George Steinmetz Sand Camels Picture



Taken by George Steinmetz for the Turkish Edition of the National Geographic Magazine. He took this from the air in his motorized paraglider. The shadows of the camels (yes, the little white lines are the camels) look just like the actual camels from above. As reported in this Snopes.com article, the photograph was voted one of the best of 2005.

You must move the mouse slowly, it takes a few seconds to adjust, but this is absolutely amazing...it's no joke, just enjoy..

the secret to this is to move your mouse around with the left button suppressed.

Seniors' Sail Leeuwin

23 March 2007 Leeuwin Cruise
Went to see the Leeuwin because Tim was a part of the crew. By chance, the Community Development Officer - Seniors, for the City of Melville, saw my camera and asked for some photographs. (25 March 2007: Added photos from Tim taken on-board Leeuwin).
