Camels

Don't remember where I got this picture, but thought it was one of the coolest pictures I've seen....look closely for the REAL camels.

Well nothing to really get. Most people see the shadows of the camels thinking that is the real camels, instead of the small white things in the picture. Those are actually the camels. Just thought it was a cool picture....

Now if you look again concentrating more on the shadows...the real camels (white things) look like fish that are super-imposed on the pic.

I don't see ANY 'real camels'... only Dromedaries.

Great picture though!

This picture was taken at almost directly overhead. If the photographer had another .5 of degree it would almost be impossible to see any form of the real camels...Dromedaries Some satellite pictures of urban areas are purposely photographed at certain angles to help outline tall buildings. With the advent of radar 3d imaging, they can take the picture at any angle and still get an accurate elevation of objects. Cool stuff....
