EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this striking print is the breathtaking landscape of Lake Abbe, situated on the border of Djibouti and Ethiopia. This alkaline lake marks the end of a chain of lakes where the Awash River dissipates, creating a unique geological formation. The jagged pinnacles and spires surrounding the lake were formed thousands of years ago when volcanic gases bubbled up through the earth's surface.
In this arid landscape, life thrives despite the harsh conditions. Nomadic Afar tribespeople live alongside their domesticated animals, such as goats and sheep, which roam freely across the rocky terrain. The women are often seen carrying baskets on their heads, gathering firewood or tending to their flocks.
The indigenous people have adapted to this unforgiving environment by developing subsistence farming practices that rely on rainfall and irrigation from nearby springs. Their traditional way of life is deeply connected to the land and its rhythms.
As we gaze upon this stunning scene, we are reminded of humanity's resilience in face of adversity. Despite living in one of Africa's driest regions, these communities have learned to thrive amidst rock formations that rise like sentinels from the desert floor.
