Landscape in Lasta highland around Lalibela, the so called "Jerusalem of Africa", where people live at an altitude between 2.500 m and 3.500 m. Like centuries ago, they still grow Teff (sorghum) and barley while keeping cattle and living in small settlements in harmony with the natural environment.
