Sharing Bob Marley in the Simien Mountains

Our personal guide and armed militia scouts gather for warmth at our campsite in Gich Village, high atop the Simien Mountains in Ethiopia. Old AK-47s are stacked to the left as one scout plays Bob Marley's "Stir it Up" on his mobile phone as others listen. In the midst of such a brutal, rugged and cold environment, joy and warmth swept over the campsite. I quickly and quietly dug through my hiking pack for my camera to capture this wonderful and fleeting experience.
