Hippos wading in Lake Baringo, Kenya. |
If you like this scene, you might enjoy these.
Julius my driver on the far left of the photo. Patrons of the restaurant in the middle and on the right. |
A street scene as we drive through Marigat and set out for the village with the new borehole. |
One last street scene in Marigat. |
We pass by a mosque. Click on the photo to see the bird flying overhead. |
We are now on the long road to where we are going. At this point I have no idea just how long this journey will be. |
The "road" in these parts is still reasonable. It will get much bumpier. But I think you can get an idea of how dry and dusty it is here. |
Along the way we meet people.... |
...and lorries. We are actually still in the city limits if you will. |
Soon you can see the change in roads. |
The greenery along the road side is due to the Perkerra River which flows there. It isn't very filled with water at the moment. |
I love to take photos of the countryside where I can as it is so very different to where I live. |
A nice large tree though I'm afraid I do not know what kind. |
These cows are crossing the small river. I was struck on this journey with all the cattle and goats in the area. These people are pastoralists more than farmers. |
I thought this bike against the tree made a nice vignette. |
Here is the same vignette but a little farther away. |
I love this countryside where the land is flat, the acacia trees are forming their lovely branches and there are big bunches of cacti. |
We now must cross the river. The driver and the village community leaders who accompany us discuss what to do. |
Here they get out and survey the situation. |
The river is not too high so we look for the shortest distance across. |
And here they go. |
I decide to walk across and cool my feet but I keep my flipflops on. |
I snap photos of the mud huts and laundry along the way. |
More cattle. These seem to be a special breed as they are all white. |
We are very close to our final destination of the borehole. |
