Modern Day Explorer #1
Hank takes great pride in introducing Yusuf Hashim, a modern-day explorer and
photographer who gallivants the globe in search of adventure.Yusuf has graciously
allowed his rare and priceless photos to be shared in blogosphere. Hank and Yusuf
were in school together and have known each other since 1962.

For today Hank had chosen the above photo which is most unusual and most fascinating
and matched it with the prompt of 10 words provided by MLMM. This is the first in a series
of photos of the Modern-day Explorer Yusuf Hashim

Yusuf Hashim says,

Last year, I took a small group of photographers into a cattle camp of the Nuer people, deep in the under belly of Ethiopia – specifically the Baro Valley in the Gambella Region of Ethiopia. No sensible tourists ever comes here, simply because there are no tourist facilities

For today, I am posting a photo of how Nuer people stimulate their cows to yield more milk. Be amazed by this photo of a young Nuer lady, actually planting her entire face into the vagina of a cow, and blowing inside it, while caressing the udder area of the lucky cow. It seems, cows with calves will usually constrict the flow of milk, to conserve some for their offspring. Doing what this girl is doing seems to fool the cows into releasing more milk

The given words:
prevaricate (to give the wrong impression) fixture
reckless force pride  stupor blinding jaw chord body 

This was not in any way to prevaricate the obvious

A fixture that conveyed a thousand words

A responsibility may one construe appearing reckless

But still a responsibility taken with ardent efforts

It would bring sniggers, yes, but not to bother

This had been the way as long as she could remember

Light force imposed but it was no laughing matter

It had to be done and it had worked before

She had to do it she gleamed with pride

Not unlike in a drunken stupor in a blinding flash

She thrust her whole face, jaws and stretched them wide

Strong vocal chords blew into the inner body so blessed

To hoodwink the cow into releasing more milk

Simultaneously caressing the udder with relish      

Perhaps some cheap thrills for the cow but it worked

But that’s the way it had been and mission accomplished
