Lalibela, Ethiopia

Lalibela, the trench on the east side of Beta Mika’el, looking north, 2006. The stepped plinth of Beta Mika’el is on the left. At the far end of the trench are two steleform windows with arabesque decoration; that on the left lights the Iyasus cell, that on the right the Sellassie chapel.David W.
