The nice tarmac of the first photo really was a novelty. For most of the country, the roads varied from badly maintained tarmac to dusty mud roads to unbelievably bumpy, rocky roads. Driving in Ethiopia was a slow and jarring experience - but we encountered much waving along the way.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at Serenity Photography.
