Members live under a tribal structure based on bilateral descent that helps them live in one of the most extreme environments on earth. Every tribe member belongs to two clans: one through the father (a patriclan, called oruzo) and another through the mother (a matriclan, called eanda). Himba clans are led by the eldest male in the clan. Sons live with their father's clan, and when daughters marry, they go to live with the clan of their husband. However, inheritance of wealth does not follow the patriclan but is determined by the matriclan, that is, a son does not inherit his father's cattle but his maternal uncle's instead. Bilateral descent is found among only a few groups in West Africa, India, Australia, Melanesia and Polynesia, and anthropologists consider the system advantageous for groups that live in extreme environments because it allows individuals to rely on two sets of families dispersed over a wide area. Himba women are famous for covering themselves with otjize, a mixture of butter fat and ochre.

Each farm will have a bunch of ‘workers’ as they are called: black men (sometimes with their families) that are housed in simple sheds a few hundred meters from the farmer’s house. Workers make appr. 70 Euros a month and have basically no rights.

- Marrakech, Morocco Marrakech is world-famous for the many souks in the old city centre. However, these markets have been affected by the growth of tourism. This effect is not nearly as strong in peripheral areas, such as the Bab El-Khemis Market, featuring mostly metal workers. I meet this blacksmith just as he is taking a tea and cigarette break. Khalid and his colleague make all kinds of steel household objects, such as oil lamps and parts for these lamps. He explains to me that he deliberately works in a dark room. ‘When you heat iron, it changes colour from red to orange to yellow, and finally to white. The ideal working temperature for us is right between orange and yellow. To be able to see the colours properly, we like to work in a dimly lit room.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223193539-SH94RBHKMHPXMQOVAEWD/mauritius2010_0431thijsheslenfeldA_15_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Mahébourg, Mauritius This man sells meat at the Mahébourg market. His self-assured, stoic demeanour catches my eye. When I take the photograph I don’t have time to have a chat, so I don’t actually find out anything else about him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223176612-3X5Z19E77WEAG9EZS15Q/indonesie2011--2310-thijsheslenfeldA_10_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Slat, Bali, Indonesia Komang Widiantara (25) washes cars in the small village of Slat in the middle of Bali. He works together with seven other people. ‘We wash around eight cars by hand each day and also clean the interiors. I enjoy the work – we’re out all day and meet a lot of people.’ A full car wash costs 25,000 rupiahs – the equivalent of 2 euros. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374224306523-WL9MQIIQVOKO00D4A62J/dubbel13.jpg Men at work - Waterford, Ireland (LEFT) John Walsh (65) is the blind owner of ’11 J. & K. Walsh 11’, an off-licence in the centre of Waterford City. The back of the shop is home to a simple pub with the atmosphere of a 19th-century bar. It has a simple bar, a wall covered with bottles, and a couple of barstools with ripped leather seats. There’s an old black-and-white photograph and a broken mirror on the wall. Everything is old and dilapidated, but at the same time breathtakingly beautiful. Walsh tells me that a disease left him blind 15 years ago. He briefly takes off his glasses: 'See, I’ve got no eyes left.' It’s no wonder the place looks so run down. Walsh probably still remembers it as it was 15 years ago. He has never heard of the internet or e-mail. And, judging by the ashtrays on the bar, the smoking ban implemented in Ireland four years ago has not yet caught on either. He took over the pub from his parents and has done everything on his own ever since. ‘I cook for myself and clean the toilets. What choice do I have? No one else is going to do it for me.’ Hearing his story, I feel positive and sad at the same time. There’s such strength in this bashful man, and yet such loneliness as well. -  (RIGHT) Michael Griffin (74) is a retired butcher. He was born in this house in the centre of Waterford City. He ran his butcher shop here until 1983, when he decided to call it quits to protest Ireland's entry into the EU a couple of years earlier. ‘We always had beautiful Irish beef, but as soon as we joined the EU the frauds and cheats in Brussels put the kibosh on that trade.’ Michael no longer sells meat, but the door to his shop remains open every day. Neighbours and friends like to stop in for a chat. Michael, who never married and still lives above the shop with his brother, loves to talk about horses more than anything else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223207778-FMQW985BDRMXWFSY0F2M/mauritius2010_0493thijsheslenfeldA_113_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Mahébourg, Mauritius Hairdresser Younous Copaul (81) is waiting for the first customer in his hair salon in Mahébourg, Mauritius. Copaul estimates he must have cut the hair of more than 250,000 people since starting his business in 1944. Retirement is not an option, simply because he needs the money. However, he tells me he still enjoys his job. I took the picture in May 2010, just when huge numbers of people took to the streets of Madrid, Paris and Athens to demonstrate against government plans to raise the retirement age. EU statistics show that the average age of retirement in Greece is 61, while in France it is 59.4. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223071556-BIOYOBYNKLVDY0CMQLFX/DUBBEL4.jpg Men at work - Suriname (LEFT) Clyde Weeks is a security guard with the Mining Service Centre (MSC) of the Surinamese government. He’s seated in a chair holding a riot gun, in the middle of the jungle near Merian, where a lot of illegal gold prospectors operate. Suriname has been flooded with these gold diggers, who wreck the forests and pollute the rivers with mercury. The government has been trying to control the problem by establishing a special committee (of which the MSC is a member), but it has had little success so far.  - (RIGHT) Carlo ‘Kaatje’ Demidof (51) is an interesting character. He spent 20 years of his life as an illegal alien in the Netherlands. He was hooked on drugs and hanging around on Rotterdam’s Kruiskade. A few years ago, he decided to kick the habit and move back to his native Suriname. He now lives on the grounds of an old plantation where his ancestors once worked as slaves. The plantation has been transformed into a modern resort. Carlo helps maintain the former slave quarters. He has also set up a small museum that displays all archaeological remains unearthed here in the past few years. Kaatje tells me he is a happy man once again: ‘This is where I want to live and die.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223216399-N0R0AIX1Z5XO91NZPCFX/morrocco2010_0206thijsheslenfeldA_17_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Zarkian Zahir, Morocco Ahmed Zahir (50) is getting ready for a new day at his restaurant in Zarkian Agballu, located in the mountains east of Marrakech. Ahmed has been running his joint for more than 30 years. His most popular dishes are his tagines and couscous. Naturally, his customers also drink many litres of tea a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223027608-ODOTR46WBXNGA3CWFFZD/australia2009_4096thijsheslenfeldA_03_verkleind.jpg Men at work https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223040323-WCGJWEJ6TGEOOVO31BIV/australia2010_0451_thijsheslenfeldA_04_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Wiluna, WA, Australia Malcolm Merchant and his wife run a farm in Wiluna. Their original plan was to grow grapes, but that turned out to be unsuccessful. They were unable to keep the vines alive due to the continued drought. Before embarking on this adventure, Malcolm had collected all the available meteorological data for the past 100 years. He intended to use these as a basis for predicting patterns in rainfall in the Wiluna area. ‘It turned out that the rainfall here was completely unpredictable. Nobody knows when it’s coming, and nobody knows how much will fall. And it’s very local. Sometimes we get nothing at all, while they could be having a 60-minute downpour just 10 kilometres from here.’ To support themselves, Malcolm and his wife now rent out the simple rooms originally intended for grape pickers and other seasonal workers. Their initiative has been successful. People travelling from the extremely isolated Gunbarrel Road, in particular, jump at the chance to sleep in a real bed in an air-conditioned room for the night. Malcolm is a sensitive man. He talks about literature and expressively recites a poem about the beauty of life in the Outback, with tears in his eyes. ‘This poem so perfectly describes the blistering heat of a summer day in this area. The sultriness and the total stillness, with maybe just a hint of a slight breeze. I love it!’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223070418-QR3ZH2DSG6PI4HH950F2/DUBBEL12.jpg Men at work - Australia & Luxembourg (LEFT) Tom Bruce (60) is a sheepshearer and cowboy. He has led a wild and dangerous life. A Vietnam vet, he competed in rodeos for many years back in the United States, where he was also featured as a cowboy in Marlboro ads. He has since settled down in the remote town of Peterborough in South Australia, where he lives on a farm together with his partner, her son, 10 kangaroos and a bunch of cockatoos. Tom believes the Vietnam War changed the course of his life: ‘If it hadn’t been for that war, I would probably own a farm on Kangaroo Island right now and have a wife and children.’ He still thinks about the war every day: ‘It's a part of me – that’s something that will never go away. Fortunately, after 35 years I don’t have nearly as many nightmares as I used to.’ Tom had a drinking problem for many years, but nowadays he can limit his intake to a couple of beers. He’s had a good life: ‘I have no regrets. There’ve been good times and bad times. I did a lot of dangerous things, but things always worked out for the best in the end.’ -  (RIGHT) Driver Jean-François Tournemine (44) is waiting for his boss, a Belgian judge at the European Court of Justice in the Kirchberg district. Jean-François has been doing this job for 20 years, and he still enjoys it. ‘Mostly, you need a lot of patience, as waiting around is part of the job. But I have no problem with that at all.’ Tournemine is not from Luxembourg. He lives right across the border in the French town of Thionville. He drives home every night in his own car. ‘I like that, because it means my work is done for the day!’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223027608-ODOTR46WBXNGA3CWFFZD/australia2009_4096thijsheslenfeldA_03_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Calvert Hills Station, NT, Australia US native Alex Chapple (81) is the eccentric owner of the remote Calvert Hills Station, which he runs together with his daughter Kit (55). A recent heart attack hasn’t stopped him from his daily habit of knocking back 12 cans of beer and smoking 3 packs of Winfield cigarettes. ‘But they’re Ultra Lights, you know – the only brand that lets you experience the taste of paper!' Calvert Hills is a massive cattle station covering more than one million acres and housing 15,000 to 18,000 cows. Although Highway 1 is not too far away, this is still a remote place. You can drive for hours on this gravel road without running into another soul. The nearest petrol station is 200 kilometres away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223261208-IMPK71QKJI3PZ29HMK3Z/morrocco2010_1154thijsheslenfeldA_20_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Marrakech, Morocco Wandering through the souks of Marrakech, I discover an ancient gate that emits a hot smoke. Inside I find this man, Mohammed (I forgot his surname). He works as a fireman in a hammam (public bath house). In the basement of the building, he keeps a large fire going with wood shavings that he arranges to have picked up from local woodworkers. His modest home is located at the top of the firehouse. That’s where I took this portrait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223280569-1VCTIGVV4ECWPWXPHDU5/spitsbergen_2007_thijsheslenfeld0549a_23_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Virgohamna, Spitsbergen Dutchman Ton Pieters is showing a group of tourists around Spitsbergen, a Norwegian archipelago midway between the North Cape and the North Pole. It is known as Europe’s last untouched wilderness. Pieters is carrying a gun, to defend himself and the group against the 3,000-odd polar bears that populate the island – as many as the human population. Their presence means that anyone who ventures off the beaten track outside the small capital city of Longyearbyen must be prepared for an attack at all times. When not employed as a tour guide, Pieters works as a forester for the National Forest Service in the Netherlands. He has been in his job for 40 years. https://thijsheslenfeld.com/blog daily 0.75 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370704797609-0N3XOWWQ3CJC5TOUT6SE/namibia2013-2873-thijsheslenfeldA_202_verkleind.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends https://thijsheslenfeld.com/blog/2024/11/13/my-trip-to-albaniaand-why-i-loved-every-minute monthly 0.5 2024-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/f4a8cc89-c74c-43f0-95ee-4a877bd3ebc3/albania.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - My trip to Albania and why I loved every minute of it - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/78597f93-62ba-447d-b1ef-7915152c30a3/albania3.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - My trip to Albania and why I loved every minute of it - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/0da7d249-3f51-4b38-92fc-69c67bd7712c/albania2.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - My trip to Albania and why I loved every minute of it - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/bbf9f500-6ff4-4eb0-b988-a32cd2368599/albania5.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - My trip to Albania and why I loved every minute of it - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thijsheslenfeld.com/blog/2022/11/13/4imancn9vtqt7xm9vcv5qpvyqkczen monthly 0.5 2022-11-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/0cc62d0c-ef45-4775-a416-ed63e4649173/314351790_10228213394668636_6166266094398048442_n.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - De groene specht - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/dded5576-fa5a-4307-85ba-65488aae7232/314443687_10228213393068596_5457236561909527786_n.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - De groene specht - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://thijsheslenfeld.com/blog/2020/1/27/maxim-februari-amp-thijs-heslenfeld-in-dordrecht monthly 0.5 2020-01-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1580158935671-SQ9WUIUM8GMCFNB9LN74/Untitled-1.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - Bedachtzaamheid meets flapuit https://thijsheslenfeld.com/blog/2019/8/14/538klrvrkwatiwqcw2hhdv9fshc9f4 monthly 0.5 2019-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1565864823067-1RCHOVO650QV19WAHH5H/Heslenfeld-Facebook+8.jpg life begins where the comfort zone ends - Aangifte moet vertaald.

