EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the ancient town of Lalibela in Ethiopia, where a pilgrim finds solace and enlightenment in the early morning sun. Positioned at the entrance doors of Bet Maryam church, believed to be the oldest rock hewn church in Lalibela and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this devout Christian immerses himself in his Holy Bible. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a testament to faith and devotion. The warm rays of sunlight gently caress the intricate carvings on the stone walls surrounding him, creating an ethereal glow that illuminates his surroundings. As he sits there engrossed in scripture, one can almost feel the weight of history and spirituality that permeates through these sacred grounds. Lalibela itself is renowned for its remarkable rock-hewn churches, each carved meticulously out of solid volcanic rock centuries ago. This particular photograph showcases not only the architectural marvels but also highlights how religion continues to play an integral role within contemporary Ethiopian society. Jane Sweeney/Robert Harding's expert photography beautifully captures this intimate moment between man and faith. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world filled with distractions, there are still those who seek solace and guidance from their religious beliefs. This stunning vertical composition invites us into their world - encouraging us to reflect upon our own spiritual journeys while admiring both the beauty of nature and human devotion captured within this single frame.
