Morning Light [Travel ]
Uploaded: September 05, 2012 03:56:56
Sunlight pours through slender clear windows in the apse of the austerely elegant, gothic-influenced Hallgrímskirkja of Reykjavik. Iceland's largest
church took 38 years to complete, in 1986. It dominates the city skyline, featuring an observation deck way up in the single front bell tower.

Thanks so much, folks! I worked up another version that clones in a new window on the right--that big blank wall seems too empty to me... but then I felt guilty about making such a departure from reality; the space is so simple, clean and sparse. #10311080Ellen Hodges September 10, 2012
