More wonderful photos, Claes. I agree with Themis, I especially like the waterfall one.

I'm afraid I don't know what it means, but I can provide a bit of trivia about it:Originally Posted by Themis
Nyahururu lies near Nakuru, and it is part of the Laikipia District in Rift Valley Province. It was founded by British colonists as Thompson Falls after the 70 metre high Thomson's Falls. It grew around a railway from Gilgil opened in 1929 (now used only for goods). Being the highest town in Kenya at some 2300m asl, it is a perfect training ground for Kenya's top athletes.

The books that I acquired this school year, 49 of them in all. I'm considering the feasability of getting rid of all of my furniture to make room for bookshelves.
What is the use of a violent kind of delightfulness if there is no pleasure in not getting tired of it.
- Gertrude Stein
A washerwoman with her basket; a rook; a red-hot poker; th purples and grey-greens of flowers: some common feeling which held the whole together.
- Virginia Woolf
Now that's rather lovely.

"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."

I recognize the Nortons! I've managed to maintain quite a pile of books from the school year as well....they're all hiding under my bed.

It's time again... Pictures from Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya:
A warthog boar. As I said before: A quite formidable pig...
Common Waterbucks.
Thompson Gazelles. Always alert, and they need to be: They are on the menu of nigh on every predator around.
A twoheaded Giraffe? Not quite...
Masai Giraffes.
Masai Giraffes... and a looming rainstorm.
Yours truly at Baboon Cliff, overlooking Lake Nakuru.
lake Nakuru from Baboon Cliff.
The pink stuff in the water? Flamingos.
The white patch on land? Pelicans.
Hyrax. And would you believe it: Those cuddly blighters are the closest living relative of the... Elephant?
Not so cuddly, by the way: They bite! Some stupid tourist tried to pat one and got away with a bloody hand.
More Hyrax'
And that ends the lake Nakuru part. Next batch will be from Masai Mara...

Those are wonderful Claes.
I like the one of the lake showing the pink mass of flamingos. Those little Hyrax are cute, but patting a wild animal is never a good idea, so I think that tourist should indeed have known better.
