Star gazing beneath a Catholic Church

There is something about small towns at night that differ from the city; the night sky. While light pollution fog the stars, step outside the city limits and gaze at a million stars looking down on you. As I was walking by a Catholic Church in the town of Alpine, TX, I felt the need to capture the beauty of not only the stars but the church itself. What an amazing sight you can see while standing beneath this beautiful church while catching a glimpse of God himself in the twinkling of the stars.
