- THE HIMBA WOMAN
- field_caption
- Himba ethnic group, who have kept their ethnic individuality and culture in the seclusion of Kaokoland. The Himba are a pastoral people. Clothes, hairstyle and jewellery are all of particular significance to the Himba and are part of their tradition and culture. The proud Himba women take several hours for beauty care every morning. The entire body is rubbed with a cream, which consists of rancid butterfat and ochre powder. The aromatic resin of the Omuzumba bush is added as well. The cream lends the body an intense reddish shine, which corresponds to the Himba ideal of beauty.

- Living On A Prayer
- field_caption
- For 15 years, this Tibetan lama lived in a little cave along Namtso Lake. Every evening, he treks the Zhaxi Peninsula, which faces the magnificent Tanggula Mountains, spinning his prayer wheel as he paces. I was fortunate enough to follow him one day, and couldn’t help noticing his sneaker-shod feet. A sign of these modern times, perhaps?
