The old church at Búðir, with a glacier-capped volcano in the distance, at the end of the Snæfellsnes penninsula.
The volcano became the entrance to the underground journey in Jules Vernes' "A Journey to the Center of the Earth."

I have really been enjoying all your Icelandic shots, Chris - both here and on your pro gallery. They are all exquisitely beautiful. In terms of this month's offerings, this one caught my eye right away. Love the clean, stark beauty,the amazing clarity and clear, pure colors. It is hauntingly beautiful. #10384512Chris Budny October 26, 2012

Another beauty Chris! Many congrats! #10788871Chris Budny July 31, 2013
Thank you all very much! This little church would have been the "indoor venue" for my sister's wedding, if bad weather arose. As it turned out, weather was gorgeous for her evening beach wedding, about 300 yards from the church. #10790278Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
