Every cloud has a silver lining . . .

And every lake should have a pink lining, like Lake Bogoria. It's a small body of water in the Rift Valley that is salty and hot. Honestly, it's hooooot. The temperature reached 39C in the shade and was unchartable in the steam of the hot springs. You can boil an egg in 5 minutes flat on the edge of the lake.


Given that description, one would think the lake would be a barren wasteland. But it's not. It's filled with pink flamingos. Millions of them. Apparently they enjoy a slow roast. It was a truely incredible sight.




Since I'm on the topic of animals, here are a few others that I've seen on my short sojurn. If you have delicate sensibilities you may want to avert your gaze. Unfortunately I don't have a super quick camera so there are a lot of animal derrieres as they turn to run from the girl trying to take their picture.
