Away in a manger.

Matanaka, Otago

The stables at Matanaka are some of the oldest farm building in New Zealand. A fitting place for the Nativity.

Submitted for the December 2012 challenge - "HOLIDAY SCAVENGER HUNT"

Whoever thought of putting a Nativity scene here deserves a pat on the back.
Your image is just beautiful, John.
Ah, I don't think it IS an actual nativity scene is it? Is this all your own work then? It is really wonderful.

Love the way the light illuminates the nativity scene in the dark exposure. I can see the age of the building too. V.
