PINK FLAMINGOS AND CRYSTALLINE FORMATIONS

Water is an artist—revealing itself to me from the sky.
In Kenya, Lake Magadi was once home to hippos, crocodiles, and fish. Over time, it gradually dried up. Today, it feels like an unknown planet. Mineral salts from hot springs have built up on the lakebed, creating an incredible palette of colors.
One of the few species that still survives here is the flamingo, feeding on the microorganisms that thrive in its warm waters.
