Nuer village on the flood plains of the Nile, southern Sudan 🇸🇩 📸: @geosteinmetz // For millenia the Nilotic peoples of southern Sudan have followed annual flood cycles of the Nile with their cattle. At the peak of the wet season, the areas studed with palm trees are islands. The onion-shaped buildings at lower left are cattle barns, where the Nuer shelter their cattle at night with dung fires burning inside to keep the clouds of mosquitos away.
