This is isolated Budir Black Church sitting amongst the Búðahraun Lava field on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula in western Iceland. Why is the church black? Well, it sits fully exposed out here in a hostile environment, so the wooden exterior is coated with pitch to offer some protection against the worst of the Icelandic weather. Its diminutive form seems dwarfed by the vastness of the incredible mountain scenery it is located in.

Location: Budir, Snaefellsnes Peninsula, Western Iceland
