Great Rift Valley, Kenya – August 27, 2017: Aerial view of an airplane flying over Lake Magadi in the Great Rift Valley, Kenya. Lake Magadi is the southernmost lake in the Kenyan Rift Valley, north of Tanzania's Lake Natron. The Rift Valley contains a chain of volcanoes and many other lakes such as the Turkana, Baringo, Bogoria and Nakuru. During the dry season Lake Magadi is covered by soda and is known for its wading birds. During the rainy season, a thin layer of brine covers much of the saline pan that evaporates rapidly leaving a surface of salt that cracks. The lake is recharged by saline hot springs and is very rich in blue-green algae, which feed insects and massive flocks of lesser flamingos (Phoenicoparrus minor). Altogether it forms a very peculiar mineral and colour-rich landscape. Currently the area is inhabited by the cattle-herder Masai tribes, but the relics of many hominids have been found in the escarpments.

The airplane shown is a Stearman PT-17 biplane which was used by the US Army and US Navy to train pilots leading up to, and during, WWII.  The airplane was used in basic, or primary, training of new pilots.  The photo shows the full airplane from the right front quarter view.  One can see the silhouette of the pilot's head in the cockpit.  The engine is not running.  The markings on the lower wing can be seen and show US Army.  The photo is a classic sepia tone and evokes a clear feeling of history and nostalgia.
