Roses for export in Naivasha, Kenya last Thursday.

From Kenya, Flowers in Kenya is a narrated slideshow of stunning contrasts by AP.


The story:Kenya violence threatens flower exports

Tech note: At the bottom of the slideshow are links to Play, Pause and Captions (to the left of the progress bar below the photos). I mention it because the type is so dark on my screen that I missed the captions the first time through.

Some carbon footprint. I'm thinking they would be better off growing food or something else for local consumption.

I have a cousin over there. She says the tourist trade is zero now.
