A Desert Mirage
In Kaokoland, the Himba, a nomadic tribe, thrives in adversity. From a distance, like desert mirages, adorned with ochre, they radiate a copper hue.Winds sweep sands, creating a surreal scene. Sand dunes bestow an almost dreamlike quality. Amidst gusts, the question lingers: dream or reality?
