Everyone’s seen Hallgrimskirkja (Hallgrim’s Church) in Reykjavik, but Iceland is actually the home to many other modernist churches, including the Ólafsvíkurkirkja in the little fishing village of Olafsvik, population ~1,000. The church was consecrated in 1967, and if you look closely, it’s made entirely of triangles. We weren’t looking for it exactly, but there happened to be a double rainbow in the sky when we were driving through town, and we stopped by to take a look. The church was made more magnificent by the gorgeous backdrop of the mountain on one side, the ocean on the other, and a waterfall in between. Just one of many little pleasant surprises on our Iceland road trip!
