This is the main gate in Harar that gives access to the center of the old city. Many people don’t know this but Harar is the 4th holiest city for muslims after Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem. The city is one of the most interesting cities to me in terms of the people and the interactions […]

The Victoria Falls Gorge
This picture of the gorge at the Victoria Falls is taken from the Zimambwe side of the falls. Many people don’t know this but the best views of the falls are actually on the Zim side, not the Zambia side. You can see most of the gorge and the falls from the Zimambwe side while […]
