I have just got home from a lovely walk on the beach.
This camel looked as though he was trying to tell me that there are only three more sleeps till Christmas. Or maybe he was just saying 'Thanks heaven we are going home now after taking tourists over the dunes all day'
The dune safari people were packing up and once the saddles and blankets were off the camels backs they enjoyed a roll on the sand. It must make them feel itchy having a saddle and blanket on all day.
Lovely shot. Still early for him to celebrate the feast of the Three Kings. Yes, the camera was hand held throughout our Valletta evening. I find carrying a tripod very cumbersome.
@happypat Apparently according to statistics this year we have over one million feral camels in Australia. They had a cull in 2013 but the numbers have increased dramatically again since then. Camels were introduced to Australia in the 1840s to help explore the interior and also work as pack animals during the building of the railways.
@sangwann well done with your hand held photo it was very good.
@carole_sandford The dunes are huge and are about 32 km long from Anna Bay to Newcastle.
not a fan of camels - they spit - and many years ago when at a Christmas do as a kid one bit Santa hahahaha
