something pink in the water, originally uploaded by suddenly.we finally get to lake nakuru national park and pay the exorbitant entrance fee: $60 per non-resident. compare this to the $15 entrance fee for international visitors to kruger park. (remember what i said about nairobbery?) anyway, our first stop is the actual lake. this is what it looks like from the distance. as we get closer, we can make out what all that pink stuff is. FLAMINGOS! like a gazillion of them. they’re attracted to the algae in the water.

more flamingos!, originally uploaded by suddenly.
i don’t know if it’s the fish they eat or their poop (or the fish in their poop) but these flamingos are pretty darn smelly.

These photos are really incredible! I would love to get out there and see the smelly flamingos. Do you know if there’s any way of getting out there on a home exchange? Thanks!

Big fan here. Are there any publications that I can read your writings in?
