Nice photos as always! Would be interested to hear why the trip was so tough (just curious).
Also, what is the string of numbers and characters that appear at the bottom of your posts, some kind of code?
Lastly, your thumbnail photo isn't your first photo. What is this sorcery!? (And how can I also do it?)

Thanks, not something I'm willing to disclose at this point.

The characters put my blog onto the @steemitworldmap, see their comment above. Changing thumbnails is an advanced editing feature of steempeak.

So changing thumbnails is a feature I could get, if I bought a bunch more STEEM? A perk for investors?

EDIT: It appears I'm already able to do so, but not in a controlled way. My latest post's thumbnail is the 2nd photo in the post, although I want it to be the first.

If you're using steempeak.com, you just edit the post, click advanced, then at the bottom choose your 'cover image'.

WoW...They really are breathtaking views from up on that mountain and those eucalyptus trees are a long way from home did they come with some Aussie Koala Bears...lol..and that Emperor Dawit Cave is amazing i couldn't image how many man hours when in chiseling that out.

Well i hope you had a safe flight and are enjoying in the USA 👍

Thanks, much appreciated. One things the Ethiopians loved was to carve their churches out of rock.

Definitely amazing work by them Ethiopians and a lot of patience 👍
