EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Ethiopia, Lalibela" we are transported to the enchanting town of Lalibela in Ethiopia's Amhara region. The image captures a serene moment as an elderly man finds solace beneath the protective shade of a majestic tree, illuminated by the gentle rays of early morning light. Dressed in traditional Amhara robes, this wise old soul exudes a sense of tranquility and wisdom that only comes with age. His weathered face tells stories of a life well-lived and experiences deeply cherished. As he rests peacefully, his crook leans against the tree trunk—a symbol not just of his physical support but also representing his devout Christian faith. Lalibela is renowned for its ancient rock-hewn churches and is considered one of Ethiopia's holiest sites for Orthodox Christians. This photograph beautifully encapsulates the spiritual essence that permeates through every corner of this sacred town. The photographer has skillfully captured both the natural beauty surrounding Lalibela and the profound connection between man and nature. It serves as a poignant reminder that amidst our bustling lives, finding moments to rest and reflect can bring us closer to our own spirituality. With its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and deep-rooted religious traditions, Ethiopia continues to captivate travelers from around the world. This evocative image invites us into an intimate encounter with an Ethiopian elder who embodies resilience, devotion, and peace—a testament to humanity's universal search for meaning within their chosen faiths
