O Holy Night
"O Holy NIght"
(2nd verse)
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
Over the world, a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out Orient's land.
The King of kings lies in a lowly manger;
In all our trials He comes to be our friend...
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
++++++++++++++++++++
It isn't snowing in North Texas. Maybe it is where you are.
Thank you, Flickr friends and contacts, for all your visits and kind
comments.
May you all find the PEACE that passes all understanding
through Him Who loves us most...Christ the Lord.
Amen and amen.
Jeri

A fantastic piece of work, very christmassy in a spooky sort of way.
In answer to your question, that particular was taken using a sigma 18-200 lens. I moved away from manual mode and tried using portrait mode for the last two shots and i am very pleased with the results.
Have a very happy christmas day.
