Sketch of icon. A group of devout tourists walk into the small rock hewn church. Their guide points at the architecture, the paintings, the history, an iPad records it all. They pray, crosses are kissed, a cell phone rings and the group moves on. One lady hangs behind and asks the priest for ashes from the alter, she folds it into piece of scrap paper. “It’s for good health”. The crowd leaves and the priest and his helper count the donations. #Ethiopia #EverydayAfrica #throughanewlenscontest #natgeotravel #thephotosociety #bbctravel #wanderlustcontest #cntraveler #ourdailyplanet #worldnomads #discoverglobe #travelstoke
