The cattle or my life! by

You don’t want to play with these guys. These Mursi men live with their cattle day and night, ‘everbody’ has a gun, like the latest fashion, smuggled from Kenia.This men wears the traditional ‘jewelry’ of his cattle. It’s for them the most important thing and he and his men did not give me permission to make some photo’s of his beautifull shaved cows.Unless i paid way to much money. So that was a no, but i was very tempted cause the cows where absolutely beautifull. Omo Valley National park, Ethiopia.
