Lalibela Church in Benin City Courtyard Midnight
by Amina Kelly
Warm candlelight pools across the rough-hewn stone of a cross-shaped rock-hewn church standing alone in a temple courtyard. Low-hanging clouds drift silently overhead, diffusing the glow into soft halos around the ancient masonry. The perspective from behind reveals the deep recesses of the cross arms and the textured surface of the volcanic rock, worn smooth by centuries of weather. Shadows stretch long and dark across the courtyard floor, defined by the flickering flames held near the entrance. The turn of the seasons is visible in the sparse, dry grass clinging to the stone base, while the heavy cloud cover presses low against the night sky, showing enclosed stillness. One candle flame dances in the corner, casting a sharp, trembling shadow against the curved wall.
