Camel in the Karakum desert, Turkmenistan

 

Here´s the thing with camels - they´re fucking huge. We stopped the car, tourist style, in order to get close to these wicked creatures who pretty much roams the desert as they please. I started to walk up to one of them, for some reason slowly humming (yes, I don´t know what the hell I was thinking) what I thought was a soothing melody.

 

I´m an urban flower. I can´t help it that I don´t have that natural instinct as far as animals go.

 

Anyway, it kind of worked and this is as close as I dared to go. Remember, they are friggin´ huge. I snapped this and instantly hated myself for not investing in a proper long zoom lens.