luxuries. I don’t need expensive jeans or restaurants. If I can look after my children as I was able to in Syria, then I am happy. I want my daughters to study. I want to give them everything that is good for them.’ At the entrance to this small camp in the Lebanese Bekaa Valley, a large wedding feast is in full swing. Mohammed apparently doesn’t feel the need to attend. He is sitting with his wife and daughters in front of their tent. When Thijs first sees Mohammed, he is immediately impressed by the tranquillity this man radiates. When I walk up a little later, Mohammed stands up and offers me a seat. He sits down facing me, hides his feet under his clothes and tells his story. This man has a dignity this camp cannot take from him in any way. I think that’s why he seems so at ease as he talks about his sorrow. ‘I am a father. If my child wants something or ask for something I cannot give her, it feels as if my heart is on fire. But if I have no hope, my children have no hope. So if my grandson asks: “Why don’t we live in a house?” Then I say: “ we are only spending the summer here.” I lie to him so that he doesn’t feel sad.’ Mohammed (48), Waleh (20), Isra (15), Sana (20) and Zahra (40) from Al-Raqqah Bekaa Valley, Lebanon From 'anything out of nothing' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446147282666-HKVIZBAW9LJRP4V94Z0E/CNX2_jordania-lebanon_0484thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing ‘When I returned to my birthplace in Jordan, local villagers said: “Hassan, you left here as a normal man. You return as a refugee.”’ While her father Hassan tells the tragic story of their family, I am watching his little daughter Rachad. She is six. No one shows more clearly the coarse arbitrariness that decides if you’re a refugee or not. She’s a little ballerina, so elegant. The cabin she lives in is really quite ugly and yet it’s also very beautiful. Because I see the meticulous care and attention to detail. In the colourful and banquettes on the walls, in the blue curtains, the games in the cupboard, the pile of cuddly toys on top, the brick wall her father is building around the cabin for the winter. Hassan: ‘I grew up in this Jordanian village, Umm el-Jimal. I swam in the pool beside the ruins of the old town. I went to school here. I had all my friends here. Ten years ago I sold my house to go and see my brother in Syria. It was a good decision, at the wrong moment. ‘Our house was finished, the children were born and then the war broke out. I fled with my brother to Umm el-Jimal. We first rented a house. But the owner needed it himself. So I bought this cabin and built a brick wall around it.' ‘It’s good to wait in my old village until the war is over and not in a camp like many Syrians. My children don’t quarrel here because they don't live in a crowded place like Za'atari. They can play outside, the neighbours know their names. My family is free. We used to own a house. Now we may live in a cabin. But at least it is ours.’   Rachad (6) from Dara’a Umm el-Jimal, Jordan   From 'anything out of nothing' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446147492887-5BTH0UYSI645GVHHLW8L/CNX2_jordania-lebanon_0234thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446147286966-DWAL8PCNL6TTSRM0XF9S/CNX2_jordania-lebanon_0258thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing ‘Arabic was my favourite subject. I loved writing beautiful letters. And I often got good marks for it. Then I felt proud. In the coffee house where I now work, I never feel proud.’ You can’t miss Ahmed. Flawless skin. Beautiful green eyes. If you make eye contact, he smiles shyly. But he does not avert his gaze. His story is the story of more and more Syrian children: ‘We needed money. I went to a coffee house here in Beirut and said: ‘Iam Ahmed. I want to work.’ The owner said yes. Now I work from 7 to 7, six days a week.’ ‘In Syria, I went to school. After a day at school I felt happy. Thanks to my friends, my teachers, and thanks to writing. But now at the end of a working day I feel sad. Because I don’t have any friends here. And because I’m not good at anything. Customers shout at me if I’m not quick enough.’ Ahmed’s grandma raises his shirt. He has a red burn on his belly. ‘I dropped some tea.’ ‘When I get home after a day at work, grandma always says: God be with you. Then she washes me. And she makes food for me. After that I feel a little happier.’ Ahmed (9) from Hama Beirut, Lebanon   From 'anything out of nothing' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446727514317-1JPKI7XRJTIXPC6K7SIZ/jordania-lebanon_1017thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446147159277-35DNJD68H9UEFZBKXL87/CNX2_jordania-lebanon_0074thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing ‘I can’t stay strong any longer. I need someone to talk to me, to be with me. I can’t survive on my own.’ During a car journey through the Bekaa Valley we see a tent. All alone, in the middle of a field. It’s striking because almost all Syrian refugees here in Lebanon live in small camps close together. Who wants to live all on their own like this? We knock on the door. Turkye opens the door just a little. She is 25. The same age as me. She has no children and is at home on her own. She hesitates about whether she should let us in. Then she opens the door wide. And tells her story. ‘I have one girlfriend here. She lives further along the road. I see her once a week. I feel very lonely. ‘In Aleppo, I used to get up at six o’clock in the morning. I worked on our family farm, on the land. Every two or three hours we took a break. Then I could shower, relax and we carried on working later. At seven o’clock in the evening, we stopped to eat with the whole family. ‘Now I get up at noon. I clean up a bit. Then I sit around all day. On my own. Until my husband comes back from work. I miss my girlfriend Khadija most of all. I miss laughing, talking and sharing my secrets with her.’ ‘So why do you live so alone?’ ‘I don’t really know.’ Turkye (25) from Aleppo Bekaa Valley, Lebanon From 'anything out of nothing'   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446147228978-PQB0649MGW1UIH3RE3BX/CNX2_jordania-lebanon_0564thijsheslenfeldB.jpg anything out of nothing ‘These are all my photographs from Syria. I framed them in Jordan. The most precious are on the left: my father and mother. But the most beautiful memory is top right: The feast of Eid al-Fitr with my brother Hassan, six years ago. I am very close to him, but he is still in Syria, so I haven’t seen him for three years.’ ‘What did you say to your brother, when you left Syria and didn’t know if you’d ever see him again?’ ‘Well, bye for now!’ Ahmed himself is the first to laugh. Then Thijs dares too. Then his wife Ghada follows. I only dare laugh after that. In the end, his children join in the laughter, even though they don’t know why, and everyone sips their tea and sighs.

