Reykjavik: Hallsgrímskirkja from Skólavörðustígur

Today is a DP Theme day. There is some confusion as to the nature of the theme. It was originally billed as "post a picture from another city", but later it was billed as "show something that looks as if it belongs in another city" which is the theme we went with last year at this time. I reposted last year's picture yesterday.

I asked other blog authors to help me choose from a list of five cities, the one I would post a picture of today. The winning city was Reykjavik. This photo shows the Hallsgrímskirkja from Skólavörðustígur. An account of my day in Reykjavik can be read on my 2005 Cruise Journal.

I plan to post a couple more photos from Reykjavik, and others from Nuuk, St Petersburg, Oslo and Chania, later this month.
