Bet Giorgis Priest

Taken in Bet Georgis in the UNESCO World heritage site of Lalibela in Ethiopia. I took this image in natural light from an opened door in 2007. I returned late last year and gave this priest a copy of this image. He did not know what to make of it as he is the subject of thousands of photos a year, so it came as a huge surprise when he was given this image, he was left totally speechless

Technical details: 1/60s, f/1.8, ISO 100
Canon 400D, Canon 1.8 50mm Lens

Lalibela, Ethiopia

Keywords: Lalibela, Ethiopia, Bet Georgis, UNESCO World heritage

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
