Ingjaldshólskirkja - a photo on Flickriver

Todays challenge - try and say that after a few beers...or even minus the beer... it was really easy to type, not like I went to goople maps and copied and pasted the place name off there, oh no, not me.

This beautiful scene with the church taking center stage is just outside Olafsvik on the Snafellsness peninsula we stopped here for a while as the light was so good, numerous possibilities for shooting and I came away with quite a few different shots, I couldn't resist a pano of the scene though to give you some idea of the surroundings of the Church, I'm not sure who comes here (apart from the other house) but it must be a long trek !

The exif says I shot this at 2:30 in the afternoon, at this time of year in Iceland you only get around 4-5 hours of sunlight, which doesn't sound much at all, but what the sunlight guides don't say is that it is bascailly golden hour for all of that time as the sun is that low you can get gorgeous pastel soft light right throughout the 'day' (as long as the clouds play ball and don't kill the sun off).

6 shot pano 1/30th.
