‘Sometimes Lake Natron in Tanzania is completely pink, with hundreds of thousands of Lesser Flamingos visiting the lake. It is their preferred place in the Rift Valley to lay eggs, and according to locals they have been going there for years. However, the Tanzanian government wants to build a soda ash factory there. It’s one of the most beautiful places that I have photographed. My personal feeling is that the Tanzania government should really try to abstain from interfering with the natural cycle. You touch one bit of it and that whole blend of beautiful features is threatened’
God I’ve missed you tumblr. After doing three shifts at three different jobs yesterday I’m completely in the mood to lie here getting stoned and dicking about on the internet for a few hours. Beautiful.
With China’s decaying answer to Cinderella’s Castle looming overhead on December 5, a farmer walks through cropland reclaimed after the late-1990s failure of the Wonderland amusement park—”rediscovered” this month by photographer David Gray.
Surprisingly easy to visit for adventurous travelers in China, the sprawling site offers a ghostly look at what was to have been Asia’s largest theme park—now a rusting parallel universe of Disney World doppelgängers.
In 1998 the Reignwood Group, a Thai-owned property developer, touted plans to build Wonderland on 120 acres (48 hectares) in the village of Chenzhuang inChina, some 20 miles (32 kilometers) outside of Beijing.
But the deal—which seemed poised to reap the bounty of a surging middle class with time and money to spare—went sour around 2000, when the developer, the local government, and farmers could not agree on the value of the land. An attempt to resuscitate the project in 2008 also failed.
