Lake Nakuru is one of the places where flamingos feed by the thousands.
The lake was down and the mud flats kept us from getting very close to them- so I have no "portrait" shots of these lovely birds.
The last two images were taken in a different location than the Maasai village shots I've been posting (I thought I'd take a short break from that).
They are authentic huts of various tribes, built here so visitors could get a quick look at them.
I don't think they're Maasai, but I don't remember what natives tribes built them.
The construction material is much the same, though.
Wow! That is a lot of flamingos! I wonder if there is still that large number nowadays. There are no more flamingos here in Florida
I still find interesting the way they build their home,

Authentic recreated or recreated authentic? Very much different. Nice flamencos, but I don't hear any music or see any dancing.
Thanks Ken, Socrate and Birdie.
Because you heard no music from the pink "flamencos" , I know you're joshing me. But how much?
Let me explain the constructions just in case :
1. The huts were built by the tribal natives themselves and are the same as they build in their own villages.
2. But they were built in this one location as part of an "outdoor museum" kind of thing.

You saw Africa in a special way Charlie. I was hoping to see hundreds of thousands of flamingos at Lake Naivasha when I was there in 1980...I guess they didn't get the message and only a handful showed up...so when I see these images I can only imagine how it must have been to be there and see them all. Architecture and building materials haven't really improved much in the 30+ years since my first visit. I guess the materials are pretty plentiful and cheap as $h!+

Thanks BC, Ron, Morris, Chris, Tim, Kenny, Eric, Dorian and JF.
I took a 24-70 zoom, a 70-210 zoom, a 400mm prime lens, and three Canon bodies. And shot Kodak slides.
It started out to be a very short series- but several FMers seemed to be interested, so I extended it. But I've only got another day or two that I'll be posting in the series.
I visited Kenya some 15-20 years ago- so these aren't recent shots.
