Underground madonna by Helen Betts


04-FEB-2013

This was in one of the several chapels in the mine. I don't believe the statue was made of salt, one of the few things that isn't.

in that light, the statue glows, and the setting and overall patina of age combine to make this a stellar shot. V

Amazing madonna in fine light, like the simple wooden pedestal just to remember we are in mine, not in a cathedral, so it is a neat piece. V
