Photo by @CristinaMittermeier. While on assignment for a body of work on indigenous People and Sacred Ecology, I photographed this Enga woman wearing a headdress made of the feathers of the Ribbon-tailed Astrapia Bird of Paradise at the Mount Hagen “Sing Sing festival” in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. To learn more about the relationship between indigenous cultures and healthy nature follow me @CristinaMittermeier. @natgeocreative #sacredecology #enoughness #naturelover #picoftheday #sonycamera #followme
