EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of Lake Baringo, one of the two freshwater lakes nestled within the Eastern Rift Valley in Kenya. As the lens focuses on a smiling family, their traditional handcrafted canoe gracefully glides across the red waters that are tainted by suspended solids caused by soil erosion from poor agricultural practices. The image showcases a proud African mother skillfully paddling her vessel while her child sits beside her, both radiating happiness and contentment. The woman's vibrant tribal attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of this region, where ancient traditions and customs continue to thrive. Against a backdrop of rolling hills, this scene epitomizes the harmonious relationship between humans and nature. The lake serves as a vital resource for local tribes such as Njemps and Il Chamus who rely on its abundant waters for sustenance and transportation. Photographed by Nigel Pavitt, an acclaimed photographer known for his ability to capture authentic moments in African landscapes, this print encapsulates not only the stunning beauty of Lake Baringo but also raises awareness about environmental challenges faced by these communities. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these precious ecosystems and support sustainable practices that preserve both natural wonders like Lake Baringo and the unique cultures that call it home.
