Description
"Alle warten auf den Braten. Der Baumstamm ist beim Grasbrand angezündet. Obwohl das Feuer bereits ein Loch ganz durch den Stamm gefressen hat, grünt er noch. In der Glut kochten wir Tee und machten einen saftigen Antilopenbraten." ("All wait for the roast meat. The tree caught fire during the last grass fire. Although the fire has burnt already a hole right through the trunk, it is still green. On the embers we cooked tea and made a juicy antilope roast.") Phtograph of men sitting or standing next to a smouldering waddessa tree (cordia africana). In the background next to a truck three persons and a mule are visible. Separate note reading: "Vom letzten Grasbrand her brennt noch der Wadessabaum. Das Feuer hat schon ein Loch durch den ganzen Stamm gefressen […]" ("From the last grass fire the waddessa tree is still burning. The fire has already burnt a hole through the whole trunk [...]"). Photograph taken during Dietrich Waßmann's journey from Ayra to Adis Abeba.
