On Lake Tana

Lake Tana is the largest lake in Ethiopia and is the source of the Blue Nile. This is said to be a crater lake, formed in an extinct volcano.
The 1st 2 pictures look at the approach to and the point where the Blue Nile leaves the lake. This is behind an island that is shown in the 3rd and 4th pictures. You can see a traditional papyrus boat and several fisherman using these boats with said island in the background.
The next 2 pictures are wildlife. The 5th is hippos in the water. There is a calf hidden in there. The 6th is an African Fish Eagle.
The next picture shows 2 island out in the lake. The one to the left has a convent; while the one on the right has a monastery.
