This captured moment of serenity shows how, even in the midst of a civil war, there can be oases of peace. I visited South Sudan on five occasions over four years and, after many months of trying to capture the essence of this indigenous community, I was very happy with this image, taken near the town of Bor.

As war raged all around, the pastoralist Mundari people fled their homelands and sought refuge in the Sudd swamps of the Nile, swimming their cattle across crocodile infested waters to find sanctuary among the floating papyrus islands where their treasured long-horned cows would be safe.
