EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this breathtaking print is the majestic 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 its waters. The surrounding landscape is dotted with jagged pinnacles and spires, formed thousands of years ago when volcanic gases bubbled up through the earth's surface.
In this harsh yet beautiful environment, indigenous Afar people have adapted to a nomadic lifestyle, relying on their domesticated animals such as goats and sheep for sustenance. The dry arid landscape stretches out before us, punctuated by rocky formations that provide shelter for these resilient creatures.
The women of the Afar tribe can be seen tending to their livestock, herding them across the rugged terrain in search of scarce water and food sources. Their subsistence farming practices are deeply rooted in tradition and culture, allowing them to thrive in one of Africa's most unforgiving environments.
This stunning image not only showcases the natural beauty of Lake Abbe but also highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of those who call this land home.
