Priest Reading, Yeha Treasury, Yeha, Ethiopia October 2007
Abba Garima Monastery is right outside the Sabean ruin known as the "Temple of the Sun and the Moon" (later converted to a church) in Yeha. The monastery's treasury on the second floor has an excellent collection of manuscripts as well as a smattering of Sabean artefacts discovered at the temple site. The keeper of the treasury here moved to the window to get better light for reading, and it was a fairly easy task to take this photo of him.
