Description:
Several Mandari men and youths at a cattle camp look towards Buxton as she takes a shot.
They are standing beside a large ash pile where smoky dung fires are lit at night to keep pests away, as well as to provide warmth, with some younger people sleeping close to the cattle.
A number of tethering ropes can be seen slung over a dead tree trunk, on which a youth is sitting.
