Over The Shadows
We tend to see Camel farms and huts of those who look after the farm in almost every desert of UAE. This magnificent picture was captured during my journey to Liwa-AbuDhabi, which portraits the sight of a stray camel being returned to the herd by its master. Mesmerising sunset even added more beauty to this picture over the layer of shadows of the desert. Liwa – UAE 14/02/2020

Camels are those that are suitable for travel and loads, and the image is associated with travel and trekking in the desert on camels, sometimes riding camels and walking with them at other times.
