Farewell Kenyan Skies

These were the skies over Kenya as I made my way to Nairobi on my most recent safari to my beloved adopted country.

As you can see, it was a very hazy day on the day I departed.

The countryside around Nakuru has some beautiful country scenes.  I love that the landscape is dotted with red rooftops.

And that cows live and roam freely.

This is a scene from the highway.  You can just make out the mountain tops near Lake Elementeita. You can read more about Lake Elementeita in an earlier blog post here.

My driver, Julius is focussed on the road ahead.  He is perhaps one of the most fastidious drivers I've had in Kenya. The other driver I really like is also named Julius, lol.

There are a lot of lorries in Kenya. You can see them here though this is by no means the most I've seen in any one place.

You can also see fruit stands selling oranges along the roadway.  I didn't stop as we were planning a luncheon stop in Lake Naivasha at the Golf and Country Club (more about that in a future post).

This is the final photo of the day. When I took this near Naivasha I said out loud that this would be my contribution to one of the Skywatch Fridays posts. I thought it was an interesting shot given all the birds and they don't seem to be in any particular formation. I wonder if they saw some food below?

 

I hope you've enjoyed the drive with me. For more Skywatch Friday photos, click here. I think this photo also qualifies for Blue Monday and I will see if I am able to add it later.  Join Smiling Sally and the others here. Please say a prayer for Smiling Sally as she has recently had surgery and endured some complications.
