• photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — Noon can lend this place the colors of a furnace. The old volcanoes to the south blacken and sands along the shore burn white and gray as ash or gleam like molten gold. In all directions heaps of rocks and mountains rise without a tree upon them and always the wind bellows, driving the waves into whitecaps and sending birds tumbling sideways. It is a strange place to find so much water, a low place made by shifting plates. Water flows in and doesn’t leave, it cooks down. Even those hard men who, more than a century ago, first put Lake Turkana on the map were not prepared for its truth. They arrived after months of miserable walking and came down to the water seeking relief, for in water, as in certain flames, there is an illusion of coolness, a blue deception. But they found no comfort. Turkana is heavy with salt, fluoride, and the algae that gives it another of its names: Jade Sea. Men who drank it became sick and their animals sipped only when there was nothing better. I know an old man who once spent a year living alone on the lakeshore. He hunted crocodiles at night, wading into the shallows with a rifle. There were enormous fish, too, and those he shot with a pistol. He worried about lions and hippos and he watched daily in the sand for the tracks of bandits called shifta. He slept little, grew thin. It was still a time of giants, and he must have been in love. When I asked what he remembered best about the place he said Bright and then he said Exhausted. It was the most inhuman place he’d ever lived. Years later he understood that to mean it was also the most wonderful. For the last six years, Randy Olson and I have been documenting culture, change, and conflict in the watershed that connects southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya. These Instagram stories are part of our ongoing project, #NGwatershedstories, and they’re linked to our feature article in the August issue of @natgeo magazine. Join us @randyolson and @neilshea13 as we follow water down the desert. #2014 #africa #kenya #laketurkana #jadesea #volcanoes #fishing #water #documentary #reportage #everydayafrica #everydayeverywhere by natgeo http://ift.tt/1f7PNgc

They seem to defy gravity as they climb up incredibly steep rocky surfaces and move over ledges which are almost too small to see from below.

• Photo by @amivitale. Happy #WorldElephantDay! Elephants roam inside the Kaziranga National Park in Assam, Eastern India. Kaziranga is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to a significant elephant population, as well as other endangered species. India and its sacred elephants are threatened by deforestation and encroachment of the reserved land and natural forests. Find out more about my colleagues at @nature_org and @nature_africa who are working to save elephants around the world by following them on Instagram. @worldelephantday @nature_africa @nature_org @natgeocreative @thephotosociety @nikonusa @natgeo #saveelephants #happyworldelephantday #loveelephants #iloveelephants #elephantlove #elephantlover #elephant #kaziranga #india #conservation #animals #magical #beauty #safari #wildlife #photooftheday #photography #nature #seetheworld #bestdestinations #nikonnofilter #nofilter #nikon #d4s #nikonambassador #photojournalism #onassignment #amivitale #🐘 by natgeo http://ift.tt/1MonxVe

• Photo by @BrianSkerry A large tiger shark swims in open, blue water in the Indian Ocean off the coast of South Africa. Tiger sharks are one of the more adaptable shark species, able to move easily from open ocean to urban environments. But much of their lives remains a mystery and researchers are only just beginning to fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle.

• The Internet was new and very expensive in Lagos, Nigeria, when aspiring young photographer Andrew Esiebo (@andrewesiebo) attempted his online search for a mentor. “I was only able to afford a minute to do the Internet search,” he says. But in that brief moment, he connected with Paul, a photographer and blogger in Minneapolis, Minnesota — and began a correspondence that continues to this day. “Back then, I would take pictures with my film camera, scan them and email to Paul for his feedback. And at some point, he sent me books with titles on light, camera equipment, the business of photography and darkroom processing. I studied those books religiously and acquired the confidence to be more creative and skillful with my camera.” Almost 15 years later, Andrew’s photographs have been exhibited and published around the world, and he continues to post to the Internet to fill “global visual representation gaps” about his homeland. He adds, “Lagos is a city of contrasts. There’s slums and posh areas, congestions and tranquilities, tension and calm, hopes and despairs. There’s spaces for everybody in the city.” Photo by @andrewesiebo by instagram http://ift.tt/1Tttsar

• Photograph by @thomaspeschak Can you guess where this photograph was taken? Steep cliffs and wind and salt stunted trees are the signatures of this remote coastline. This is one of the few places left on our planet where a truly wild landscape borders a wild ocean.
