Show Us Your Altars & Shrines
How about a showing of some of the Baja shrines and altars we've seen along the way?
I'll start it off:
From a wall in the Mulege Jail:
This from a small shrine along the road by Concepcion:

Nena,
This might be stretching your parameters a bit. Thought all the crosses in this art gallery was worthy of a photo.

Nope, nothing juicy about it. 
We were walking around Mulege seeing the sights, taking photos, and my friend suggested a visit to the old jail. Currently it is a museum... quite
the interesting place. I highly recommend a visit.

What a wonderful stretching of parameters, Ken, thank you.
Such colorful and different crosses with a pleasing layout. I'd love to have a wall like that at my house!
You're too funny, Hook.

I knew you'd have some good photos for us, Paulina. Thanks. I especially like that little grotto in San Luis Gonzaga... its
simplicity makes it seem so, well, holy.
And that photo from San Bjora, Ken - the illumination and softness of the walls and floors make it reminiscent of days gone by,
inviting us into the past. Very nice image.
I am enjoying seeing these photos!
Here's one you'll see along the highway in San Bartolo.
And this is one of my altars at home:
