...but its beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.
Thoughts on the Hallgrimskirkja in Reykjavik, Iceland's capital?

Right above the front door is a large stained glass. We didn't notice it until we went to see the church at night. That was when it was lit from inside and you could see all the colours.
This church is beautiful both inside and out, in how simple the design is. I've never been in a church who's clean stone work made me feel so at peace and relaxed. Definitely worth a stop to go inside if you can.
Perhaps most striking is the statue of Liefur (Lief) Eiriksson, although interesting in that the statue is 15 years senior to the church. The church building itself taking more than 40 years to complete!
A rear profile of the church building, although not really helping the Lego brick argument!
