The Wrath of the Norse Gods

Hewn from stone, the temple spire awaits my approach, making my chest rattle with thunder.

This is Hallgrímskirkja, a church in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland. It is built to resemble an ancient area of the countryside, near a waterfall, where stones in these shapes were found as part of a natural geological formation.

The Large Version of this looks cool.

    I didn’t know you were that good a photographer when you took the picture of me and my friend ice skating the other day!
