Núpsstaður church 

Bilbos Home? ;)

If it had a round door it could very well be :o)

beautiful shot, beautiful area!

Thank you so much Sol... and you're quite right about the area :o)

I wonder how big the congregation was back then? What a photogenic church, I doubt there are many much smaller than this. You're right - at orginial size this is a marvellous shot!! :-)) I keep being drawn to the horizon on the right. What a low, flat beach. At least I guess it is. Is it very tidal there? The sea seems miles away...

LOL, yes this is the typical old country church here in Iceland. I should have gone in and photographed the inside of it... I'll do it next time ;o)

You're right about the low, flat beach. This is the southern part of Iceland and the black sands are dominant and expansive there... and those tides have claimed the lives of unwary people more than once...

Oh, and I just found out (while googling) that Núpsstaður is on the World Heritage list! whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/1605 :o)

Just the cutest place... :-)))

It sure is... the old turf house and the old church... I'm starting to think Icelanders were somewhat smaller back then ;o)

Some centuries ago people were much shorter :-)

LOL, then I must have very ancient genes! :D

Flott mynd :o) Virðast vera margar svona litlar kirkjur út um allt. Greinilega ekki vera fyrir mjög stórt fólk... eða fjölmenni :o)

Takk takk Oddur, já ég held að fólk hafi verið eitthvað minna hérna í gamla daga en núna... ég hefði passað mjög vel inn þarna :D

Vraiment trés originale, merci de me faire visiter ton beau pays.....

Merci Nadine... my pleasure :o)

Falleg mynd af Núpsstaðarkirkju!

Takk kærlega Bragi :o)

I really like that!

Thank you so much Corinna :o)

Molto molto bella (very very nice)!!!

Mi piace (I like it), Begga! :-)

Grazie molto Paolo! :D

Cozy staður og skemmtilega römmuð inn Begga

Takk takk Ester :o)

very nice cute church.. perhaps there not many people go to it so they build a small one

Yes I don't think there were many people there in those days :o) Thank you Nada!

even the little church looks magical :-)
there is something about little chapels
the intimacy with God I suppose
closeness with others
great pic Begga

Thank you so much Sherry... and you're right, many of those little old turf churches are magical and somehow so "warm" :o)

Maybe it is easier to find God in these little churches.
Your next excellent shot of this magical landscape. You shoud publish a photo album with your works!

Maybe it is... I find those little churches so much warmer and more intimate than the new, big ones ;o)
... and wow, thanks Viola!

Churches in Iceland makes me speechles... every time I see one!!! ;-)

There are a lot of cute, old churches around the country... thank you Sandra :o)
