  2. What an amazing sunset it must be to attract so many camels. At 65 and overweight and a bit infirm, I think I'll have to make the trip by car, sad to say.

  8. I'll bet the sunset is beautiful, and it must be fun to ride the camels. I've often wondered how riding them compares to horseback riding.

  10. I am glad that these beasts of burden get their time of relaxation as well as the humans. These are humped wonders, looking stately as well a elegant given they work as much as they can...

  21. Great shot!
    There is one shot from National Geographic with camels and their shadows. At first, you don't really know which ones are the shadows and which ones are the camels.
    Here is the link, in case you don't know the shot.

  29. Camels are such exotic animals, at least to me.;)) I have never seen a camel in reality, only in a zoo. But then again, I am not sure I have seen one there either.;)
    But your pictures are the next best thing.;)
