Herder and herds near Arusha, Tanzania.
Note the plaid on the herder's shoulders. It is the "African blanket" of "shuka" cloth. This colorful wrap is often worn for warmth and identity by members of the Maasai, pastoralists of East Africa.
I captured this image on the way to our first climb of Kilimanjaro a couple of years ago.
Endless
When looking to the horizon you can understand why the Maasai referred to the this as serengeti, or "endless land."
Lose yourself here in 2025.
I Pity the Leopard
A Masai Warrior is prepared for the dangers of the African night, including the leopard.
Something awful or wonderful
“Something, or something awful or something wonderful was certain to happen on every day in this part of Africa. Every morning when you woke it was as exciting as though you were going to compete in a downhill ski race or drive a bobsled on a fast run. Something, you knew, would happen, and probably before eleven o’clock.”
