Blue Neon Crosses

Our Lady of Health in the old Las Cruces Mesquite neighborhood is my favorite church to photograph.
The Mass is held in both English and Spanish


The colorful facade is so different from the more austere New England meetinghouses of my old town in New Hampshire



The crosses are outlined in blue neon, a beautiful (and so Southwestern) sight against the nighttime desert sky. You can get an idea of what they look like when lit here, in this photo taken at dusk.
