Our Pope... Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This picture was shot after the death of the Pope John Paul II, in a small village in China, where I found a small, bad shaped catholic church. On the wall of the church, there was an old, dirty, destroyed poster of the Pope. For me it looked like the Pope had been greeting us from the other side of "life after death"...

PS. For me this photo has a special meaning because I'm catholic. Probably for other people it will be less significant, but I wanted to share this photo with You :)

Hi Wojciech,
Great illusionic poster, looks so abstract.
It is difficult to get a clear shot of old documents specially papers, you have done great job. Cheers. Hadi
