Photo by @andrea_frazzetta // South Africa, Limpopo province, Night in the Village of Baleni. The Milky Way as seen through the tree branches that overhang the village. The village of Baleni is situated near the banks of the Little Letaba River, on a land belonging to the Mahumani traditional community. Baleni is an environment where nature and spiritualism have a rich integration. To the local salt makers women, the warm water, the rising bubbles and the sulphurous smell that emanates from the swamp are all signs that bind Baleni with the spiritual world. @andrea_frazzetta @instituteartist #Africa #Southafrica
