Photo by @FransLanting The gatherings of flamingos on Africa’s Great Rift Valley lakes is one of the most magnificent bird spectacles on the planet. Millions flock to places like Kenya’s Lake Nakuru to feed on algae, which flourish in the warm alkaline water. At times, mass courtship rituals ripple through the gatherings. In this image I used a time exposure to blur the outlines of the foraging birds while twilight added a beautiful blue hue to their pink color.
