Camels Everywhere


Though it is 7-8 hours going to Riyadh and back, traveling through the desert is never boring. Due to the limited rain and the resulting grass, there are goats, sheep, and camels everywhere this time of year. The camels tend to graze closer to the roadside and sometimes travel on the shoulder. The two babies in the foreground illustrate the extremes in the coloring.

If you click on the photo it will open in a larger view. Look closely in the left rearground and you can see one of the shepherds riding along on a camel.
