Their houses are very small and made of mud, cow droppings and straw.
Their civilazation is so different from ours.

Nice picture. I love how the red just brightens up the whole picture. My uncle lives in kenya, so I get to learn about them alot. I hope to go over there some time.

I love the title, the fairy tale quality it brings here. But I also love the fact how real this is. No posing, it's a piece of life from such a different culture. It's always exciting to experience something new through photographs. Here I like the simple colours and the composition. How he just is there, as himself, and makes me wonder what he's thinking. Really nice work.
