Black church of Budir in Iceland

Black church of Budir

The black church of Budir, named Búðakirkja, stands out of the surrounding landscape thanks to its color. It is painted black with pitch to protect it from the harsh Icelandic weather. Its black color makes a wonderful contrast to the cloud mountains in the background. Although it is isolated this place is popular for weddings in Iceland! I was taking some photos when a girl with a yellow coat came close to the church and posed for her friend. I couldn’t resist not pressing the shutter.

This is the exact same view from Ninemia Luxury Residence in Perdika. During the day, it's all about watching the sun dip into the Ionian Sea from the infinity pool. But when the lights go out? The sky turns into an absolute canvas. The clarity over the water makes it the perfect spot to capture the rotation of the earth.

Here is another photo I capture of the comet C/202 Here is another photo I capture of the comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS). This photo was taken at Nea Paralia of Thessaloniki.
As I photographed the comet, many people stopped to chat and catch a glimpse through my camera, as it was hardly visible to the naked eye. If you’re one of those who came by, feel free to say hello!

The photo was taken a few minutes after sunset in Thessaloniki, looking west. I was fortunate to capture this once-in-80,000-year comet as well as an incredible sunset! I also had the pleasure of meeting another comet hunter, with whom we had a nice talk while we waited for the comet to appear!
