A Ray of Hope
Last Wednesday the Dutch Church made a tiny appareance on the front page on our local paper, along with an extensive coverage of the decay of the building in another page. Let us celebrate this sparkle of interest with an image of the only remaining (almost) intact window of the church.This is an excerpt from a video shot by Claudio Ceccarini during our visit inside the church.

Lovely window shot, VP, and I just loved the video!
ReplyDeleteThe video was well done showing much destruction but the walls of the church look to be in fairly good shape. The window is lovely.
