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.

#silentsunday Sao Domingo is best known for the abandoned copper mine, but this church, which looks like a small castle, is also worth seeing. I loved it. #church #portugal #streetphotography #landscape #travel #photography #fediverse #pixelfed #oldchurch

Nights like this are why I love small town #Appalachia. 🌌✨

Out here, the streetlights try their best to glow, and they are bright, but the stars always outshine them in my heart and mind. There’s a kind of quiet magic in these mountain evenings where the world slows down, the sky opens up, and you remember how big and beautiful everything really is.

A peaceful quiet as I walk down the street. I really stop and wonder how I got so lucky to be living under this #Appalachian sky. No other place I would want to be.

Give me a country road, a cold night, and a sky full of constellations, and I’m home. 🏡🌄
