A caravan of camels on their way through the Ass Ale salt lake in the Danakil Desert in Ethiopia. Every day more than 1000 camels are arriving at the place where the Afar people are braking plates of salt out of the ground - the traders are buying these salt-blocks and transporting themt with their caravans of camels and donkeys in 5 - 6 days back to the Highlands of Northern Ethiopia. The Danakil Desert (or Danakil Depression) in the border-triangle between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti is one of the most remote and most extreme regions of the world - it is the lowest point in Africa (- 155 metres/-550 ft below sea level) and one of the hottest places on Earth.

Ahmed Ela, Ethiopia - February 10, 2011: A mid-aged western tourist is showing images of his camera display to a group of local children.

Asmara, Eritrea – Mai 13, 2011: View of Asmara, the capital city of Eritrea, from the bell tower of the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary or The cathedral. It is a Roman Catholic church of Lombard Romanesque style built in 1923. Asmara is located in a high plateau, part of the Great Rift Valley, at 2,325 m. Asmara is famous for its laid back atmosphere and its well-preserved modernist and art-deco architecture of churches, synagogues, cafes and public buildings inherited from its period under Italian colonial rule. In 1939 over 50,000 Italian nationals lived in the city that was known as “Little Rome”. Today more than 400 buildings of Italian origin remain. In 2017, Asmara was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site as an exceptional example of early modernist urbanism applied in an African context.
