What makes v3 ours and not theirs

DeviceHow it works
The lanternA brass storm lantern is the recurring warm light across the whole set - on the path, on a windowsill, on the kitchen table, in a child's hands, hanging from a waymarker. Ember uses sunlight and church candles. The lantern is the thing you carry, which is the point of the book. It is on both covers and in the cover medallion.
The trailEvery outdoor frame has a visible track, path or footprints. The brand is named after it. In their imagery the path is scenery; here it is the subject, and it always leads somewhere.
The kirkeskibThe votive ship hanging from the vault - a real and very Danish church tradition. It reads as Denmark instantly and never as American church stock. Appears in the interior, the altar and the pew shots.
The lightCool silver-blue Nordic shadows against warm highlights, instead of their single amber wash. Danish locations throughout: dunes, heather, marram grass, rapeseed, North Sea sky, whitewashed stepped-gable churches. No cypress, no Tuscany.