But we’re not afraid.’ Suleyman (42) lives with his family in a skilfully constructed tent in Umm el-Jimal, Jordan. He collected plastic and jute sacks which his wife turned into tent cloth. It took no more than a week to finish this neat construction. The tent is spacious, cool and clean. While it is so hot, a tent is much more comfortable than the cabins often used in refugee camps. However, in the winter it’s a different story. And winter is on its way. This tent is not watertight. And it’s a lot more difficult to heat than a cabin. Suleyman is not worried. ‘In the winter, you have to lay plastic sheets under your tent cloth. You make a hole in it to let the smoke escape. That’s basically all. You do need a fire and you have to make your tent watertight. And you shouldn’t complain. Because that's not going to help you.’   Suleyman (42) from Dara'a Umm el-Jimal, Jordan   From 'anything out of nothing' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446149367676-F897EEBTINZ9L4WW3MU4/jordania-lebanon_0082thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1446147275848-WT32ZCW7VFW6RCADQWDT/jordania-lebanon_0962thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing ‘I had ambitions for Nahla. I wanted her to find out everything she was curious about, to get answers to all of her questions. To become whatever she wanted. She was an excellent pupil, her teachers said. Those dreams have evaporated. I can’t read or write so I can’t teach her anything. I wanted her to be better than me.’ That’s what Badrija, Nahla’s mother, tells me about her daughter. Nahla is from Al-Raqqah and now lives with about a hundred others from her old hometown in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. No supervision. No aid organisations. And certainly no school. From the moment I first see Nahla, I feel how much potential she has. She is the first one to approach me. The first to take my arm. The first to smile at me. And when I talk to someone else, she stands there with her arms crossed watching. Almost as if she thinks I’m entertaining.   Nahla (9) from Al-Raqqah Bekaa Valley, Lebanon   From 'anything out of nothing' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1447590166265-W1ZAB724WZC3I11T8XQU/jordan-1418-thijsheslenfeldA.jpg anything out of nothing In one of the two market streets in the vast Al-Za’atari refugee camp, we come across a brand-new restaurant. The owners have use the limited materials at their disposal to create a smart bistro with plenty of atmosphere. Inside, the chef decorates hummus with flowers made of cucumber and carrot skin. His love for his craft is obvious. He entertains us with jokes. And later he proudly shows this photograph of his daughters; Zafirah and Ain are six and seven years old.   He gestures: two hands held together and then against his ear. We think he says they’ve gone to sleep. ‘Sweet!’ we reply. Until we understand that he means: dead. ‘Bashar. Assad.’ Fouad imitates a plane dropping bombs. ‘Mort.’   No one has anything to say.

The eight members of the circus have pitched their simple tent in a Lima slum. The circus performs only in these poor pueblos jóvenes or young towns. ‘That’s all we can afford. Besides, we feel at home here because the people who live here are just like us.’ Milton tells me it’s been a bad year for the circus. ‘Times are tough in Peru. People used to be willing to pay two or three soles for a little entertainment. But things are so bad right now that many families can’t even afford that.’ The circus tours all over Peru. Milton: 'The temperature in the tent must be comfortable. As soon as it gets too cold, people stop coming. That means our entire travel schedule is pretty much based around the seasons. Right now, we need to leave Lima, since it’s June and it’s starting to get too cold over here. It’s time to trek across the Andes, towards the Amazon.’ From the series 'Men at work'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579956238024-MRTJ0E4BDFKF537BRF5T/image-asset.jpeg meet - A worker on a sisal plantation in Tanzania https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1702397136439-SS0NEQR0ZOLDKQJ70GO7/image-asset.jpeg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1702397204762-0XHJTT12GQMAEQZXFN96/image-asset.jpeg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373385737470-7IWBZIQXJ68KIW320MUJ/dakar2013-0910-thijsheslenfeldA_75_verkleind.jpg meet - Mauritania The Amsterdam-Dakar Challenge is quite an adventure.

However, these markets have been affected by the growth of tourism. This effect is not nearly as strong in peripheral areas, such as the Bab El-Khemis Market, featuring mostly metal workers. I meet this blacksmith just as he is taking a tea and cigarette break. Khalid and his colleague make all kinds of steel household objects, such as oil lamps and parts for these lamps. He explains to me that he deliberately works in a dark room. ‘When you heat iron, it changes colour from red to orange to yellow, and finally to white. The ideal working temperature for us is right between orange and yellow. To be able to see the colours properly, we like to work in a dimly lit room.’ From the book 'Men at work'.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373384972198-3WXHYQ488FLB1KP7W73K/australia2009_3331thijsheslenfeldA_45_verkleind.jpg meet - Rabbit Flat Roadhouse, Australia Three aboriginal kids at Rabbit Flat Roadhouse, along the famous Tanami Track in Northern Territory, Australia.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373390652541-SM565U3IP42OGTLK0032/indonesie2011-0429-thijsheslenfeldA_94_verkleind.jpg meet - Komodo Island, Indonesia Over the past two decades I have many Souteast-Asian countries seen changing rapidly, losing a lot of their identity.

He now lives on the grounds of an old plantation where his ancestors once worked as slaves. The plantation has been transformed into a modern resort. Carlo helps maintain the former slave quarters. He has also set up a small museum that displays all archaeological remains unearthed here in the past few years. Kaatje tells me he is a happy man once again: ‘This is where I want to live and die.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373386559527-1Z0BN5PR2EIVWXLKK5T8/indonesie2011--2310-thijsheslenfeldA_10_verkleind.jpg meet - Bali, Indonesia Komang Widiantara (25) washes cars in the small village of Slat in the centre of Bali. He works together with seven other people. ‘We wash around eight cars by hand each day and also clean the interiors. I enjoy the work – we’re out all day and meet a lot of people.’ A full car wash costs 25,000 rupiahs – the equivalent of 2 euros. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579956196234-NXI96DJSG46WG1S3DC6W/image-asset.jpeg meet - Workers on a teak plantation in Northern Ghana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373876650942-L4YEX0PTCCYQU7MHZQPX/suriname2011-1622thijsheslenfeldA_140_verkleind.jpg meet - Apoera, Suriname An indian girl in the town of Apoera, on the border with Guyana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373391591220-IJMV5599JSTUR8G5O64U/mauritius2010_0493thijsheslenfeldA_113_verkleind.jpg meet - Mahébourg, Mauritius Hairdresser Younous Copaul (81) is waiting for the first customer in his hair salon in Mahébourg, Mauritius. Copaul estimates he must have cut the hair of more than 250,000 people since starting his business in 1944. Retirement is not an option, simply because he needs the money. However, he tells me he still enjoys his job. I took the picture in May 2010, just when huge numbers of people took to the streets of Madrid, Paris and Athens to demonstrate against government plans to raise the retirement age. EU statistics show that the average age of retirement in Greece is 61, while in France it is 59.4. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373399982535-1MNZFZIAMXZSHTTZJO61/morrocco2010_0206thijsheslenfeldA_17_verkleind.jpg meet - Atlas Mountains, Morocco   Ahmed Zahir (50) is getting ready for a new day at his restaurant in Zarkian Agballu, located in the mountains east of Marrakech.

Tristan lies in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, right between Argentina and South Africa. There is no airport and no harbour: the only way to land her is with a small dingy from ships anchored next to the island. And this can only be done once every 3 or 4 days.. If you're planning to go there, you might want to postpone your visit. A total solar eclipse will pass over the island on 5 December 2048. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373383552517-LRD2LPMU5A05AXK3VL21/australia2010_0451_thijsheslenfeldA_04_verkleind.jpg meet - Wiluna, WA, Australia Malcolm Merchant and his wife run a farm in Wiluna. Their original plan was to grow grapes, but that turned out to be unsuccessful. They were unable to keep the vines alive due to the continued drought. Before embarking on this adventure, Malcolm had collected all the available meteorological data for the past 100 years. He intended to use these as a basis for predicting patterns in rainfall in the Wiluna area. ‘It turned out that the rainfall here was completely unpredictable. Nobody knows when it’s coming, and nobody knows how much will fall. And it’s very local. Sometimes we get nothing at all, while they could be having a 60-minute downpour just 10 kilometres from here.’ To support themselves, Malcolm and his wife now rent out the simple rooms originally intended for grape pickers and other seasonal workers. Their initiative has been successful. People travelling from the extremely isolated Gunbarrel Road, in particular, jump at the chance to sleep in a real bed in an air-conditioned room for the night. Malcolm is a sensitive man. He talks about literature and expressively recites a poem about the beauty of life in the Outback, with tears in his eyes. ‘This poem so perfectly describes the blistering heat of a summer day in this area. The sultriness and the total stillness, with maybe just a hint of a slight breeze. I love it!’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373383096335-K29WFGY3PFMODJK1K3D2/australia2010_0053_thijsheslenfeldA_49_verkleind.jpg meet - Poison Creek, Western Australia I had just chosen a place to camp in the remote outback from Western Australia when suddenly this girl appeared. Beniah Brooks (6) was camping here at Poison Creek with some relatives who take aboriginal kids into the bush to teach them the way of life that most indigenous Australians have now almost completely forgotten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373401310652-SZ65N94DRPEAXY3MTTBF/morrocco2010_0603thijsheslenfeldA_124_verkleind.jpg meet - Merzouga, Morocco Merzouga in the east of Morocco attracts a lot of tourists because it has some spectacular Sahara sanddunes.

