On the banks of the muddy Omo River, a Mursi child holds a leaf frond which is used as a chair.  This area of Ethiopia is isolated and the boat in the background is the only one on the river during an extensive six-week transect that went from the highlands, the origin of the river, to Kenya where the river flows into Lake Turkana.
