| Description |
This photo gives an impression of the painted and carved decorations on the interior surfaces of the Church of Bet Maryam in Lalibela, Ethiopia. Among the 13th century rock-hewn churches in Lalibela, Bet Maryam is unique in the quality and quantity of its ornamentation. Naked fluorescent tubes placed here and there inside the church for lighting make it a challenge to photograph the interior. In this photo, for example, I have masked the fluorescent tube atop the capital of the pilaster on the left, which is in deep shadow. Otherwise, light from the fluorescent tube would have overexposed everything in its immediate vicinity when I processed the photo to bring out details. I'm calling this image a "vision" and an "impression" because it clearly isn't on a par with what one might find in National Geographic or a coffee-table picture book. Nonetheless, I think the photo does a good job of conveying the mysterious atmosphere and archaic appearance of this 13th century church building. |
