#210 Addis Ababa (1) | 埃塞首都剪影

The sad news of Ethiopian Airlines plane crash these days has brought my memory back to my solo trip in Ethiopia.

I flew with the same airline from Sao Paulo of Brazil to the capital of Ethiopia in 2017, and traveled 2 weeks in the country.

So I’m going to share some photos I took there. The one you see in this post was shot at the street of its largest city Addis Ababa.

I walked past a dozen construction sites and was on my way to Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum. The owner of the guest house where I stayed suggested that I visit this place.

It was late afternoon. The lazy sun was hanging low in the sky. A warm shade was cast on the enormous overpass, vehicles, pedestrians and the shining wet ground. Heavy traffic, fumes and noises.

I stopped at the red light. 2 Muslim ladies in headscarf were crossing the wide road in that perfect lighting. As a photography enthusiast, I just couldn’t help capturing this moment. :)

A bit to the left (you can see Ethiopian Airlines' logo at the top right corner):

这几天不断看到埃塞俄比亚航空波音737失事惨剧的最新消息，不幸遇难的同胞中还有个在埃塞转机，打算去肯尼亚毕业旅行的浙江女生。让我想起自己一年多前也是坐着同一航司的飞机从巴西的圣保罗飞到埃国首都，开始独闯非洲，不禁唏嘘。

以前写过篇首都机场惊魂记，发过几张在埃塞俄比亚南部原始部落里拍的照片，这次的两张拍于首都亚的斯亚贝巴街头。斜阳夕照，立交桥、高楼、行人、车流、积水的路面...... 都被笼上一层暖雾。噪音、尾气、右上方的埃航标志、不远处的工地和我的目的地 —— 红色恐怖殉难者纪念馆（客栈老板建议我去那里了解下他们国家这段惨痛的历史）...... 我在红灯的路口停下脚步，两名裹着头巾的穆斯林女士快步穿过大马路，几乎完美的光影瞬间。
