An absolutely stunning panoramic painting of the Rift Valley, located in Eastern Africa, the detail is incredible.
The Rift valley consists of a group of independent interior basins, extending from Djibouti in the north to Tanzania in the south, nearly half being located in Ethiopia.


In Kenya, the valley is deepest to the north of Nairobi. As the lakes in the Eastern Rift have no outlet to the sea and tend to be shallow,
they have a high mineral content as the evaporation of water leaves the salts behind.
For example, Lake Magadi has high concentrations of soda (sodium carbonate) and Lake Elmenteita, Lake Bogoria, and Lake Nakuru are all strongly alkaline,

We have a small number of this edition .. never been framed in its original folder
A very sought after image , and virtually unobtainable.
