Thank you, Phil and Jung.

Phil - It took me multiple visits to the location over 12 years to get something worthwhile. Finally I got lucky a couple of weeks ago.

Rajan, these are the best images I have seen of Grafarkirkja. I visited this turf church during my drive around Skagafjörður but it was completely covered with clouds. Both images are fantastic. 👍🏻

Parul, Carla, Jim, & Marcelo: Thank you very much for your remarks.

Carla - Wow. Skagafjörður is a major (Icelandic) horse breeding region.

Laruse & Douglas - thank you very much.

Douglas - yes, it is now a kind of museum; I don't think there is any worship there currently. It is also one of the few churches in Iceland to have a circular graveyard. There are references to it in the old Icelandic sagas of the 12th C. Also see -
