This is one of my favourite photos taken when I was community trekking some years ago in the western Meket area of Ethiopia. It gives a sense of the immensity of the mountain ranges there. The tiny ‘hut’ on the edge of the precipice was a small ‘dining’ room. At about 3000 metres above sea level, we huddled around a fire to keep out the chill of the mountain air, while eating a delicious vegetarian dinner.
The trek offered incredible views as we followed the escarpment edge and passed through the communities who hosted us in local guest houses . More than half of the cost of the trek goes to these local communities.

What a fantastic view, and the hut really does provide a sense of scale.

But you do manage to convey a tremendous depth. I checked the link to the trekking tour company and the treks look really interesting. Thanks for the link.

Thanks. I’ve been so fortunate in my life that I’ve had the opportunity to travel. Probably because I teach English!

You are blessed indeed. Working while traveling is a great thing. I’ve done a lot of it. You get to meet people and see places other than the usual tourist things.

So true. Even when I ‘holiday’ now I tend to do some volunteer teaching / mentoring if I can fit it in 😊
