Kaiser's Gift


In Luderitz, Namibia, the dominant building is a church called the Felsenkirche, perched
on top of a  little  rocky outcrop  above the  town.  It was built in 1912 and contains a magnificent stained glass window donated by Kaiser Wilhelm II. Keith Alexander took the stained glass window and painted the church as a ruin in the midst of desolation.
The quiet but powerful sunset behind the crumbling building serves to highlight the
spiritual beauty of the remaining window, illustrating perhaps that God survives
when the works of Man lie in ruins?
