A Surreal Lake

Lake Naivasha in Kenya is host to one of the most surreal landscapes I have seen in the world. There is some water in the lake, but for the most part it looks like it has been drained.

 

Some say that the flower industry that can be seen around the lake is to blame. Kenya provides cut flowers for Europe. the fields of flowers are impressive but apparently they are siphoning water from the lake and pollutants are being added to the water. Some say that excess water is causing the water to kill off the trees which surround the lake. The lake is not navigable at the present time.
