Debre Sina Beta Maryam church, Lake Tana, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. A girl collects water from a nearby well to take her home next to Debram Maryam Monastery on Lake Tana. There are 37 islands on the surface of Lake Tana, of which 20 harbor churches and monasteries of immense historical and cultural value. These churches, which are decorated with precious paintings, also lend countless treasures. Because of their isolation, they were often used to store artistic treasures and religious relics throughout the country.
