Halaba

The Halaba people are one of the many ethnic groups of Ethiopia. They live in the central Highlands of the country. These pictures are in a small village in the region.
The 1st picture is a typical house, and the 2nd picture is a larger look at the village. The 3rd picture is the woman of the house wearing a traditional Halaba hat.
The 4th and 5th pictures are inside the house in the 1st picture. The construction is interesting. I haven't seen this type of roof support. Living is arranged around the outside, while cooking is in the center. The 5th picture is the kitchen storage area on the side opposite the previous picture.
The last picture is the man of the house separating the wheat from the chaff in the old traditional manner, letting the breeze carry away the chaff.Read more
