Made of cattle dung and straw and plastered in a kind of wattle and daub way. These huts don't smell but neither are they lived in. The tribes people take groups of tourists around but there is an air of abandonment inside and when one see a bunch of yale type keys hanging from a necklace - well - all the clues are there. The kids here appear to be searching for something. The one in the green top is actually looking at a poece of litter which I cloned out - that was silly of me wasn't it!

The kids seem curious as to what these huts are for and your comments explain what we are looking at... so we the viewer are as much a visitor to the Masai village as the children seem to be. The detailing and the clarity of that detailing makes for an interesting visual trip. And those clouds are a plus for me!

Vic, Hi:


Marvelous Daily Life Image with amazing and interesting notes. The construction of the huts and the various colors of the childrems clothing composed an image of marvelous contrast. Beautiful sky, as well.


Very Nicely Done

I love the way you've composed this with the little children meandering rhough this pathway with such delightfully colorful outfits. And yes, you took away that piece of litter that otherwise would have been that young boy's treasure. Naughty of you!!!

Excellent (I'll call it) modified radial composition. Well balanced with nice contrast between the brightly coloured outfits and the otherwise drab
'dwellings.' What kind of places DO they live in then I wonder.. Excellent shot Vic.

Reminds me of a similar village I visited in northeastern South Africa. Unfortunately, these people become so dependent on tourists.

Great shot! Having grown up in Kenya, your pic brings back a lot of warm memories of the beautiful and innocent Massai children.
