Maasai

The Maasai are known for their physical beauty—not just their lithe, graceful physiques but for their unique garb and body ornamentation. They do jump so high though ;)

A photo of a tree in Amboseli National Park, Kenya, East Africa. When the wanderlust takes hold this is the type of tree you will see in the grasslands on safari. Imagine the blue sky, the lone green tree and earthy tones in arid landscape. For fans of travel, exotic trees, botanicals and nature photography.

Maasai (or Masai) Giraffes, Giraffa camelopardalis tippelskirchi. Males Necking. Male giraffes often engage in necking, which can be to prove dominance or it can be sexual. They swing their necks in huge arcs using their heads as rattering rams. In young males such as these it is common for the winner of the battle to mount the other to show his sexual dominance. In real battles a giraffe can land a powerful blow with his head occasionally knocking a male opponent down. Canon 500D, zoom lens. (Featured in Love These Creatures, & Other Groups.)

I made this because I love the proportions being out of balance but still somehow looking 'right.' Influenced by the Maasai people and their insane ability to jump up to 3' vertically, which I cannot do and frankly can barely jump 2" vertically.

A young Maasai (Masai) child is little unsure about the strangers in her village. In many ways the Masai have managed to retain their traditional culture, though children are now expected to go to government schools, & pressures have been put on their society by land laws & National Parks rules, however they maily dress in traditional clothing & jewellery & practice a rural lifestyle centred on cattle. Men and boys look after the cattle and women do everything else, including building the houses!!!! The Maasai live in Kenya and Tanzania, East Africa. Photographed in Tanzania. Canon 500D, zoom lens.
