Lalibela

It’s not about the ancient churches of Lalibela and the lines: curves, straights, that blend together to create the labyrinths, unexpected angles, and multi-dimensions. It’s not even about the people: faithful, deeply immersed in their thoughts and prayers (some say they are unwelcoming, but everyone here just minds their own prayers and business). This story is about the light. The light that seeps through the thickest walls made of solid stone, radiates through the fine cotton scarves of parishioners, the light that fills up every corner, making it a magical, glowy space. The light that certainly gives you the feeling of something divine is present right here, next to you, in front of your camera.
