I took this photograph in the oldest church in Amsterdam. This room truly made me swoon. I might use this image as the place I go to in my head when the world’s just too much.
This church is in the red-light district—it was founded in 1213 and consecrated in 1306. After the Reformation it became a Calvinist church. Here’s a link with more information.

Remarkably, a family statement on a small shop window created by a somewhat untrained eye, can offer a long lasting impression which goes beyond a professional contrivance.
