In my mind, this little chapel is a comet and the red and violet sky behind it is its tail.

Also there were three people out there in the dark somewhere, with head lanterns on, looking for scorpions and tarantulas and whatever else they could find. I was not interested in trading places with them. Nope. Not even a little bit.

It was a beautiful night (in spite of scorpions and stuff) – one of those nights that are so pleasant it’s hard to pack up the camera and leave.
