EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Bet Giorgis, a rock-cut church located in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Bathed in warm sunlight, this ancient structure stands proudly amidst the picturesque African countryside. Its rugged hillside location and intricate stone work make it an awe-inspiring testament to the country's rich heritage. The image captures the solitude and tranquility of this remote site, where visitors can immerse themselves in the spirituality and history of Ethiopian Christianity. The geometric shapes etched into the brown stone walls add a touch of contemporary artistry to its ancient architecture. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to an era when such magnificent structures were painstakingly carved out of solid rock. The ethereal morning light casts a beautiful glow on every detail - from the crucifix adorning its entrance to the figures engraved within its walls. Lalibela is renowned for its collection of rock-cut churches, but Bet Giorgis holds a special place as one of Ethiopia's most treasured landmarks. This sacred house of worship has become a popular tourist attraction for those seeking seclusion and spiritual enlightenment. Julia Bayne/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures both the grandeur and serenity that emanate from this historical landmark. It serves as a reminder not only of Africa's ancient civilizations but also of humanity's enduring quest for faith and connection with something greater than ourselves.
