Wordless Wednesday 8/29/07

My blog seems mostly to be wordless these days! Once I clear a backlog of work that built up over the summer I plan to get back to ranting more regularly, but for now it’s nice to put something more visual out there. This pic is an Ethiopian Orthodox priest at Debre Libanos, a couple of hours north of Addis Ababa.

   Great composition. Did you take this photo yourself? You must be quite the world traveler.

   Happy WW

   Hi CableGirl.

   Yes, I did take this myself. My wife and I were in Ethiopia this spring (my first time in Africa) to adopt our baby daughter, Maia.

   Ethiopians are very photogenic, but also photophobic. Fortunately the priest was happy to pose — most people (apart from kids) aren’t too pleased at westerners taking snaps of them.

   I liked your redshirt shot. I kinda scratched my head, read the explanation, and then slapped my head. It was so obvious once you pointed it out.

   Thanks for sharing. As it is, I’ve never, not in picture or in person, seen an Orthodox priest before, much less Ethiopian.
