There are a number of operators that take tourists for a ride on in a camel train on Cable Beach in Broome. I don't like to be a killjoy but I fail to see what the attraction is in doing this but . . . . . .
See my intro for this pic in yesterday's posting at http://365project.org/terryliv/from-the-archiv/2015-01-08
Definitely best on black
@joansmor Joan, the camel sits down on the ground, you climb on and then you nearly fall off as it gets up... I haven't been on one but I laughed pretty hard when my daughter did.
Wonderful shot poppo. Love the line of camels, but might be a stronger shot if some of the sky was cropped out to put the camel train higher up in the picture. Just my opinion, love it anyway!
@shepherdmanswife And your opinion certainly counts Chantal. And to demonstrate how little I know about it all, I played around with cropping the beach off the bottom but in the end decided to leave it SOOC.
@gilbertwood I think you are drawing a long bow there Denise. BTW I saw John Graham's shot of the old guitar and immediately thought of JD but then saw you had beaten me to it. So I did what every grown man would do. Sulked.
Fabulous shot. I love camels and I have lived close to a beach where they have camel rides for 17 years and I finally went for a ride on one with my grandson a few months ago.
I wonder if they realize the rider on the last camel has apparently fallen off and been left behind. :) I've not ridden a camel and wouldn't mind being able to say I had. I almost rode a llama once but that's only because I was trying my best not to let him get away from me; his halter had come off and I had my arms around his neck as he pranced and side-stepped all over the place.
Actually Terry, I have done this along Cable Beach. Highly over-rated. I was 30 weeks pregnant at the time and had a toddler with me and the scummy bloke put us all in one saddle. So squishy and tight fisted of him! My toddler wanted to know why the men and women on the beach had forgotten to put their bathers on *-* how to tell toddler about nudist beaches whilst riding a camel?
Makes for a gorgeous photo opportunity though. Well done Terry.
