Photography: Flamingoes and colours of solitude

Lake Natron borders Kenya and Tanzania, though it is best viewed from the Arusha region of Tanzania. Natron is a desolate soda lake with high alkalinity, often producing a wonderful explosion of colour. Although no aquatic wildlife can be found here, flamingoes thrive off the lake’s algae and breed in their hundreds. The magnificent Oldoinyo Lengai rises behind the lake and coupled with the expansive, colourful waters and hundreds of flamingoes landscape photographers are in their element.
