Looking on my left just before landing on an airstrip, lake Natron.

 

 

 

 

Lake Natron, B/W photography

 

Natron is a salt lake which explains the LSD type patterns.

 

 

A delta on the northern side provides fresh water. But the salty environment will dilute that fresh water very quickly.

These 3 Maasai warriors know that feat and exactly where to cross. Somewhere else the skin would get burnt. The pH can reach 10.

Maasai warriors, Tanzania

 

I had just landed and my friends were waiting for me. They had had their ceremony a few weeks before and were intent of having as many memories as possible of their new status, that is the prestigious warrior status.

Jewels, clothes,weapons…each item is important and part of their new outfit.

 

Sometimes they have their sense of fun and composition. Boys seem to be the same all over the world…

Taking care of babies, definitely a woman’s job here.
