EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Andrew McConnell/Robert Harding, we are transported to the ancient city of Lalibela in Ethiopia, Africa. The image captures a woman emerging from a tunnel that leads to the magnificent rock-hewn church of Bet Amanuel. The sheer scale and grandeur of the scene is awe-inspiring as we witness the woman's ascent from darkness into light. The vertical composition emphasizes both the height of the cliffs surrounding her and her own determination to reach her destination. As she climbs up the stone steps carved into the rocks, one can't help but marvel at the architectural feat accomplished centuries ago. These remarkable churches were meticulously chiseled out of solid rock, creating an otherworldly sanctuary for worshipers. The vibrant colors in this photograph add depth and vibrancy to an already breathtaking landscape. Against a backdrop of earthy tones and rocky terrain, it is impossible not to be drawn towards this woman's journey through history. This image serves as a reminder of Ethiopia's rich cultural heritage and its significance as a travel destination for those seeking adventure and spiritual enlightenment. It invites us to explore not only physical landscapes but also our own inner depths as we embark on our personal journeys. Through McConnell/Harding's lens, we are invited into a world where past meets present, where faith intertwines with nature, leaving us inspired by both human ingenuity and Mother Earth's majestic beauty.
