Changed gears

We don't know what happened, but instead of passing in front of the judges and circling back to their pens behind the track, suddenly the handlers turned around and went in the other direction, and all the camels followed.

For a video of this camel beauty parade taken by my husband, go here:

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/400s f/10.0 at 70.0mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

I love it, seeing so many camels in a caravan like this. I'll probably never see as many ever again.

I must say, that it is an impressive sight to see all these camels moving so beautifully in formation. V
