Salt Lake Magadi at the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
Two or three million years ago a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself forming this huge crater (260 km2/100 sq mi) which is 610 m (2,000 ft) deep.

Beautiful sight!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
flamingos are such elegant and beautiful birds!
Have heard that the pink increases with a certain kind of food (forgot what, or course:) )
I like the flamingoes but that second picture is stunning. Diane
Hiya JM,
The pink in those flamengoes makes for a beautiful scene.
A beautiful sight to see. Many thanks for sharing.
That's a mile deep! Yikes! Some people think I was living then and should know all about it, but I was not alive then! Sheesh!
What a pair of absolutely gorgeous photos. I've seen that many flamingos but only at Flamingo Gardens in Miami.
The second shot is so rich in color and offers such stunning contrasts - very well done, JM!
Wow, what a beautiful sight to see, awesome shot.
HI JM. Stunning scenery and fabulous Flamingoes.
... an amazing set of photos!
Absolutely gorgeous photos! The sky in the second shot is awesome!
Beautiful photos. I'd really like to see flamingos like that - sometime!
Beautiful! Would love to be there to see the flamingos myself. Great shots! The black clouds look like a flock of raggedy birds racing across the sky!
Very beautiful photos of a bird i hope to see once. Gorgeous!
Incredible JM. Lake Magadi is two thousand feet deep?! From Tanzania the Seychelles are just a short hop relativly speaking. I had a good mind to go there when I was in Africa back in the early '70's but didn't. What a mistake judging by your photos.
@Springman: It's a shallow lake, the crater is 2,000 feet deep. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, I've just rewrote it. :-)
Superb second pict
Breathtaking images of the "large" flock of Flamingos and the sky above the lake!
Beautiful, just beautiful JM!
Ooo ahhh more flamingos.
Lovely birds.
You must show the Flamingo of the Tagus also. They are gorgeous. MB
