The Mundari cattle camps, seldom visited by outsiders, are quite simply incredible. The dust and smoke intermingle to create an inimitable atmosphere. The tribe have all their wealth in their cattle and there are thousands of them. As the sun sets in African style the light, smoke and dust create an ethereal atmosphere which makes it appear that the Mundari and their cattle fade into a mist. An ancient mist, trapped in time, where tribal traits and traditions are perpetuated in the twenty first century.

Biography
Trevor Cole was born in the City of Derry, but has lived most of his life outside the bounds of Ireland; in England, Singapore, Togo, Italy, Ethiopia and Brazil.
"Capturing inimitable moments today to reflect upon tomorrow. My own 'take' as a geographer photographer!" His photography, together with travel, has become two of his lifes passions. His photography focuses predominantly on culture and landscapes; images which reflect a spatial and temporal journey through life and which try to convey a need to live in a more sustainable world.
