This small statue of Mary is located at a church door of an old Dutch church (b. 1492). The story goes that this statue was preserved during the iconoclasm (1566) because the stormers were in too much of a hurry to destroy the statues within the church.

The Mining Ruins • Douglas Island, Alaska

Treadwell Mines accumulated $70 million in gold at the start of the 20th century, but was abandoned and sold after a flood in 1917. A century later, the earth has begun to reclaim this land. When visiting the island, the past presence of the miners is inevitable, but also reflects the power of nature’s course.

“He must trust, and he must have faith. And so he builds, because what is building, and rebuilding and rebuilding again, but an act of faith?”
