There are so many "lines" leading to the vanishing point in this composition for a fantastic sense of perspective. Even the angle of the camel and its line of vision become part of the perspective. I love the "story" implied in your title, also...an amusing thought and full of possible stories:) Well done!

Okay Freddie.... thanks for the quote - we consider ourselves warned!
Why not, all the colours in this picture were probably not fastly different from the sepia - or were they?
Good presentation and you do good in presenting a variety of postings.
Thanks

Hello Fred.
This is fabulous picture. I love the POV and composition. Very adequate tones for the place it was taken. And your title made me laugh.