A recent heart attack hasn’t stopped him from his daily habit of knocking back 12 cans of beer and smoking 3 packs of Winfield cigarettes. ‘But they’re Ultra Lights, you know – the only brand that lets you experience the taste of paper!' Calvert Hills is a massive cattle station covering more than one million acres and housing 15,000 to 18,000 cows. Although Highway 1 is not too far away, this is still a remote place. You can drive for hours on this gravel road without running into another soul. The nearest petrol station is 200 kilometres away. This is not Alex’s only business – he also owns a citrus farm in California, where he spends half of the year. Alex is a self-confessed ‘Club Med addict’: ‘I’ve been to 41 already and we’ll be going to Mexico soon for number 42.’   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373399482076-NX469ND067AQ6J36SG88/spitsbergen_2007_thijsheslenfeld0549a_23_verkleind.jpg meet Dutchman Ton Pieters is showing a group of tourists around Spitsbergen, a Norwegian archipelago midway between the North Cape and the North Pole. It is known as Europe’s last untouched wilderness. Pieters is carrying a gun, to defend himself and the group against the 3,000-odd polar bears that populate the island – as many as the human population. Their presence means that anyone who ventures off the beaten track outside the small capital city of Longyearbyen must be prepared for an attack at all times. When not employed as a tour guide, Pieters works as a forester for the National Forest Service in the Netherlands. He has been in his job for 40 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1498858756429-VGW959EZFKHHL1X8UW6L/morrocco2010_0578thijsheslenfeldA.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371163854503-UB0YXKB544K5RJMD2CMU/australia_2008_thijsheslenfeld1912a_02_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1375774016797-VI0M0HLC2C66PK9SGVDN/indonesie2011--1473-thijsheslenfeldA_96_verkleind.jpg meet - Bali, Indonesia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370869411876-HCRZF4JCH3S6UJR4BX3D/suriname2011-0158thijsheslenfeldA_128_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579955602327-ROSMIADQED7BX7FUCBC5/image-asset.jpeg meet - Himba woman.

The fact that you need a government permit to travel here in the first place makes things even more difficult. Kelly tells me he is an artist, but for the rest our contact is kind of difficult. A few days later I visit a gallery in the tourist town near Uluru, where my attention is drawn to one specific painting. To my surprise it turns out the beautiful piece of art is painted by Kelly Peterman!   (RIGHT) Tom Bruce (60) is a sheepshearer and cowboy in Peterborough, South Australia. He has led a wild and dangerous life. A Vietnam vet, he competed in rodeos for many years back in the United States, where he was also featured as a cowboy in Marlboro ads. He has since settled down in the remote town of Peterborough, where he lives on a farm together with his partner, her son, 10 kangaroos and a bunch of cockatoos. Tom believes the Vietnam War changed the course of his life: ‘If it hadn’t been for that war, I would probably own a farm on Kangaroo Island right now and have a wife and children.’ He still thinks about the war every day: ‘It's a part of me – that’s something that will never go away. Fortunately, after 35 years I don’t have nearly as many nightmares as I used to.’ Tom had a drinking problem for many years, but nowadays he can limit his intake to a couple of beers. He’s had a good life: ‘I have no regrets. There’ve been good times and bad times. I did a lot of dangerous things, but things always worked out for the best in the end.’ From the series 'Men at work'.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371163862094-R8545JUJ3I3WIV2GY2EC/SWAZI844A_31_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370720541698-4TANDGO6EQIDGGB8Q2BC/Indonesia2012-0899-thijsheslenfeldb_86_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370816683190-UALJKFAA9IB5HJNI9ED1/US20051567_176_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373743850970-05Q4I3PTCOSCZM7WNJRK/test.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371163860950-R9GL39M3UWB1O6O9YWTO/peru-ecuador060A_22_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370869375529-Y8EC88K2VIJXKACZ9RIK/indonesie2011--2069-thijsheslenfeldA_102_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370720555617-SPX2KDBVRIW5DIK65EYK/mauritius2010_1369thijsheslenfeldA_116_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370720528536-MW70SHJ6JD5HN2YDPS2W/CANADA_thijsheslenfeld1079a_67_verkleind.jpg meet https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371163863258-DTPF893FOFJO1DBFTCNM/US20050369A_33_verkleind.jpg meet - State Trooper, Wyoming, USA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371163859827-0RGUPMSCR5XSHTTVYYAV/panamericana-3028-thijsheslenfeldA_21_verkleind.jpg meet https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/51b32572e4b0c02e88c4db98/6582f9127f65e2576bd04634/1703088335688/ meet https://static1.squarespace.com/static/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/51b32572e4b0c02e88c4db98/6582fa20dbc9d96b76699eae/1703088335707/ meet https://thijsheslenfeld.com/daily-life-of-syrian-refugees daily 0.75 2015-10-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1411458950144-P0115D15CDMCEK887APY/jordan-0053-thijsheslenfeldA_005_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Private refugee camp in Al Ramtha, on the Syrian border.

'My mother was feeding the baby and fell asleep. When she woke up, the whole house was on fire already.' The fire started because the family had to use kerosine lamps due to a power cut that had already lasted for days. Rafran's mother and baby sister also suffered severe burns. Shortly after this disaster the family moved into another house. When that was destroyed during a bombardment they fled and crossed the border into Jordan. They are now living in Mafraq. Rafran says she can still hear the sounds of the war, every single day. 'I am still scared'. The scars of her burns did bother at first, but no more: 'I have accepted it.' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898459677-WAU4Q7LUDSJEE9RVQ0DI/jordanie_12_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Every day between 10 and 12 children are born in Zaatari. French Gynecologist sans Frontrieres operate a clinic to assist with pregnancies. But in the camp itself the living conditions for both parents and children are still very basic and sometimes unhygienic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376942342057-Y2W2SEY2WIS2U2SZ58WC/jordanie_063_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Amar (4) in front of the garage that she lives in together with her parents, grandmother, little brother and sister. Amar's father found a job picking fruit in Mafraq and is away all day. Her mother has a hard time raising the children here, and she's expecting another child. 'This is not the place to raise a family. The kids are bored and getting more aggressive every day. But what can I do?' https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898439585-IHW6HRGVG9NFX7EAXF2M/jordanie_5_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Dutch church volunteer Jan Willem Petersen (27) plays with 2 year old Rahami during a visit to a family that found refuge in a garage in Mafraq's outskirts. Rahami's family pays 120 Jordanian Dinar (appr. 150 $) per month for this place. A year ago the price would have been only 20 JD. Rahami's mother Fatma sometimes has to sell her UNHCR food coupons to be able to pay the rent. 'That means we are hungry sometimes. But that's just the way it is. Things will get better sooner or later, Insha'allah. At least we are safe here.' 7 months ago the family was escorted from Aleppo to the border by two fighters from the Free Syrian Army. Just before reaching the border these men were shot and killed in their presence. Fatma is pregnant from her 4th child and will deliver within 4 months. She hopes that by then she can get access to a hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898468698-4I01V35CESTLPSLOZGBN/jordanie_16_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees A refugee shows an image of Syrian leader Assad (or 'Bashar' as they call him here) dressed as a woman, expressing his hate towards the Syrian dictator. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898444527-QIAK6SOEUJ5509MU10VP/jordanie_7_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Things go fast in Zaatari refugee camp. When the camp opened a little over 1,5 years ago people were completely dependent on aid. Now there is an estimated 3.000 shops in this huge camp, varying from this tv-store to the mother of a family selling some sweets in front of her tent. Zaatari has restaurants, coffee shops, icecream parlours, hairdressers and of course lots of shops selling phones and phone cards. Most of the shops are concentrated on the main street, renamed 'Champs Elysees' by the French hospital located at the entrance of the camp. The residents of Al-Za'atari call it their 'Main Street' or 'Shopping street'. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898437846-TDDD8NREH5OKNELRRHMT/jordanie_3_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees A volunteer from the Christian & Missionary Alliance Church in Mafraq digs through piles of cushions and sheets stashed in a warehouse to distribute to newly arrived refugees. The local church supports 400 of the 5000 Syrian families that live in Mafraq, and visits them personally every once in a while. Mafraq probably houses about 35.000 refugees by now, but up until this day the big NGO’s seem to focus completely on the Za’atari refugee camp 10 kilometers out of town. UNHCR considers setting up an Urban Refugee Program and plans to open an office in Mafraq within a month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898453349-2DFTEVJOW8O0MBV9B4KD/jordanie_9_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Zaatari's inhabitants take care of themselves a bit more every day, but bread is one of the things they need from the outside. Every day half a million pieces of bread are being distributed amongst the 116.000 inhabitants of the camp. Jordan has a long history of heavily subsidizing bread, making it so cheap that there's hardly any chance that the Syrian's themselves will find a way to make the bread business worthwhile.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376910350108-7PQRI2JBVRZCXRMQ21OT/jordanie_223_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Theft is a major problem in Zaatari. Sanitary blocks like this one can simply disappear overnight. The people are constantly on the lookout for things they can use to make their own quarters a little bit more comfortable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898450333-1E9RLK3947YVF0LYHJDM/jordanie_8_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees As soon as refugees started arriving in Zaatari, they started siphoning of electricity from the main power cables. During the cold winters heating is essential; in summer months temperatures rise above 40 degrees and living without a ventilator is almost impossible. By now you will find hundreds of kilometres of wiring all over the camp, sometimes dug in, sometimes just open on te ground where children play. In summer this is not causing too much danger, but Zaatari's inhabitants realise things could turn nasty when the rains set in this autumn.. This boy is helping his father with the wiring from their tent all the way to the main cable. To connect the wire to the cable, they have to hire somebody that will do the dangerous and illegal job at night.   The UNHCR is working on plans to get the electricity business better organised, with metering and prepaid cards. That could make things safer and it will eliminate the local maffia that now controls parts of this business.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1411459374886-2E6IW5TPNPQNGLH1BVIN/jordan-1388-thijsheslenfeldA_196_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees A shopowner in Za'atari refugee camp show an image of a friend who was killed in the war https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898469578-GKSULTO06CH41UKEPYS7/jordanie_15_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees This man is another example of succesfull enterpreneurship; his restaurant has its own water supply, meaning that customers can even wash their hands before and after their meals. Every day a 100 chicken are being grilled and served here; the quality of the food is so good that he even gets some of the more courageous UNHCR staff in as his customers. Building material is very hard to get, so people have to be very inventive. The desk imaged here is built from wood panels meant for flooring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376911680426-LWSKFTRLE5KZ3D7PWSVS/jordanie_149_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees The first private garage in Zaatari popped up this week.

