EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the ancient rock-hewn church of Bet Gabriel-Rufael in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Standing proudly at the entrance is a priest, his full-length figure exuding an air of reverence and wisdom. This remarkable structure, nestled within the UNESCO World Heritage Site, represents an extraordinary feat of architecture and serves as a historical landmark. The image captures the essence of Africa's rich cultural heritage with its vibrant colors and African backdrop. The isolation and seclusion surrounding this remote Christian sanctuary add to its mystique and allure. As we gaze upon the priest standing amidst the ruins, we can't help but feel connected to an ancient civilization that once thrived here. The ringing bell hanging outside signifies not only a call to worship but also echoes through time itself - reminding us of centuries-long traditions rooted in Christianity. The photograph beautifully showcases both the intricate details of Ethiopian craftsmanship and the grandeur of this house of worship. Andrew McConnell/Robert Harding's skillful photography transports us on a visual journey through history as we explore this travel destination steeped in ancient civilization. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst modernity, there are still hidden gems waiting to be discovered – places like Lalibela that preserve our shared human heritage for generations to come.
