I like the stories. I like the narratives that you get in fashion photography. And I like what the clothes do to the body – the patterns and stripes and all of that.

Murang’a Maragua Railway Bridge :: Lake Magadi Adventure Photography

This is the Railway bridge across the Maragua river near Murang’a town  Built by the Kenyan colonial government in the first half of the 20th century, the railway line to Murang’a town was one of the most important forms of transport in the country’s central area. Due to the rough terrain, engineers had to come up with cutting-edge engineering solutions of the time such as this 150-metre steel bridge at an elevation of 15 meters from the river.

 

Lake Magadi, lake, in the Great Rift Valley, southern Kenya. Lake Magadi is 20 miles (32 km) long and 2 miles (3 km) wide and is located about 150 miles (240 km) east of Lake Victoria. It occupies the lowest level of a vast depression, and its bed consists almost entirely of solid or semisolid soda. It was explored by Captain E.G. Smith in 1904, who found the outline irregular and traversed by great ridges. Several streams, both cold and hot, the latter heavily impregnated with soda, flow into the lake, while all about springs of soda water gush up through the caked crust, dyeing the waters a vivid pink. A railway from Mombasa leads to the lake, from which salt and gypsum are extracted.
