Thema: Tanzanian Lake turns animals "to stone". Antwort auf: AA-mazing Part 2 von DG

"I unexpectedly found the creatures - all manner of birds and bats -
washed up along the shoreline of Lake Natron in Northern Tanzania.
No-one knows for certain exactly how they die, but it appears that
the extreme reflective nature of the lake’s surface confuses them,
and like birds crashing into plate glass windows, they crash into the
lake. The water has an extremely high soda and salt content, so high
that it would strip the ink off my Kodak film boxes within a few seconds.
The soda and salt causes the creatures to calcify, perfectly preserved,
as they dry. I took these creatures as I found them on the shoreline,
and then placed them in ‘living’ positions, bringing them back to ‘life’,
as it were. Reanimated, alive again in death."

Naja, wie da schon steht: I took these creatures as I found them on the
shoreline, and then placed them...", trotzdem irgendwie schön.
