Abuna Yemata Guh sent on 11 Dicembre 2019 (8:36) by Mauro De Bettio. 20 comments, 2001 views.

at 24mm, 1/80 f/2.8, ISO 2000, hand held.

È senza dubbio il luogo di culto più inaccessibile sulla terra, arroccato su una guglia di roccia verticale e 200 metri di vuoto su entrambi i lati. La chiesa monolitica Abuna Yemata, situata nel nord dell'Etiopia nella regione del Tigray, si trova a 2.600 metri di altezza e per raggiungerla si deve scalare a piedi nudi una roccia verticale, cosa che fa pensare a come le famiglie riescano a raggiungerla per le funzioni domenicali. Risalente al V secolo, la storia narra che il suo fondatore, padre Yemata, costruì la cappella per essere più vicino agli spiriti celesti; tuttavia, altri sostengono che sia stata una mossa strategica per evitare i suoi nemici. Questo è il posto più straordinario che abbia mai visto e questo prete è uno dei soggetti più incredibili che ho avuto la fortuna di fotografare nella mia vita.

Beautiful the whole Mauro series, illustrious places, people, tradition of an extraordinary land, unfortunately battered by the numerous civil wars. A greeting From Maximus
