Here By Glimpses Known

Because we were on the road Wednesday, here is your glimpse of Egypt a few days late.

"Hey, look! There's the Nile!"

This is hilarious. May I cross post it on Tumblr?

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

You may. :D

Fantastic. Classic image.

It is very Egypt, even though this is the first time I've seen adult dromedaries hauled about this way. :P

This is funny and also baffling in practical way: how did the camels fit in there?

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

It is hard to imagine how they got them all to sit, crowded in there like that.

[khiemtran.livejournal.com]

What a great picture! There does seem to be more camel than should fit in that truck... How many heads do they normally have?

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

LOL.

I really would have liked to watch them being loaded.

Brought to you by your local camel transport. :p

PS. They look quite serene and laid back. I'm guessing they're a lot less skittish than horses.

I don't think animals have a right to be skittish in Egypt. :P

I don't think any animals have a right to be skittish in Egypt. It is either bred or beaten out of them. :-/

Bred, good idea. Beaten... :(

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I don't understand the brute beating. The people depend on the animals for their livelihood and yet treat them abominably. SOME people, not all....just too many.

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Awful. Not to mention that you get so much more out of an animal if you treat it properly.

I love this photo.

We were happily in the right place at the right time and had the camera at hand. :D
