Camels

The ability of the camel to survive in desert conditions without water for long periods of time is rivalled by none. The many physiological adaptations the dromedary have even earned it the title "ship of the desert". Dromedaries can glean much of their needed water from desert vegetation, and can survive after losing over 40 percent of their body weight in water. When water is available, whether fresh or brackish (salty), camels drink well - up to 57 litres at a time.
This camel was at the Caversham Wildlife Park
Australian feral camels are feral populations of dromedaries. Imported into Australia from British India and Afghanistan during the 19th century for transport and construction during the colonisation of the central and western parts of Australia, many were released into the wild after motorised transport replaced the use of camels in the early 20th century
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!
Trick the camel.

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 Camel served as a malt mill until the early morning of March 20, 1865. On that day, a gust of wind blew the blades and the upper shaft of the mill. Whether this was due to the combination of a heavy load on the structure and a heavy gust of wind or was done deliberately to collect insurance money by the then new owner has long been a point of discussion in the Schiedam mill community in the 19th century. Afterwards, the mill served as a steam sawmill for several years after partial repairs.
The remains ofthe Camel [De Kameel] were demolished in 1868, after a fire in the mill stump.
Of all the mills that the city has had and of which reconstruction was feasible, De Camelwas the most visible from the city center. The city, which profiles itself as a mill town, wanted a clearly visible mill in the center.
Reconstruction on the original site was not feasible, because the turning basin in the Schie was moved in 1960 for the construction of a new access road with bridge to the center.

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.
……Just a short hop & a skip up the hill from our camp site that we use when visiting North Cornwall and as you can see a 5 minute stroll into Padstow, this is taken on the Saints way. Alan:-)…….

On the edge of the Arabian Desert, Petra was the glittering capital of the Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to 40 A.D.). Masters of water technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnel constructions and water chambers.
