Lodi Pertovt, The Devil's Kitchen (February theme: Amazing places)

According to local legend, the Devil's Kitchen in Kenya is home to ancestral spirits who speak to the living through the sound of the blowing winds. This unique sandstone canyon has been shaped by centuries of wind and water erosion, revealing layers of rainbow-colored minerals. Overlooking the canyon stands a lone tree, its roots dangling from the precipice and its branches are bare from drought.
