Solitary

We saw many churches like this around Iceland, seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but there must be parishioners somewhere. This one also had a graveyard and caretaker.

Interesting that it would be stuck out there, seemingly in the proverbial middle of nowhere! But what a lovely little church and a gorgeous shot of it. V

That is lovely. It does give a sense of solitude.

There is always faith even when it looks barren...

stark beauty……I expect the parishioners just walked 20 or 30 miles to get there
