EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, an Orthodox Christian is seen walking into one of the remarkable 11 monolithic rock-cut churches in Lalibela, Ethiopia. The image was captured by Goran Tomasevic on May 4,2013, just ahead of Orthodox Easter. The photograph showcases the exterior view of the church and highlights its breathtaking beauty. The unrecognizable figure of the Christian adds a sense of mystery to the scene as they make their way towards this iconic religious building. Alone in their journey, they are surrounded by the serene and picturesque nature that surrounds Lalibela's historic site. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the scale and creative use of stone in constructing these magnificent churches. The red-colored walls stand out against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, creating a striking contrast that further enhances their beauty. As we observe from afar, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at this architectural marvel nestled within nature's embrace. The sun casts its warm glow upon the stairs leading up to this sacred place while casting a silhouette on our lone traveler. This image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions associated with spirituality and tranquility. It reminds us that amidst our bustling modern lives, there are still places where one can find solace and connect with something greater than ourselves – be it through religion or simply appreciating the beauty found in nature's creations.
