most descriptions will declare lake Natron environment as being harsh and inhospitable. Those statements are mostly true but there are exceptions near the few rivers and springs.
this happy herder wanders through a spring at the foot of Shombole, the mountain below.
this is all salted water, even where it looks blue. Any fresh water that hits the lake gets spoilt quickly sometimes even before reaching the lake.
the white dots are zebras.
the greenery in this area is only to be seen at the foot of Shombole.
a bit further south is Pininyi, a village and a forest fed by a river coming through the cliffs. Again the water is spoilt quickly as soon as it leaves the forest.
recent rains have helped a bit the vegetation on the shoreline.
otherwise rains or no rains, the lake itself always look colorful and geometric, but with 1000’s combinations during the year.
