Pictoral Interlude IV

All that talk of pastoral lands has got me thinking about farming in Namibia.

Picture below: farmers on communal land in north western Namibia. This family was having a huge elephant problem - so we worked with them to build seperate water holes for elephants (near the river bed - where elephants migrate - so basically water pit stops off of elephant highways) and seperate water holes for their cattle.

I dont know; this looks like a paternalistic picture... and its obviously a centralist point of view because like you took the picture with the people all in the *centre* of the photo (except for the one woman who's on the LEFT of the photo.. that's even worse!)
