Noble and elegant, the flamingos of Namibia's 'Walvis Bay' dance in the sunset glow

Unexpectedly, in Namibia, one could encounter so many flamingos, and even more surprising is the chance to meet this group of 'pink nobility' right outside the hotel door. This is where the sand meets the sky, stretching out is the endless golden coast, dazzling with sparkling diamonds that adorn the charm of the golden desert of 'Namibia', a world-class vacation paradise. The 'Walvis Bay' by the Atlantic is the largest gathering place for seabirds in Southwest Africa, with no whales but a cloud of seabirds, and more flamingos than in Kenya. This place was once a secluded anchorage for whaling ships, but now the lagoon formed in the harbor is rich in algae, small fish, and shrimp, becoming a paradise for more than a hundred species of birds, known for its numerous seabirds and waterfowl, with flamingos being the most numerous. Three-quarters of all flamingos in Southern Africa reside on this shallow beach, with a total of about 50,000. Flamingos, also known as 'red storks', are elegant and charming waterfowl with eye-catching pink feathers and long legs, making them one of the most popular birds in the world, known as the scenic line among birds. With their slender legs, flamingos always walk with their necks bent and heads raised, standing out against the sky and the water. They have bright feathers, elegant postures, and unique habits, and when they dance, they resemble a vivid painting. Today, just before sunset, standing by the lagoon in the harbor, groups of beautiful messengers dazzle like rainbows, with pink, orange-red, and white intertwined in front of me, astonishing. In the distance, the slender figures of the flamingos shimmer with orange light under the setting sun, as they bow their heads to forage, their long beaks gently stirring, as if dancing a graceful dance. They return in flocks through the water, like clusters of orange flames burning in the twilight. I managed to capture a few of the closest flamingos strolling on the beach with their long legs, looking like a group of wave-stepping dancers against the golden backdrop. The silhouette of the flamingos becomes even more vivid in the twilight. And the lagoon glimmers with golden light, the ripples on the water sparkling, like a beautiful oil painting. Watching and thinking about the group of mysterious fairies in dreamlike pink dresses dancing gracefully in front of the hotel door morning and evening, it's truly intoxicating.
