Hallgrímskirkja Plaza

Black And White Photography, C.S. Young Jr., Photography

The Hallgrímskirkja Church plaza minimalist layout, patterned paving stones, sparse benches, and low walls, was chosen intentionally to echo Iceland’s natural landscape: vast, unadorned, yet full of quiet power. Beneath the surface lies a carefully engineered heating system that melts snow in winter, keeping the space accessible year-round.

While purchasing a silver and lava ring at the Ófeigur Jewelry store on the Rainbow Street in Reykjavík, Iceland, I noticed their charming garden terrace out back. They kindly allowed me to photograph the garden. This wall vignette is one of many compositions from my visit.
