The Mountains of Shewa

Growing up in a country abundantly blessed with highlands has held me back from perceiving and appreciating the majesty of mountains. "The Mountains of Shewa" is a collection of my favorite vistas of the Mountain ranges in the North Shewa zone gathered from two separate trips in different seasons. That is why there is an apparent distinction as a result of fog in a wet season and clear skies in the drier season.

This area sits at about 3,400 meters above sea level and has been a historically important, strategic location. I hope these photos convey the sense of vastness, tranquility, and awe one experiences when visiting the mountains of Shewa.
