Chelelektu

Located within the Woreda Kochere, in the Yirgacheffe Zone, lies the Kebele Chelelektu. The washing station here is a great example of the signature Ethiopian look: a rich colourful rainbow of earth, trees, sky, coffee cherries, homes and people that all move and fold with the land. The raised drying beds are enclosed by a wooden fence that tightly seals it off from the overgrowth of the native forest outside but does not completely shield the view of the sunlight as it plays through the tall, thick leaves that extend upwards to create a glowing Pantone chart of green.
