I live in Kenya, just South of Ethiopia and know many Ethiopians. But from these pictures I realize I have never known Ethiopia!! Amazing pictures that tell the amazing story of a different Africa just north of me.

Wow, by far the most amazing gallery I have ever had the pleasure of viewing. I am left speechless. I am stunned by the vibrant colors of the jewelery and the cows blood on the kids lips. I feel like I have just visited Southern Ethipia, and in a way I have. Voted and well deserved. Thanks for sharing this with the rest of us.
