Hand held, focal length 17mm. (wish I had a full frame camera and a 24mm tilt-shift lens, but oh well)
This is Hallgrimskirkja, the biggest church in Reykjavik and for that matter in Iceland. It´s about 70m tall and one of the big landmarks in Reykjavik. Anyway, this was taken about 30 minutes before sunset and I intentionally used about a WB of about 4000K to get it this blue, I at least like it that way and hope you do too. The sky is made an enhanced blue with a polarizer.
No post processing whatsoever except in enhanced contrast in capture one, white balance set to somewhere around 4000K and in photoshop I used levels on the church to brighten it up a bit. Oh and shooting architecture is not really my thing, if anyone has some pointers that he or she thinks can help me get better, I am all ears.

Another view of another Icelandic building but I like this very much. Probably one of the most terrifying buildings I have ever seen. I think the blue tint is a little too dark in the foreground but otherwise this is a great shot.
Cool colours. In both senses of the word. Since I know the church I immediately understand the allusion, but for others I think it might be problematic. Tower slanted a bit to the R, would be better if straight. (see windows)
