Description:
Looking across the Sobat River towards a dry season cattle camp on the far bank, with numerous hut roofs visible, surrounding the cattle who are kept mainly in the central area.
Camps were made on the river bank towards the end of the dry season when water became scarce.
This image may well be of Yakwach camp on the Sobat river where Evans-Pritchard spent 3 months in 1931 among the Lou Nuer.
