Going Solo in Remote Ethiopia
Well, maybe not exactly solo. There's the driver. And the young man with a gun you need to hire in each town. Jackie Garvey's incredible photos illustrate this one-of-a-kind journey to an isolated corner of Africa. She found rough travel conditions but warm and beautiful people living in a tough and often dangerous part of the world.
