EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Lake Abbe, situated on the border of Djibouti and Ethiopia. As the final destination for the Awash River, this alkaline lake is surrounded by a harsh and arid landscape that has shaped its unique features over thousands of years. The striking jagged pinnacles and spires near the lake were formed by ancient volcanic gases bubbling up through the earth's surface. In this rugged environment, indigenous people belonging to the Afar tribe have adapted their lives to survive. Nomadic pastoralists roam these lands with their herds of domesticated animals, primarily goats. These resilient individuals practice subsistence farming in order to sustain themselves amidst such challenging conditions. The image captures a glimpse into their daily lives as women from the Afar tribe tend to their livestock against a backdrop of rocky formations and dry terrain. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and nature's ability to thrive even in seemingly inhospitable environments. Discover Images by AWL brings us closer to understanding diverse cultures and landscapes across Africa through breathtaking visuals like this one, reminding us of our planet's incredible diversity and inspiring us to appreciate its wonders.
