The story behind this image

The largest building in Reykjavik, Iceland - This is the Hallgrimskirkja church, situated on a hill overlooking the town.

Designed to resemble a wave, a good portion of the church was covered in scaffolding due to leaky concrete, so I had to compose a somewhat minimalist image of the church and the Viking statue at the front.

Never mind though, as the minimalist approach seems to suit the Icelandic way of doing things quite well.
