Richard says:
On January 10th 2020, I flew over Lake Magadi in Kenya by a helicopter, hoping to see the colorful patterns formed by various minerals floating on the water. When I found an area with particularly beautiful patterns, I asked the pilot to circle around this area for a few more laps to give me time to enjoy the rare beauty. Several flocks of flamingos flew leisurely during the period. When they flew to the appropriate position, I shot hundreds of photos with my Nikon D850 set to 200 second. This is one of them.
