Many thanks for viewing and rating + comments/suggestions if any.

Another photo from an Himba. Himba women are covering themselves

with a mixture of butter fat, ochre, and herbs to protect themselves

from the sun. The mixture gives their skins a reddish tinge. The

mixture symbolizes earth's rich red color and the blood that

symbolizes life. Women braid each others hair and cover it in their

ochre mixture. For more info --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himba
