They also cover themselves in ash for the same reason which gives them a ghostly appearance as they walk between their animals. As the sun sets in African style the light, smoke and dust create an ethereal atmosphere which makes it appear that the Mundari and their cattle fade into a mist. An ancient mist, trapped in time, where tribal traits and traditions are perpetuated in the twenty first century. In November 2019 we are running an exploratory tour to the Mundari and Dinka cattle camps on the Nile.https://alternativevisions.co.uk/events/south-sudan-cattle-camps-20th-27th-november-2019/ Watch this space for the 2020 Cattle camp photo tour. #mundari #south_sudan #paulsandersphotography phototour #indigenous #african_portraits #igs_africa #africageo #alternativevisions #tribes #1x #humanity_shots_ #smugmug #people_infinity_ #photocrowd #worldcolours_people_ #natgeohumanity #survivalinternational #nikon #earth_portraits #theportraitpr0ject #globe_portraits #ig_respect #streets_storytelling #atlasofhumanity #photos_dailydose #spencer_travel_feature #thepanafrican #great_captures_people #NGTUK Публикация от Trevor Cole (@trevcole) 22 Окт 2019 в 5:10 PDT وقال تريفور: "إن التصوير عند الفجر والغسق مثالي، حيث أن جميع الماشية في مكانها. وكلما تفحصت، أدركت أن هناك رابطا بين القبيلة والماشية. فرك الرماد في جلودها، وتلبية احتياجاتها، واستخدام الحليب والروث والبول. إنهم يجمعون الروث المترسب بين عشية وضحاها وينشرونه على الأرض، وبعضه يستخدم لتغليف قرون الماشية بقشرة من السماد. شاهدنا الأولاد وهم يغمسون رؤوسهم في تدفق بول الماشية، بغرض الاستفادة من مطهر طبيعي وتغيير لون الشعر إلى الأحمر أو حتى الأشقر المبيض".

The way they lead them, rub ash into their skins, attend to their needs, use their milk, dung and urine. It is a symbiotic relationship where there is an understanding of the cattle which goes beyond normal animal husbandry. They take pride in their animals and the whole community of man and beast is interconnected.

The dust and smoke intermingle to create and inimitable atmosphere. We arrived in the late afternoon when the light was soft and warm with long shadows. The tribe have all their wealth in their cattle and there are thousands of them. When young men of the tribe get married the dowry may be as much as 40 cattle. They cover themselves in the ash from their fires to protect against insects. At night they sleep with their cattle to protect them and they carry Kalashnikovs to do so. Cattle rustling is commonplace and is a cause of conflict. The Ankole Watusi cattle have the largest horns (perhaps a metre long in some cases) I have ever seen and the biggest of the cattle may be worth $500. During the day the cattle disperse from the banks of the Nile into the long grasses of the alluvial floodplain. They return at dusk instinctively.

They gather the dung in the morning, dry it by spreading it out and then use it as fuel for their fires. And so this cyclical use of ash continues. The men also shower using the urine of their cattle which acts as an antiseptic and colours their hair orange! These people have a very sustainable existence and their connection with nature should be a message to us all. These ancient practices ensure harmony with the environment and have a small ecological footprint which is local and ensures cultural longevity.
