Not very far from Kunene river and falls (Namibia and Angola natural border) I visited a small Himba village, where I met this lad. Perhaps the only male presence since the men were searching for a lost boy in the bush. I have lots of shots with these beautiful women, dancing, caring after their babies, making their hair etc. / And this one, a classic portrait, under the burning sun. Shot on August 18th 2006, with a Nikon D200, Nikkor VR 18-200
