As you see the sun rise over the shores of Lac Abbé, you might think you are not on the earth anymore: the landscape unfolding before your eyes is unlike any other.
Unfortunately, unreliability of several people caused us to leave late from Djibouti town. On the way to the south west, we crossed the two desert plains of Petit and Grand Barra, ancient lakes that have now become enormous dry plains. The drive further south of Dikhil was getting always more beautiful as we saw the sun sink behind the horizon, but we drove the last part of our way to Lac Abbé in darkness. The next morning, we were very eager to see the place we had arrived in. After a very early start, we waited in the plain off the shore of the lake for the sun to rise. When it did, we were amazed. As the sun was lifting the curtain over the landscape, enormous pointy shadows appeared all around us.