Many refugees are from illiterate areas. They either need their children to help generating some income, or let them assist with daily tasks like picking up the bread at the distribution centre of the World Food Program. Every morning there are hundreds of kids carrying the bread to their tents and caravans. Some swap a piece of bread for a cup of sweet candycream, some of them are hungry and start eating the bread as soon as they get it.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898457329-HWHQC514R3BL6AZCGZ1Z/jordanie_11_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees The influx of refugees is a volatile and uncontrollable thing. During the worst moments more than 3.000 people arrived every single day. By now between 50 and 200 people arrive daily. But many residents also leave to either Mafraq, another city, or back into Syria. This old man arrived late at night together with a group of 50 refugees. Now that things are not as hectic any more, reception of the people has become a bit more civilised; with water and tea waiting for them.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1376898461155-JJ9H3JVWK3VP821JPHDJ/jordanie_13_thijsheslenfeld.jpg Daily life of Syrian refugees Business are thriving in Zaatari's main street or 'Champs Elysees', and people use anything available to build their shops and restaurants.

Both the Indonesian and Malaysian parts of Borneo have suffered greatly from commercial logging. But Brunei is filthy rich because of the oil found here (they even call it the 'Shellfare state'), so there was never any need to start logging. Although pretty small, Temburong National Park is a great place to see a sunrise from the canopy, with plenty of wildlife around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1690624417604-NLNVPKANPNJU0IAKNIB6/image-asset.jpeg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579956453852-DVX49ESLY8LSOP4L43SU/image-asset.jpeg breathe - Sisal plantation, Tanzania. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162849012-ZOMWPAKJRSDPGV0LKRVP/suriname2011-0948thijsheslenfeldA_137_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373790591196-O781T4SZZN9YCRBBA9PN/panamericana-1236-thijsheslenfeldA_62_verkleind.jpg breathe - Argentina Many people in Europe think cowboys are a thing of the past. But in countries like the US, Canada and Australia there’s still plenty of them. And in South America, the gaucho lifestyle hasn’t changed much over the past century. This shot of two gauchos I took in Argentina just before crossing the border into Chili, high up in the Andes, during the Volvo Panamericana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1498946534622-25XFYT6W7ISKBZ7YSA1B/CNX2_namibia2017_82thijsheslenfeldB.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579956799358-TG7HGCF7YBF3824NQ7PY/image-asset.jpeg breathe - Hartmann's Valley, Kaokoland, Namibia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1657971682028-0WQBLS8IR8MOMR83RII8/image-asset.jpeg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373482493385-ACWAAB3P0TV5LYDOOG3U/Antarctica_2007_1213a_12_verkleind.jpg breathe - Antarctica https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373476047565-ZY1FVDRBOYOK77G27343/Indonesia2012-1172-thijsheslenfeldb_87_verkleind.jpg breathe - Mapor Island, Indonesia Definitely one of my best sailing trips ever: sailing the wooden Buginese schooner Katharina all the way from Papua to Flores. This is one of the most remote corners of Indonesia, with bounty islands scattered everywhere. Some of the best snorkeling I’ve seen in years too!   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373716481505-S9PHCQJXIH8033DPF4KH/indonesie2011--2275-thijsheslenfeldA_104_verkleind.jpg breathe - Bali, Indonesia When I went to Bali, Indonesia for the first time in 2011 on assignment, frankly I wasn't expecting too much. I had heard too many stories about how great this place was - in my experience that could only mean that by now it had been completely spoilt. I was wrong! I loved Bali from the start till the end. What an incredibly beautiful place, lovely people, spectacular food. Check out this view that I enjoyed over breakfast: unforgettable. Wanna know where it is? I'm not sharing it here, but if you drop me a note, I'm happy to tell you where to go! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373474833568-O1EJVIZAC6TFZDEKW8UD/Ant2417_08_verkleind.jpg breathe - Paradise Bay, Antarctica A sailing trip to Antarctica is a lifechanging experience, even more so on board Dutch barque Europa (check those guys out here!). Here I got the inspiration for my first photobook ‘Cold’. I took this shot in Paradise Bay, on a bright and sunny day. It has been published as a 2 page spread in more than 10 magazines worldwide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373789651966-8JB2KI6OFRMOA97YOIJD/panamericana-2098-thijsheslenfeldA_68_verkleind2.jpg breathe - Bolivia Another great adventure: the Volvo Panamericana. Driving 100 classical Volvo’s all the way through South America, 17.000 km’s from Ushuaia, Argentina to Cartagena, Colombia. I joined the trip to shoot for a book to be published on this epic journey. I took this shot just after we crossed the 4000 meter high border between Peru and Bolivia, high up in the Andes. This beautiful Volvo P1800 had given up here, but was to be recovered in time, and made it to Colombia in the end. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373714847258-KNE0KUROMKDQX4KMF4IS/australia2010_1506_thijsheslenfeldB_57_verkleind.jpg breathe - Great Central Road, Australia After driving the endless Great Central Road for 1.200 km’s finally the beautiful Olga’s - near Uluru - came in sight. I decided to camp one more night in the wild in this deserted place, where you can only travel with special permits. Camping all alone in places like this can make me feel like I’m the only human being in the whole wide world. And that can be either scary or great, or both. In my book 'Hot' I shared a 10.000 kilometer trip like this, all the way through Australia's red centre on my own.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373719011690-O5PRN3S36NYQF4AKTPIX/suriname2011-3312thijsheslenfeldA_154_verkleind.jpg breathe - Awarradam, Suriname https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373484419214-Z13Y3KLHK34CZ7CD9MVA/Antarctica_2007_5909a_29_verkleind.jpg breathe - Drake Passage, Antarctica Sailing to to the Antarctic Peninsula from South America, there is always the Drake Passage to cross. That means 4 days of tough sailing, the wind and the water getting colder and colder. And with a bit of luck, you'll be treated with a real storm like this one. These waves are HUGE, check out the albatross sailing in the wind not far from the centre of this picture. His wingspan of 2 metres puts everything perfectly in perspective... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373718765851-R11DTGKBHLIRLAVQEK6Z/suriname2011-3423thijsheslenfeldA-2_156_verkleind.jpg breathe - Awarradam, Suriname Blessi Koese (11) enjoying himself in a rapid in the Gran Rio River, near Awarradam.

Visiting South Georgia on board the barque Europa was spectacular. Not only because of the incredible wildlife here, but also because I have always remembered the name of this island ever since the Falkland war started here back in 1982. The first Argentinian soldier that was killed during this war, died on South Georgia. His grave is now in a small graveyard in Grytviken, almost next to the grave of famous British polar explorer Ernest Shackleton. Speaking of which: South Georgia is where Shackleton's famous journey on the James Caird ended in 1916. A spectacular story well known to each and everyone in the UK. Check it out here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373713452876-VATTLB266GYISJ0VLC6A/australia2009_0280thijsheslenfeldA_35_verkleind.jpg breathe - Sturt Stony Desert, South Australia Ruined tyres are the most common sign of human life in the outback.

I think Mauritius is the most attractive of those three, because the island has kept his own identity, despite tourism. There are still plenty of local markets and the beach is accessible for everybody (by law!) - making this place more than just a few incredible beaches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370721690941-M8TESV0LVP7W6185Z9QV/australia2009_4157thijsheslenfeldA_48_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162466837-BZI8R92YIW4NFINOUGQ9/morrocco2010_1220thijsheslenfeldA_130_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162051805-I4RWH93VJCU4ZL3JXWQO/Antarctica_2007_0886a_11_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1375775004737-J62J2WHREKL6CEXN7UUK/panamericana-0847-thijsheslenfeldA_59_verkleind.jpg breathe - Chilean-Argentinian border The Volvo Panamaricana brought a 100 classical Dutch Volvo’s from Buenos Aires all the way South to Ushuaia, then up North to Colombia. A hefty 17.000 kilometres. This shot was taken somewhere along the endless border between Chile and Argentina - I can’t even remember which side it was. Quite an adventure this trip.

