Beads

I debated which shot to include this day. There were so many. I actually liked this one very much Guards from afar

But in the end I chose this woman. The beads and the colouring and the hair - It is such a different way of life! I cannot even begin to tell you much about the tradition behind because we were concentrating so much on the small gardens that were growing near the river in an otherwise arid and desolate landscape.

But the women are loaded with these beads...and it is up to 34 degrees and more during the day and not much better at night...how do they wear them all the time?

I am still at a loss as to how people remain resilient and happy in such conditions....
