    Ethiopia - Dorze ethnic group

    The Droze ethnic group is a fairly small group living in southern Ethiopia. They are associated with the "beehive" structures that they live in. They are built quite tall, and over time become shorter and shorter as termites consume the base of the structure.

    Dorze from a line of lion killers. Yes, he does look like a Rastifarian, but is not; but guess where they got the idea. The dreadlocks are meant to look like a lion's mane.

    Dorze Boy - Yes, I know he's dressed in pink. What can I say? Cultural differences....
