13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Market day in Chencha village, Ethiopia

I visited the hillside village of Chencha in Ethiopia, on a busy market day. I took this photo of a large group of women sitting around. It was so colorful, busy and chaotic and quite overwhelming initially. Storm clouds were looming above us and I got soaked by the downpour shortly after taking this shot.
