Highland Huts, a photo from Thaba-Tseka, North

Photographer's Note

In the mountains of Lesotho, this round rock and thatch building style is the typical house. The rocks in the foreground form the walls of a sheep pen. Coal or wood is used to heat the homes, and hardly any have electricity (the ones that do are solar powered). Here is a view of Bobete village, which is around 7,100 feet in elevation.

Hello Daniel
A very nice view of this unique location and one which I certainly haven't seen before on TE. I am surprised that 362 people have viewed this photo without commenting. The late afternoon light is good and the colourful clothes hung out to dry add interest. Tfs, Marlene
