Reyniskirkja Church in Vík, Iceland

The white and red Reyniskirkja Church in Vík, Iceland sits on top of a hill overlooking the black sand beaches. Its contrast against Vík's windy, winding green hills intensifies the solid structure's simple beauty. The red roof can be seen from the shoreline below, the cross steeple holds strong with the winds from the ocean.
