EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a typical rural scene between Ziway and Butajira in Ethiopia, showcasing the age-old tradition of donkeys trampling corn to remove the precious grain. In this indigenous African setting, farmers rely on ponies, donkeys, or oxen depending on their availability for this crucial task. The image showcases a thatched hut nestled amidst vast farm lands, symbolizing the shelter and livelihoods that depend on farming in this region. The farmer's humble abode stands as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of African communities engaged in subsistence agriculture. With great precision and care, the donkeys crush the harvested corn under their hooves while surrounded by an abundance of crops. This traditional method is deeply rooted in Ethiopian culture and Shewa Province's agricultural practices. It reflects not only their deep connection with nature but also their commitment to preserving African farming traditions. Through this photograph, we are transported into a world where ancient customs intertwine with modern realities. It serves as a reminder of Africa's rich agricultural heritage and its reliance on sustainable farming methods passed down through generations. Discover Images by AWL beautifully encapsulates the essence of Ethiopian farming life - from thatched houses dotting expansive farmlands to hardworking farmers utilizing traditional techniques like corn trampling with donkeys. This powerful visual narrative celebrates both African culture and its profound relationship with agriculture while shedding light on subsistence farming practices still prevalent today.
