Portrait of a Himba woman

Taken in a traditional Himba kraal in northern Namibia. The Himba people are cattle herders who stick to the traditional ways with their unique jewelry and hairdos.

    I love the warm smile on her face, and the fact that this shows details of the elaborate hair styling and neck ornamentation the women were all wearing.
