Midnight mass in the mountains

There is a midnight mass held every Christmas in a chapel on a nearby mountain. People hike there and it's wonderful to see the procession of torches and lamps moving through the night.
There were fireworks there, too, unfortunately. :dunno
When the mass was over, people started to head back home:
The mountain huts, light pollution from the valley and a passer's-by headlamp:
It was very windy and I had to put all my weight on the tripod to push it to the ground, but still most of the photos turned out blurry.
There was fog in the valley below and those red and orange patches are citylights penetrating through the fog:
Merry Christmas everybody!

How VERY cool!! Thanks for posting, the two above are my favorites, the first while I know what a times exposure makes it seem like 100s and 1000s of people were walking to attend the mass.
This last one is just awesome and otherworldly. Great job!
