    Tis Abay

    October 20, 2022 in Ethiopia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Tis Abay is the falls of the Blue Nile just downstream from Lake Tana (see another post). This is said to be one of the largest waterfalls in Africa, after Victoria Falls (see another post).
    The 1st picture shows the full width of the falls. I'm here just after the rainy season. So the water level is high. The 2nd picture looks along the length of the largest section of the falls.
    The 3rd and 4th pictures are at a tributary of the Blue Nile, just downstream of the falls. The suspension bridge is over a small gorge which can be seen in the 4th picture. This was taken from the bridge which is more stable than it looks. Even the walkway is solid steel bars. And yes, I did walk out and take the picture!
