This was my first step into a Lutheran Church and man was it a memorable one. When my friend and I visited Grundtvig's Kirke in Copenhagen, I expected significant foot traffic because it is one of the most recognizable churches in the city, however we walked into complete silence and this stunning, light-filled nave. Grundtvig's Kirke is known for it's Expressionist exterior and Gothic-inspired interior. While the exterior reminds me of a crazy space ship straight out of Krypton the interior is beautiful in its silence and simplicity.

A Peek Into Riga
A Peek Into Riga. Riga, Latvia. July 2013.
My friend Tom and I had a day together in Riga before jumping over to Stockholm. We arrived via bus from Tallinn early in the morning and made a beeline for the top of St. Peter's Church to beat the rush. St. Peter's Church offers the best panoramic views of old town Riga. The view is actually unobstructed; I knelt down to take this photo through the legs of the terrace. I wanted to highlight the other major church in old town - the Riga Cathedral - by framing it through the keyhole.
St. Nicholas & St. Alexander
St. Nicholas & St. Alexander. Tallinn, Estonia. July 2013.
What I love about this view from St. Olav's Church terrace are the two distinct architectural styles in the skyline - St. Nicholas' Church gothic spire and St. Alexander Nevsky's onion domes. These two structures are stand outs in Tallinn's old city center.

Santorini has a surprisingly high number of stray animals - this one had really good timing.
