Visiting one of the churches on Lake Tana, we found it full of people for a celebration full of music and emotion.

And then, precious coffee on our way back.

Returning was somewhat difficult.
After a little sleep, here is one from Oct.30 in Addis Ababa, the night before hitting the road.

There is something in a lens so sharp in center that huge vignetting just is not that important.

And something in the swirly bokeh of a lens only intended to sit on a security CCTV, watching a dark corner.

Here's one from our terrace at 23.55 - with only one light under the rain.

I think I love ISO1600 and a fast prime.
