The Wrath of the Norse Gods

    Hewn from stone, the temple spire awaits my approach, making my chest rattle with thunder.

    This is Hallgrímskirkja, a church in downtown Reykjavik, Iceland. It is built to resemble an ancient area of the countryside, near a waterfall, where stones in these shapes were found as part of a natural geological formation.
