Christmas Eve

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
I took this photo last night in Christmas Eve. It was a beautiful night, there was a very nice full moon.
In New Mexico people put Luminarias on the streets. Luminarias are made from brown paper bags weighted down with sand and illuminated from within by a lit candle and traditionally displayed on Christmas Eve. These are typically arranged in rows to create large and elaborate displays. The hope among Christian believers is that the lights will guide the spirit of the Christ child to one's home. In recent times they are seen more as a secular decoration, akin to holiday lights, and have gained popularity in other parts of the country. Santa Fe and Old Town Albuquerque are well known for their impressive Christmas Eve luminaria displays.

Hello Hakan,
Very inmpressive sky with moon here, I like how you framed this picture with a tree and you took very good angle to show perspective of the road. Good shot, Bravo!
With BEST Regards,
