Trackless and bare are the sands of the desert

No verdure adorns them, no green tree is there;

Parched by the winds and the hot, scorching sun rays,

Strewn with white bones lying bleaching and bare,

Patiently, slowly, across the vast ocean

Plod the strong camels, so faithful and true; Ships of the desert, with merchandise laden,

Camel , no filter

When I was packing for a weekend getaway down to Camel Rock on the NSW South Coast I looked at the 3 tents in my garage. My Ultra Like Big Agnes, my Hilleberg Bomb Shelter or my palatial Black Wolf weekender.

While this shot was being taken my Black Wolf was perched on an open hill back at Dalmeny Campground being hammered by 50km/h winds. Maybe I should have packed differently…

In the end I came away fairly un-scathed with just a broken tent pole, a small price to pay for finally getting myself down to this remarkable part of the coast. There are literally too many comps here to count and I didn’t even both looking at Horse Head or Glasshouse.

I’ll definitely be back and next time I’ll be prepared!

The Camel runs north out of Padstow, England to the sea. As it widens, it becomes a sort of idyllic summertime playground, especially at low tide. The sandbars in the photo pretty much disappear at high tide. Don't worry though, you'll feel the water lapping at your toes if you doze off!

Thank you my friends, for all your nice comments and faves !

Merzouga Desert in Morocco. Measuring around 22km by 5km, the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga form an intriguing in the otherwise flat and rocky desert that marks out the Moroccan portion of the Sahara Desert. If you think of a sandy desert, Merzouga area is your answer.

The age old question of does this halter make my nose look bigger? Maybe a different color???

Sunset time in the Arabian Desert. There's a stillness that is almost indescribable. Wildlife slowly walk somewhere - wherever you look. The Camel herds drift off into the coming night and the sun turns pink before it drops in a heartbeat.

Camel Rock Bermagui

It's not like I haven't seen camels before, but I was fascinated watching this cluster.

Stołowe Mountains

The Stołowe Mountains are a 42-kilometre (26 mi)-long mountain range in Poland and the Czech Republic, part of the Sudetes. The Polish part of the range is protected as the Stołowe Mountains National Park. The highest peak of the range is Szczeliniec Wielki at 919 m (3,015 ft)

The range is formed of sandstone and, as the only one in Poland, presents plated structure with sheer mountain ledges. Among the tourist attractions there are two massifs: Szczeliniec Wielki on which the labyrinth, and Skalniak on which the labyrinth Błędne Skały (Errant Rocks). There are several notable rock formations, among them Kwoka ("Hen"), Wielbłąd ("Camel"), Małpa ("Monkey"), Głowa Konia ("Horse Head"), Fotel Pradziada ("Great Grandfather's Armchair").

A few years ago, we took a long holiday drive from Adelaide, through Victoria and onto New South Wales. Much of that drive was through areas that took the brunt of the recent fires.

This is Camel Rock beach near Bermagui in New South Wales. Many residents and holiday makers were forced to take refuge on the beach or in boats.

Camel Rock near Wallaga Lake

Located on the south coast of New South Wales outside the town of Bermagui is the rock formation known as Camel Rock. I was lucky on this occasion as the weather was pretty dramatic as you can see and got some great colour out of the green moss and sunset sky.
