One early morning – just after sunup – we visited this small OvaDhimba village. Though the tribes people are similar from one village to the next there are subtle differences. This small village of people seemed more comfortable with morning visiting photographers. Perhaps we were not among the first to visit them.

As we approached the village area we were greeting by this pig family.

And a tribe member also greeted us.

Hair styling for all the tribes people we met seems to be a major concern with much attention paid to it.

The clothing consists of many layers of string or rope wrapped around the waist then lengths of colorful fabric tucked through the string/rope.

Those baby feet showing through at the mom’s waist fascinated me each time I saw it.

The following image shows the way the waist strings/rope are used with the fabric tucked into it. Mornings and evenings were cool; and it looked like most villagers had some blankets to help keep warm.

I am still wondering what this woman was reading and how many tribespeople are literate.

Pounding sorghum and other grains is a perfected art especially when done in rhythm with another person.

I love seeing the children care for the younger ones. So much love.

This was the beginning of some music and dance.
