Church of Saint George, Ethiopia
Piper Mackay’s shots of pilgrims gathering around the churches and
monasteries of Lalibela were highly commended in the People of the World
category. The US photographer captured the shots using an infrared lens,
creating a beautifully soft but striking tone. This image shows worshippers
around the 12th-century Church of Saint George or Bete Giyorgis, one of 11
rock-hewn churches in Lalibela whose cross-shaped structure is chiseled
straight into the ground and accessed via tunnels and stairways.
