I love the difference in scale b/w the mountain and the pilgrim.. Well seen. Bala

i love the texture in this shot and the darker tones! a good example of how small we are in front of nature and some natural or man-made sites... I love your ethiopian shots for it is such an ignored and unknown country...
Eric

I love such shots, where it is difficult to understand landscape dimensions, but some "little" people help our eyes...
Lalibela must be such an interesting place!
Thank you!!
Livia

THe scale is that for me gives this shot its extraordinary power, Swiatek. And these pink brown tones. Superbly seen.
sasa

Also very nice - I'm surprised you didn't put this one up sooner!

I am never tired of your intelligence and sensibility.
the pov and the title are just perfect.
oh desolated place...

ZAWSZE gdy widze takie zdjecie Swiatek, nie kompozycja,swiatlem czy kolorem sie zachwycam.
Pierwsza rzecz ktora przychodzimi do glowy...Ludzka praca!!! Etos ludzkiej pracy niemozliwy do pelnego zrozumienia. I pytanie: Dlaczego ??? Oto jeden z najbiedniejszych krajow swiata - Ethiopia. Przyczyna biedy? Jak w 99% takich samych przypadkow...Niewystarczajacy wklad ludzkiej pracy WSZYSTKICH mieszkancow tego rejonu w swoje wlasne przetrwanie. I oto gigantyczna praca tych ludzi wlozona w cos (naszym pojeciem) absolutnie zbednego. Nieproduktywnego. Przeciez modlic sie mozna w szalasie! Zaloze sie ze najblisza studnia byla kawal drogi. A wsciekly glod wyniszcza cale plemiona rok w rok.
Uff, rozgadalem sie za duzo. A przeciez to tylko zdjecie. Ale zagadalo do wyobrazni. Dawaj wiecej i wiecej takich, Nygusie.
