And Then the Camel Rider Appeared

The last day of my visit to the Thar Desert, the young men from the hotel and I set out to photograph the dunes at sunset for the last time. I was once again on the camel sled, bouncing along behind the camel, and my "helpers" were walking beside me.

 

Yes, we found the people walking on one of the highest dunes, but I was hoping for another scene. they quickly realized my dismay. Suddenly, a camel rider came into view. I am sure i was grinning from ear to ear and screaming, "YES." I turned to the young men beside me and saw they were on their mobile phones. They had orchestrated this scene for me with one of their friends.
