Ethiopian Rock Church in Thimphu Hall

by Drew Daniels

Red stone dominates the view, carved with deep, rough channels that mimic the texture of an Ethiopian cliff face. This massive structure sits inside a ceremonial hall in Thimphu, its jagged edges catching the late afternoon sun. Dappled light falls through overhead leaves, painting shifting patches of gold and shadow across the uneven rock surface. The turn of seasons shows in the dry, brittle leaves hanging from branches above, swaying in a visible wind that bends the foliage. The stone glows with warm earth tones against the cooler, darker background of the hall. At the bottom right, a sharp shadow of a leaf falls across the rough, carved red stone.