On most Antarctic trips (even the ones on a sailing vessel) the passengers are pretty well-to-do. But this man, Pascal from Belgium, was not. He worked in roadbuilding. But because he became 'worker of the year' he got 5.000 Euros from his boss, provided that he'd spend it on a holiday. Pascal booked the expensive Antarctica trip and with the money left he bought himself a camera and this impressive parka. I'm not sure if I ever saw somebody enjoying himself so much. Pascal had the time of his life and he was great company. It's been a while, but I never forgot the story that brought him to Antarctica. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162567854-WR2BW69X8Y9ONP7ZSF8Y/peru-ecuador396_81_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162065715-0DU8KLLLYC5ETYMXZEU6/australia2009_2013thijsheslenfeld_43_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162480773-OE4GW3O06EHPBW0CT5MZ/westman-islands_2008_thijsheslenfeld269a_180_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1375778044515-1DRWX90EIRGEEO3NM6YT/panamericana-0712-thijsheslenfeldA_56_verkleind.jpg breathe - Patagonia, Argentina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162464481-AQIB5VZL26RC61BJPT0T/australia2009_3143thijsheslenfeld_44_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1370721708810-AW0IY5XGORGWW5ZQQ6Q6/morrocco2010_0717thijsheslenfeldA_125_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373713936619-2NO84UMP39J9N9X6XN36/australia2009_0893thijsheslenfeld_38_verkleind.jpg breathe - Oodnadatta Track, South Australia The entrance to Nilpinna cattle station on the Oodnadatta Track. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162462589-SF8EPG9LWLWTOP799ITU/australia_2008_thijsheslenfeld2259A_33_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162476804-O6LDO06YAJ96Y19U65W5/westman-islands_2008_thijsheslenfeld167a_179_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162049987-FYPOUEIO8BYCVN1DFNU0/Antarctica_2007_0299a_10_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373884330143-79L1WVKFTH29QP0DLW3Y/spitsbergen_2007_thijsheslenfeld0368a_95_verkleind.jpg breathe - Liefdefjorden, Spitsbergen https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162847287-HYXJF6U8BH6XWNF2QHW4/spitsbergen_2007_thijsheslenfeld0886a_101_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162055289-SCQ8ZVEAKW2Q13SQ0BV8/Antarctica_2007_3293a_21_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1371162057940-WEMYTSEWPG5RE5T0RMAK/Antarctica_2007_5578b_28_verkleind.jpg breathe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1375775805462-AFPTEP7H7U0FKBAX072Y/panamericana-1384-thijsheslenfeldA_63_verkleind.jpg breathe - Atacama Desert, Chile Another shot I took during the Volvo Panamericana.

the first customer in his hair salon in Mahébourg, Mauritius. Copaul estimates he must have cut the hair of more than 250,000 people since starting his business in 1944. Retirement is not an option, simply because he needs the money. However, he tells me he still enjoys his job. I took the picture in May 2010, just when huge numbers of people took to the streets of Madrid, Paris and Athens to demonstrate against government plans to raise the retirement age. EU statistics show that the average age of retirement in Greece is 61, while in France it is 59.4. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1552486546307-FW14TRH857733416HP6I/namibia2015-0677-thijsheslenfeldA.jpg insta Wow! The Himba. In two weeks I will be in #Namibia again. And this year I'm not just going to drive around with guests; I will be spending quite some time on my own in the #bush. This week I decided that I will use at least part of that to visit and photograph the #Himba. I've been so many times in #Namibia now and every now and then I realise how the beauty of the country can kind of fade away in my mind. I guess it’s a kind of inflation of the senses or something; I notice it more often. Maybe it is very normal if you travel as much as I do. I took these photos in 2015 and today I dicovered that I didn't even edit them afterwards; they were just there on my hard drive…never looked at them again. But now I do and I feel: WOW! The beauty of these people, the way in which they live their lives almost exactly the same as they did a hundred years ago. The way they welcome me. We can hardly understand each other, but there is always contact and warmth. And humor. It often seems to me that these people are not bothered by all those things that make our lives so complicated, such as haste, greed and all sorts of nonsensical worries. Perhaps just in one word: fear. I also reread this fascinating BBC article online, about how the Himba have a completely different perception of the world around us. They literally SEE differently and don’t recognise the colours that we see. Anyway, enough reasons to really pay attention to this and that is exactly what I’m planning to do. There’s another good reason for that as well. There are a few major threats lurking for Kaokoland - the area where the Himba live. There are serious plans for a huge dam in the Kunene River and a sea port on the Skeleton Coast, with a rail connection right through the heart of Kaokoland. It is possible that all this beauty will have disappeared in 10 years time. https://thijsheslenfeld.com/wpf daily 0.75 2020-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249185057-9E34I8QIM7KQ13JOF7QI/28.jpg wpf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249185057-9E34I8QIM7KQ13JOF7QI/28.jpg wpf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249205632-ZM5SY3HVODSJBQNTVL8L/1.jpg wpf The impressive mountains in the far North of Kunene dwarf two himba walking home from a visit to a neighbouring village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1580647615809-LHPG570OSNJUT6AMQ549/image-asset.jpeg wpf https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249209252-473I425IB0QNDZE8257M/2.jpg wpf Early morning fog coming in from the Ocean gives the peculiar stone landscape of the Khumib area a fairytale-like atmosphere.

The animal has a wide variety of social behaviors, including a dominance hierarchy, collective foraging, adoption of young by females, and friendship pairings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249226387-8GYDX0CE6NSX6QPG4U8N/8.jpg wpf A young Himba girl in Orupembe. Hairstyle and jewelry play a significant role among the OvaHimba, indicating age and social status within their community. Young girls have two braided plaits extending forward towards the face, often parallel to their eyes, the form of wear showing the patrilineal clan they belong to. The style remains during preadolescence until puberty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249229012-WOKA6DIJ4B0RUUUMS2X4/9.jpg wpf A deserted Himba hut built of mud, dung and branches. Living a semi-nomadic life following their cattle, the Himba may not visit the same area for years. These days it is necessary for them to lock their domed huts because tourists visiting the area started taking objects from these huts, thinking the owners had simply abandoned them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249233357-MUGOH5E4O7FCCN5OUQEK/10.jpg wpf An Angolan giraffe in the Hoanib riverbed during a long drought in the area. All rivers here except the Kunene are ephemeral ; they will only flow for one or two days after intense rain, and this may not happen for years in a row. It is even more rare for a flowing river to make it all the way to the ocean. The riverbeds attract a lot of wildlife because they provide shelter, food and sometimes even water. But this, in turn, also attracts predators. Like other animals, the giraffe have adapted to the dry environment in Kunene. If water is easily available they will drink, but they don’t actually need to and can obtain all the moisture they need from their food. They can often be seen browsing early in the morning when there is still dew to be found on the leaves. These giraffes are also lighter in colour than most other giraffes and turn even more light during droughts, which is most likely an adaptation to better blend into the desert-scape in which they live. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249236565-WVZ186KRVAWDCE8Q46LZ/11.jpg wpf A desert adapted elephant in the Hoanib riverbed. These elephants - now restricted to a few area's in Mali and Namibia - have developed certain adaptations for desert life and have relatively broader feet, longer legs and smaller bodies than other African bush elephants. Adult elephants can survive without water for up to three days at a time and may walk up to 70 kilometers at night to find water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249239144-6P0COCE40OPCRZP2GT18/12.jpg wpf A Himba man in a tiny settlement next to the Khumib riverbed. Most settlements like this are located close to locations where there is water, either from manmade holes in the ground or from natural wells. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249243053-YCARDUVKJ18IVLEPKH3V/13.jpg wpf A Himba woman is cutting branches to build a hut. These domed huts are simply built with a few bent saplings in the ground, bound together with palm leaves or fabric and covered by one or two blankets. The wooden structure stays behind when the inhabitants move on, making it extremely easy for other people that visit the area to build a shelter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249251337-MECJUIHYBR9QL9MJR2ZI/14.jpg wpf Karirii-he lives with a few young children and a couple of goats in a tiny settlement just outside the Hoarusib riverbed. She is not a Himba but a Herero. The Himba are closely related to the Herero and speak the same language; they used to belong to the same tribe until the modern Herero left the area which is now called Kaokoland at the end of the 19th century. The people that stayed behind are now called the Himba and stuck to their old traditions much more than the Herero did. The typical Herero dress that Karirii-he wears is an adaptation of the Victorian-styled dress of the German settlers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249255093-VCJL19US9K7XNY4SFHK1/15.jpg wpf A Himba chief in colourful skirt and jacket smokes a cigarette rolled from a piece of newspaper. The OvaHimba have a very different perception of colors and use four colour names. Zuzu stands for dark shades of blue, red, green and purple; vapa is white and some shades of yellow; buru is some shades of green and blue; and dambu is some other shades of green, red and brown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249260171-S0UZYNH3KMXSLVINHXTB/16.jpg wpf A sick child in a hut next to the Hoarusib riverbed. Although the Namibian government tries to get some basic healthcare deep into this remote region, for many people a visit to the doctor is simply not an option. The only way to get some decent medical care is a visiti to the town of Opuwo, which may take up to 4 days or even more, depending on your luck in finding a vehicle that happens to go there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249264187-D36KVNDAXBBH3HGD0PQA/17.jpg wpf Mountain zebra against the backdrop of the barren landscape of Palmwag. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249267425-F27OZFALQR646G9EVE50/18.jpg wpf A fork-marked sandsnake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249272882-J0SL2EI64504EOS0U3HH/19.jpg wpf Drinking at one of the few permanent waterholes in the desert is a matter of survival for most animals. But it is also a dangerous activity, because predators know that prey animals will eventually turn up wherever there is water to be found. That means that periods of long droughts are bad news for grazers like zebra and springbok, but good news for predators such as lion and hyena. This mountain zebra was ambushed by lion at the Gai-As waterhole. Archeological finds indicate that this waterhole was visited by humans as long ago as the later stone age, many thousands of years ago. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249518646-36HX1UXINRQ6RWNILMV4/20.jpg wpf A few young herdsboys stand at a goat killed only minutes earlier by a leopard. The animal was close to giving labor and didn't stay close enough to the rest of the herd. The risk of such an attack is always imminent in this region; many herdsmen use dogs to prevent this from happening and at night both goats and cows are being kept in corals in the village. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579249521452-SYTBV4C6XBIJ6G4BJTZV/21.jpg wpf A woman in Okandjombo resting in the shade of a hut. Himba women apply a paste of butter, fat, and red ochre known as otjize to their skin and hair and wear beaded anklets, supposedly to protect their legs from venomous animal bites. Both men and women wear large numbers of necklaces, arm bracelets, sometimes almost like sleeves, made from ostrich eggshell beads, grass, cloth, copper as well as PVC pipe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579348920688-IYYB8EGUBL7I7BQRQ8SS/22.jpg wpf The Peace Bar in Etanga.

