In partenza per viaggio fotografico in Etiopia per il natale Copto, Cerco compagni di viaggio. Info su http://www.stefanopensotti.com/viaggio_fotografico_in_etiopia-w5209 GENNA: IL NATALE COPTO DI LALIBELA Genna, è una delle più importanti festività religiose dell'Etiopia. E' il Natale Copto Etiope, luogo migliore per fotografare festa è a Lalibela. Mi c sono avvicinato lentamente a Lalibela attraversando l'altopiano etiope dove più vive sono le tradizioni e la vita è ancorata ad antiche usanze. Uscendo dagli itinerari standard del turismo nel nord del paese per seguire le piste sterrate che portano nei villaggi persi tra le montagne dell'acrocoro etiope. Questo mi ha dato la possibilità di fotografare il quotidiano di questo popolo per creare un racconto “completo”, una storia che culmini con le celebrazioni di Genna. A Lalibela, qui ogni anno giungono dopo un pellegrinaggio di centinaia di chilometri, settimane di cammino, superando valli e montagne, migliaia di credenti. Un vero e proprio esodo bibblico che ho fotografato: l'arrivo dei pellegrini, il loro campo la loro fede Lo sfondo naturale di questo evento è Lalibela con le sue 11 chiese scolpite nel tufo rosa della montagna, luogo davvero magico e perfetta location fotografica. La vigilia in notturna con i fedeli in sciamma bianca alla luce di mille candele, poi i riti del mattino con i Diaconi e Sacerdoti al suono di cembali e tamburi.

This image of yours evokes to me the memory of that immense row of imbacuccate people in those white robes that covered practically in a row the dusty paths from dawn to take advantage of the coolest moments of the day near Lake Tana.
I was heading towards the next stage, aboard the usual Jeep poorly reduced and panting for the altitude and that day, like the others, I would have reserved at least a puncture.
That vision made me come to mind for an association of ideas to a Dante's infernal group ;-)

Splendid for its setting, light (really fabulous), combination of colors and expressiveness. A highly evocative and fascinating photo, with great narrative strength and capable of taking your mind directly there. Great shot (the caption is also excellent), congratulations.
