    Lots of faith traditions from out of Ethiopia.

    He looks quite studious!

    I find it fascinating that there's such a power play sort of atmosphere between the denominations that jockey for position in that church. I wrote a sequence set inside there.

    I like this picture very much. The older man learning from his book. The young boy learning from the building itself. Both good ways to learn.

    Such an interesting photo! I hope ABC-ers will follow up on the story and history behind this photo. So much most of us don't know about the history of the Middle East.

    He is sitting on something that may or may not qualify as a bench...
