Commons scenes in Lalibela, a small town in northern Ethiopia that’s home to 11 spectacular churches carved both inside and out from a single rock some 900 years ago. Religious ritual is central to the life of the town, with regular processions, extensive fasts, crowds of singing and dancing priests. This combined with its extraordinary religious architecture and simplicity of life, gives the city of Lalibela a distinctively timeless almost biblical atmosphere. The following pictures were taken during a funeral in a central park of the town and inside orthodox church.

I am Cesar Suarez originally from Bogota-Colombia based out of Los Angeles- California.
I am a passionate photographer successful at capturing documentary scenes for use in magazines and independent publications. Believes curiosity and innovation are a photographer’s greatest allies.
I use photography as a form of self-expression, my stories come from many different places. I find my inspiration everywhere and in everyone. through my pictures i want people get to see life in another way.
