Description
On our recent trip to the fascinating country of Iceland, my husband and I saw hundreds of little country churches all around the island. They were all very similar...always simple, white, with a red roof, and a steeple with a cross at the top. Our tour director explained that almost al of them were Lutheran churches, since that is the state religion of Iceland. However, one afternoon we were quite surprised to see this blue roofed church sitting at the top of a hill in a very remote area. Not sure if it was of a different faith because I didn't see any sign out front, but right away I imagined that perhaps the people in this location had just wanted to be a little different than everyone else! Against the stormy sky, it was very picturesque and always brings a smile to my face as I wonder how they got away with being totally unique in their choice of church colors!
