Hallgrímskirkja
Hallgrímskirkja is a stunning Lutheran church located in the heart of Reykjavik, Iceland. It is one of the most iconic landmarks in the city, standing tall at 74.5 meters high. The church's unique architecture, inspired by the Icelandic landscape, makes it a popular destination for tourists and photographers alike. The church's observation deck offers breathtaking views of the city, including the colorful rooftops and the surrounding mountains. The interior of the church is equally impressive, with its grand organ and minimalist design.

Hallgrímskirkja in Reykjavic at 244ft tall is the largest church in Iceland and one of the largest buildings in the entire country, even for a very laid back country it's quite amazing that it took a rather pedestrian 41 years to complete!
This was shot just prior to dawn, there was some great heavy cloud movement this morning so ideal for a long exposure, only needing to use the little stopper at this time of day to give well over a minute of exposure time, even at the widest end of my wide angle lens and from a low perspective was it possible to get the full height of the building in, it's that big. Soon after this the useful dark clouds emptied their wares and it didn't stop raining for a good while, this would turn out to be the only morning of the trip I was able to get this shot so well worth getting out of bed on that occasion. Gone for a square format in mono as I think it suits the subject well, colour wasn't really bringing anything to the table with this shot.