Himba women are traditionally not allowed to use water for washing. This probably dates back to the great droughts where water was scarce and only men were allowed access to water for washing purposes. Apart from applying red ochre on their skin, women take a daily smoke bath in order to maintain personal hygiene. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579349044601-GJDO21LDSXZBGQXL7EY7/24.jpg wpf A young mother and her baby in Marienfluss, Northern Kaokoland. Most of the villages and settlements in remote Kaokoland are predominantly female. The men are often out of town with the cattle or even living in larger towns. Many women stay permanently in their traditional villages, conducting their daily activities without the involvement of men. That means many of them raise their children without fathers, but with the support of other women. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579349050318-EJ1FCVFZ6BYT1LM6SICB/25.jpg wpf A woman in Marienfluss shows the passport photographs she had made in Opuwo for her identity card. In many ways Namibia is a surprisingly organised country. Every citizen that reaches the age of sixty is entitled to a monthly old age grant and these are distributed in cash to the remotest corners of the country. On top of the women’s head in the picture is the Himba crown or Erembe. This crown is made of cow or goat leather and is placed on the head when a girl reaches puberty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579349132215-5V7CNFZJVBN0RBZNF0N6/26.jpg wpf Himba women gathering in a small restaurant in Opuwo, the commercial center for all Himba.

The smaller animals would be easy prey for predators like hyena, leopard and even jackal. Traditional outfits are slowly being replaced by modern, Western clothing. As Himba children go to school, their attitudes towards traditional dress and gender roles are often challenged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579349142891-ZQ3NV050PB27AX54T0V2/28.jpg wpf A young girl in Otapi village, just South of the Kunene river and the border with Angola. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579349146234-Q8UCSNN6SBDMZXT98F59/29.jpg wpf The vast space of remote Hartmann's Valley makes a single oryx look like nothing more than a little dot in the landscape. Hartmann is often described as a moonscape and is unpopulated, apart from the far Northern section where it ends in the Kunene River that forms the border with Angola. The dune belt is the edge of the Skeleton Coast; a rocky, sandy and very unhospitable strip of land approximately 40 kilometers wide that separates the area where the Himba live from the Atlantic Ocean. Most Himba have never in their lives seen the ocean. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1579349150309-CI8N5CJW6RXWLH8LJT22/30.jpg wpf A black rhino in Palmwag.

Marrakech, Morocco Marrakech is world-famous for the many souks in the old city centre. However, these markets have been affected by the growth of tourism. This effect is not nearly as strong in peripheral areas, such as the Bab El-Khemis Market, featuring mostly metal workers. I meet this blacksmith just as he is taking a tea and cigarette break. Khalid and his colleague make all kinds of steel household objects, such as oil lamps and parts for these lamps. He explains to me that he deliberately works in a dark room. ‘When you heat iron, it changes colour from red to orange to yellow, and finally to white. The ideal working temperature for us is right between orange and yellow. To be able to see the colours properly, we like to work in a dimly lit room.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223193539-SH94RBHKMHPXMQOVAEWD/mauritius2010_0431thijsheslenfeldA_15_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Mahébourg, Mauritius This man sells meat at the Mahébourg market. His self-assured, stoic demeanour catches my eye. When I take the photograph I don’t have time to have a chat, so I don’t actually find out anything else about him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223176612-3X5Z19E77WEAG9EZS15Q/indonesie2011--2310-thijsheslenfeldA_10_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Slat, Bali, Indonesia Komang Widiantara (25) washes cars in the small village of Slat in the middle of Bali. He works together with seven other people. ‘We wash around eight cars by hand each day and also clean the interiors. I enjoy the work – we’re out all day and meet a lot of people.’ A full car wash costs 25,000 rupiahs – the equivalent of 2 euros. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374224306523-WL9MQIIQVOKO00D4A62J/dubbel13.jpg Men at work - Waterford, Ireland (LEFT) John Walsh (65) is the blind owner of ’11 J. & K. Walsh 11’, an off-licence in the centre of Waterford City. The back of the shop is home to a simple pub with the atmosphere of a 19th-century bar. It has a simple bar, a wall covered with bottles, and a couple of barstools with ripped leather seats. There’s an old black-and-white photograph and a broken mirror on the wall. Everything is old and dilapidated, but at the same time breathtakingly beautiful. Walsh tells me that a disease left him blind 15 years ago. He briefly takes off his glasses: 'See, I’ve got no eyes left.' It’s no wonder the place looks so run down. Walsh probably still remembers it as it was 15 years ago. He has never heard of the internet or e-mail. And, judging by the ashtrays on the bar, the smoking ban implemented in Ireland four years ago has not yet caught on either. He took over the pub from his parents and has done everything on his own ever since. ‘I cook for myself and clean the toilets. What choice do I have? No one else is going to do it for me.’ Hearing his story, I feel positive and sad at the same time. There’s such strength in this bashful man, and yet such loneliness as well. -  (RIGHT) Michael Griffin (74) is a retired butcher. He was born in this house in the centre of Waterford City. He ran his butcher shop here until 1983, when he decided to call it quits to protest Ireland's entry into the EU a couple of years earlier. ‘We always had beautiful Irish beef, but as soon as we joined the EU the frauds and cheats in Brussels put the kibosh on that trade.’ Michael no longer sells meat, but the door to his shop remains open every day. Neighbours and friends like to stop in for a chat. Michael, who never married and still lives above the shop with his brother, loves to talk about horses more than anything else. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223207778-FMQW985BDRMXWFSY0F2M/mauritius2010_0493thijsheslenfeldA_113_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Mahébourg, Mauritius Hairdresser Younous Copaul (81) is waiting for the first customer in his hair salon in Mahébourg, Mauritius. Copaul estimates he must have cut the hair of more than 250,000 people since starting his business in 1944. Retirement is not an option, simply because he needs the money. However, he tells me he still enjoys his job. I took the picture in May 2010, just when huge numbers of people took to the streets of Madrid, Paris and Athens to demonstrate against government plans to raise the retirement age. EU statistics show that the average age of retirement in Greece is 61, while in France it is 59.4. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223071556-BIOYOBYNKLVDY0CMQLFX/DUBBEL4.jpg Men at work - Suriname (LEFT) Clyde Weeks is a security guard with the Mining Service Centre (MSC) of the Surinamese government. He’s seated in a chair holding a riot gun, in the middle of the jungle near Merian, where a lot of illegal gold prospectors operate. Suriname has been flooded with these gold diggers, who wreck the forests and pollute the rivers with mercury. The government has been trying to control the problem by establishing a special committee (of which the MSC is a member), but it has had little success so far.  - (RIGHT) Carlo ‘Kaatje’ Demidof (51) is an interesting character. He spent 20 years of his life as an illegal alien in the Netherlands. He was hooked on drugs and hanging around on Rotterdam’s Kruiskade. A few years ago, he decided to kick the habit and move back to his native Suriname. He now lives on the grounds of an old plantation where his ancestors once worked as slaves. The plantation has been transformed into a modern resort. Carlo helps maintain the former slave quarters. He has also set up a small museum that displays all archaeological remains unearthed here in the past few years. Kaatje tells me he is a happy man once again: ‘This is where I want to live and die.’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223216399-N0R0AIX1Z5XO91NZPCFX/morrocco2010_0206thijsheslenfeldA_17_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Zarkian Zahir, Morocco Ahmed Zahir (50) is getting ready for a new day at his restaurant in Zarkian Agballu, located in the mountains east of Marrakech. Ahmed has been running his joint for more than 30 years. His most popular dishes are his tagines and couscous. Naturally, his customers also drink many litres of tea a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223040323-WCGJWEJ6TGEOOVO31BIV/australia2010_0451_thijsheslenfeldA_04_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Wiluna, WA, Australia Malcolm Merchant and his wife run a farm in Wiluna. Their original plan was to grow grapes, but that turned out to be unsuccessful. They were unable to keep the vines alive due to the continued drought. Before embarking on this adventure, Malcolm had collected all the available meteorological data for the past 100 years. He intended to use these as a basis for predicting patterns in rainfall in the Wiluna area. ‘It turned out that the rainfall here was completely unpredictable. Nobody knows when it’s coming, and nobody knows how much will fall. And it’s very local. Sometimes we get nothing at all, while they could be having a 60-minute downpour just 10 kilometres from here.’ To support themselves, Malcolm and his wife now rent out the simple rooms originally intended for grape pickers and other seasonal workers. Their initiative has been successful. People travelling from the extremely isolated Gunbarrel Road, in particular, jump at the chance to sleep in a real bed in an air-conditioned room for the night. Malcolm is a sensitive man. He talks about literature and expressively recites a poem about the beauty of life in the Outback, with tears in his eyes. ‘This poem so perfectly describes the blistering heat of a summer day in this area. The sultriness and the total stillness, with maybe just a hint of a slight breeze. I love it!’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223070418-QR3ZH2DSG6PI4HH950F2/DUBBEL12.jpg Men at work - Australia & Luxembourg (LEFT) Tom Bruce (60) is a sheepshearer and cowboy. He has led a wild and dangerous life. A Vietnam vet, he competed in rodeos for many years back in the United States, where he was also featured as a cowboy in Marlboro ads. He has since settled down in the remote town of Peterborough in South Australia, where he lives on a farm together with his partner, her son, 10 kangaroos and a bunch of cockatoos. Tom believes the Vietnam War changed the course of his life: ‘If it hadn’t been for that war, I would probably own a farm on Kangaroo Island right now and have a wife and children.’ He still thinks about the war every day: ‘It's a part of me – that’s something that will never go away. Fortunately, after 35 years I don’t have nearly as many nightmares as I used to.’ Tom had a drinking problem for many years, but nowadays he can limit his intake to a couple of beers. He’s had a good life: ‘I have no regrets. There’ve been good times and bad times. I did a lot of dangerous things, but things always worked out for the best in the end.’ -  (RIGHT) Driver Jean-François Tournemine (44) is waiting for his boss, a Belgian judge at the European Court of Justice in the Kirchberg district. Jean-François has been doing this job for 20 years, and he still enjoys it. ‘Mostly, you need a lot of patience, as waiting around is part of the job. But I have no problem with that at all.’ Tournemine is not from Luxembourg. He lives right across the border in the French town of Thionville. He drives home every night in his own car. ‘I like that, because it means my work is done for the day!’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223027608-ODOTR46WBXNGA3CWFFZD/australia2009_4096thijsheslenfeldA_03_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Calvert Hills Station, NT, Australia US native Alex Chapple (81) is the eccentric owner of the remote Calvert Hills Station, which he runs together with his daughter Kit (55). A recent heart attack hasn’t stopped him from his daily habit of knocking back 12 cans of beer and smoking 3 packs of Winfield cigarettes. ‘But they’re Ultra Lights, you know – the only brand that lets you experience the taste of paper!' Calvert Hills is a massive cattle station covering more than one million acres and housing 15,000 to 18,000 cows. Although Highway 1 is not too far away, this is still a remote place. You can drive for hours on this gravel road without running into another soul. The nearest petrol station is 200 kilometres away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223261208-IMPK71QKJI3PZ29HMK3Z/morrocco2010_1154thijsheslenfeldA_20_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Marrakech, Morocco Wandering through the souks of Marrakech, I discover an ancient gate that emits a hot smoke. Inside I find this man, Mohammed (I forgot his surname). He works as a fireman in a hammam (public bath house). In the basement of the building, he keeps a large fire going with wood shavings that he arranges to have picked up from local woodworkers. His modest home is located at the top of the firehouse. That’s where I took this portrait. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1374223280569-1VCTIGVV4ECWPWXPHDU5/spitsbergen_2007_thijsheslenfeld0549a_23_verkleind.jpg Men at work - Virgohamna, Spitsbergen Dutchman Ton Pieters is showing a group of tourists around Spitsbergen, a Norwegian archipelago midway between the North Cape and the North Pole. It is known as Europe’s last untouched wilderness. Pieters is carrying a gun, to defend himself and the group against the 3,000-odd polar bears that populate the island – as many as the human population. Their presence means that anyone who ventures off the beaten track outside the small capital city of Longyearbyen must be prepared for an attack at all times. When not employed as a tour guide, Pieters works as a forester for the National Forest Service in the Netherlands. He has been in his job for 40 years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1373053758856-I8NLUDIUYXF19B3QUOJ2/men-at-work-d.jpg Men at work

