All The Himba Ladies

(with apologies to) Beyonce 2009

This one's for G, since we passed them by them on the last day for a surreal hour popping up Robert Mugabe Avenue, being stopped to hear about the forgotten Namibian children of the DDR (in German) who needed our money for some kind of accommodation and winding up with a fabulous (in joke) wee walk round House of Parliament Gardens.
First spotted on day one in the supermarket in Windhoek and later in the car park holding hands with an Addidas clad boyfriend and talking on a mobile phone, traditional Himba ladies popped up occasionally in the most unlikely of places. I spotted these from a distance, sitting at the back of the museum in Swakop. I confess this is a naughty jumpoutfrombehindatree shot. Had to be done. Again, not the best shot of the day but the right blip to be covering a as many sights of Namibia as possible.
