Christmas Luminaries

Christmas Luminaries

Whether you call them luminaries or farolitos these bags with candles are a Christmas Eve tradition in New Mexico.  Traditionally they were meant to help guide the Christ child to your home.
 
This image was taken at the 17th century ruin of the San Jose de Los Jemez Mission Church in Jemez Springs, New Mexico.  Moon light provided some nice fill light for me.  ISO 1600, f/13, 30 sec exposure
