Always looks your best... even in the mountains and the fields.
Every trekker through the wonderful Simien Mountain's national park must be accompanied by at least a guard or 'scout' who tends to stay behind and watch over things. Carrying what looked like an unloaded Ak-47 for some reason and dressed in a suit jacket, our older-aged scout was much more effective at coughing and wheezing his way though the canyon laden landscape than being of any practical benefit to defend us if something were to go weary.

Truthfully I haven't heard of any robberies or other foul play around these parts and I would guess that mandatory scouts are being used as a local community builder and job creator for the relatively impoverished people of the highlands. Nevertheless his services weren't expensive and you're helping the local community while getting the wonderful opportunity to hike this beautiful land and take the occasional photo with him in it.

Peering over into the volcanic lake of the Erta Ale Volcano
Early morning at the active Erta Ale volcano, in north-eastern Ethiopia within the Danakil Depression, the hottest place on Earth and the third lowest point. By this time the lava lake below was significantly less active and far cooler than a few hours prior when it was bubbling and exploding all over.

Stop, Watch, Take it all In
A chance to take in the amazing scenery at the high-altitude Pastoruri Glacier in Peru.

From Wikipedia:

The glacier is around 8 square kilometres (3.1 sq mi) in size, and around 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) long with a terrestrial snout ending.[1] The glacier is currently retreating quickly. It has lost 22% of its size and 15.5% of its ice mass in the last 30-35 years.[2]

The glacier occupies an Andean peak around 5,250 metres (17,200 feet) above sea level, and so has steep, cliff like edges, with heavily crevassed areas characteristic of a cirque glacier.[1]

The area and the glacier is usually covered in soft snow and is a popular area with tourists, snowboarders and ice climbers.

One of my favourite parts of taking a Sri Lankan train is that they leave the entrance and exit doors unlocked and open. Sri Lankans and tourists alike, especially in very scenic areas like the hill country, hold on while hanging out the door admiring the view and the wind in their face.
