"Power of the Pray"
"At the edge of the village, stands the church Bakkagerdiskirkja. Formerly, the church stood at Desjarmyri, the present building being consecrated in 1901. The church boasts an exceedingly remarkable altarpiece, painted by Johannes Sveinsson Kjarval in 1914. Christ is depicted during the Sermon on the Mount, standing atop Alfaborg with the Dyr Mountains in the background. This piece is one of Kjarvals most famous works, with most tourists visiting Borgarfjordur coming to look at it". I have had a strong feeling for this church ever since I was 6 years old. Hopefully I have made a decent image of it. Shutter speed: 1/125. Aperture: f/11/16. Time of day: In the afternoon. Better viewed LARGER. Thanks in advance for your time, comments and ratings.