Mando Lavarello en ik fotografeerde hem op Tristan da Cunha, het meest afgelegen bewoonde eiland van de wereld, midden de zuidelijke Atlantische Oceaan, tussen Argentinië en Zuid-Afrika in. Het eiland heeft geen vliegveld en zelfs geen haven: je kunt er alleen komen door op dagen met weinig golfslag met een klein bootje aan de kust te landen. Ik bezocht Tristan da Cunha toen ik aan boord van de Bark Europa fotografeerde voor mijn boek ‘Cold’, over een lange zeilreis naar Antarctica. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117462661-5Y6TM8QE17HGGHAG6S29/COA-by-Thijs-2.jpg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-2 Dit meisje fotografeerde ik op het eiland Rinca, in het oosten van Indonesië. Rinca en het naastgelegen Komodo zijn bekend omdat het de enige plaatsen op de wereld zijn waar de Komodo varaan leeft; de grootste hagedis van de wereld. Voor toeristen vormen ze een bezienswaardigheid en dat is de reden dat er hier heel regelmatig groepen toeristen op bezoek komen. Toch voelt dit als een zeer afgelegen plek die nauwelijks aangeraakt wordt door de snelle veranderingen die ons leven kenmerken; het leven in de kleine dorpjes hier is er in de afgelopen decennia nauwelijks veranderd. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117476196-GD9WU6CFJ4BYVVIVXSE6/image-asset.jpeg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-3 Meisje op de markt in Labuan Bajo, op Flores, Indonesië. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117489450-HF2RUOBTOJADN5H6UF50/image-asset.jpeg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-thijs-4 Ik ontmoette Safa’a (15) in Al Za’atari, het uitgestrekte vluchtelingenkamp in Noord-Jordanië. Ze was verlegen en stil en het gesprek dat schrijfster Rinke Verkerk met haar voerde vlotte niet echt. Totdat Rinke vroeg of Safaa schreef. Ze haalde een stuk papier uit haar zak en droeg een prachtig zelf geschreven gedicht voor, waarin ze haar verlangen om terug te keren naar Syrië beschreef. Het raakte mij diep; haar verhaal staat in het boek ‘Anything out of nothing’ en een deel van haar gedicht prijkt - in het Arabisch - op de cover van het boek. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117571766-I5R5UHRZLVAK0JD4B1FU/image-asset.jpeg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-thijs-5 Blessi Koese (11) speelt met zijn vriendjes graag in de stroomversnelling boven Awarradam, diep in het Surinaamse oerwoud. Deze foto werd uiteindelijk de cover van mijn boek ‘Au!’, over de vernietiging van dit prachtige stuk Amazone door de activiteiten van goudzoekers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117516378-EY36ND8SPL82XSYXFPVV/COA-by-Thijs-6.jpg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-6 Ik reis elk jaar ruim twee maanden met een 4WD door het afgelegen en vrijwel onbewoonde noordwesten van Namibië. De mensen die ik daar nog tegenkom zijn vrijwel allemaal himba: één van de laatste nog echt nomadisch levende volkeren van de wereld. Prachtige, pure en onverschrokken mensen. Als ik mijn kamp opsla in de buurt van een nederzetting, komen de himba vaak pas ‘s morgens kennismaken; het is duidelijk een gewoonte om elkaar ‘s avonds met rust te laten. Dat gebeurde ook met dit beeldschone meisje, dat ‘s ochtends samen met een vriendin thee dronk bij mijn kampvuur. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117530090-TTUD2TAH5I9OYPDSCR44/COA-by-Thijs-7.jpg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-7 Hoog in de bergen in Peru, ten zuiden van Cuzco, stuitte ik op een kudde alpaca’s die door twee jongetjes en een paar honden werd gehoed. Toen we de auto stopten en een paar foto’s van de schitterende omgeving maakten, kwamen de herders en hun honden enthousiast aangerend. We hebben een paar minuten met elkaar gepraat en ergens tijdens die bijzondere ontmoeting maakte ik dit portret. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117547063-2F568VR4AJCSMZPO6X55/COA-by-Thijs-8.jpg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-8 Diep in het Surinaamse oerwoud, niet ver van Awarradam, stuitte ik op een vader en zoon die een houten kano uit een boomstam aan het hakken waren. Het was een korte en vluchtige ontmoeting, en ergens tijdens ons gesprek maakte ik deze foto. Pas een paar jaar later vond ik hem terug op de harde schijf en werd ik gegrepen door de intensiteit van het portret. Het is nu één van mijn favoriete foto’s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117503379-VCZKKBEDB372Z7R1YJQU/COA-by-Thijs-5.jpg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-9 Jason Swartbooij (2) woont samen met zijn oma Theresia (43) en nog een paar kinderen in een eenvoudige hut in het droge en afgelegen zuiden van Namibië. De man van Theresia werkt op een boerderij in de buurt. Ik ontdek het mooie en liefdevolle gezin toevallig als ik op zoek ben naar een zuidelijke toegang tot de Fish River Canyon. Een paar jaar later ben ik terug geweest naar deze plek om het gezin wat geld te geven om een eigen huis te bouwen. Voor zover ik heb kunnen nagaan is dat ook werkelijk gelukt, in een stadje niet ver van de plek waar ik ze ontmoette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/51b3143fe4b0830c27f2d1ec/1540117584730-KHLHCHWT91I2UE1NMBGC/COA-by-Thijs-10.jpg coa: Verbeteren Leef- en Speelomgeving COA-by-Thijs-10 Dit jongetje dat door zijn moeder werd gewassen fotografeerde ik ‘s ochtends heel vroeg in het noorden van Bali, op een plek waar heel weinig toeristen komen. Zo’n ochtendwandeling zonder plan op een onbekende plek is vaak een mooie manier om verrassende ontmoetingen te beleven, en dus ook om mooie foto’s te maken. https://thijsheslenfeld.com/oldenaller
