lake Natron in the rainy season, aerials.

 

after all those rains, dry salts and incredible colors like the pictures I posted a few weeks ago were not to be expected. The lake is full and looks like a normal lake from the distance.

Here clouds are reflecting on the dark blue surface. But the salts are fighting and don’t want to disappear. Some streaks are still visible.

 

below are various shots, all more or less vertical views but at different altitudes of the streaks. Seen from close the dark blue surface looks rather black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

even if I didn’t get to see my psychedelic lake at its best, this little flight was still worth every minute of it. This lake is permanent show time. I haven’t spotted a single flamingo on central and northern Natron. I guess the few ones are located on the southern part, that is the ones we visited last month.
