the northern Highlands are very beautiful, the southern lush farmlands and savanna are also nice if you can find pictures of them. The areas with lakes like Ambo, Chamo, Langano, Zway etc. are picturesque.

Alot of great pictures are possible from Ethiopia. very photogenic place

Dallol salt springs - This is apparently the only place in the world where you can see this.




Erta Ale Volcano - it has a permanent lava lake you can visit







Salt lake - Lake Karum (also called Assale - different from Djibouti's Lake Assale)

I'm sorry with the wild variation in sizes. It's extremely hard to find pictures of Ethiopia so I gotta take what I find.

Hot spring near lake




Sanetti Plateau - Bale Mountains - South. It may not look like it, but this is at 4000 m elevation!





More angles of Sof Omar cave - South








Rift Valley lakes Abaya and Chamo separated by the Bridge of God. They are extremely different, one is a foggy, mysterious lake, the other is bright with lots of hot springs and a white sandy beach. - South





Gumarre Forrest - West





Danakil Depression - North east (where Dallol and Erta Ale are) - desert that's described as Moon-like because there's no life whatsoever, just minerals.
