For those wondering, this is Hallgrímskirkja, a church in Reykjavík.

I got to do 24 hours in Reykjavik for a layover in early winter. Absolutely wonderful city

Actually my dream trip is the 10 day lap of Iceland, so yes, 1000% I will. Also, saved for future reference 😊

Roughly how much did the 10-day trip cost?

Haha that's dangerous news - I am already a passionate seafood fan but alas, live in the dry lands.

Another comment you said you did your Master's there. Can I ask if you enjoyed the experience? I've wondered about doing a European masters but Iceland had never crossed my mind until today

We did a week and did day tours. Not as adventurous but still a blast. Definitely want to go again and drive the golden circle!

They had this outside the last time I went.

I've played enough Dark Souls to know the guy in the armour is about to get his shit fucked up.

Great views up at the top of the tower

I was lucky(?) enough that the volcano was going off whilst I was up there a couple of years ago and got some great pictures

Umm, wow!

Feel like this comment deserves more attention.

Would you share any of those photos?

Incredible.

9point6@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 245d (1 reply)

This one is probably my favourite

MrShankles@reddthat.com · 2 pts · 245d

That is hauntingly beautiful... and an incredible shot! Thank you so much for sharing!

MrShankles@reddthat.com · 1 pts · 245d (1 reply)

I second the photo sharing

Just replied to the other comment

Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone · 8 pts · 245d

I wonder if it was inspired by the columnar jointing formations you can find in Iceland?

TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 245d

I was about to say! I've been there (only on the outside though, I can't enter churches without spontaneous combustion)

qevlarr@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 245d

Very recognizable and everyone who has ever been to Iceland has probably seen it.

...and it's gorgeous.

The pancake truck is parked outside daily, but never open when I was there. This is religion inaccessible to the people even in viking paradise.

Seems pretty normal to me.

Are you sure?

OpenStars@piefed.social · 14 pts · 245d (1 reply)

Within 95% confidence.

HowAbt2day@futurology.today · 3 pts · 245d

That’s actually pretty good.

OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world · 47 pts · 245d (7 replies)

A very average looking church.

ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 245d (3 replies)

Don't be mean.

Morphit@feddit.uk · 8 pts · 245d

It's à la mode right now.

MrShankles@reddthat.com · 4 pts · 245d

Ahh, you sum' biche! I've now lost all confidence in my ability to catch a pun

OpenStars@piefed.social · 2 pts · 245d

Meh, I prefer median myself:-).

For a second, I thought you were being smug or something? And then the whoosh dawned on me... brava

Edit: I guess I was behind the curve on that one?

marcos@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 245d

I'd say it's a normal one.

checkmate atheists

Apostates! May all unbelievers of the Holy Stats be stricken with plague? (Unfortunately Americans might do just that🥴🙃😭)

melsaskca@lemmy.ca · 14 pts · 245d

It's deistically significant to plus or minus 2 parishioners.

mr_account@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 245d

That seems likely

And on the second slope you can see the 20% prediction interval

This a doomsday church?

The Church of Alpha the Utterly Indifferent, from "The Songs of Distant Earth" by Arthur C. Clarke?
