Description: 
A dry season cattle camp with cattle and hut roofs just visible. 
As the dry season progressed in about January or February, larger cattle camps with a greater population density would be formed called wec mai. 
This image may well be of a camp on the Nyanding or Sobat rivers where Evans-Pritchard spent time in 1931 among the Lou Nuer.
