Camels are remarkably sensitive creatures once you get to know them. Sure they are smelly, ungainly and permanently in a bad mood but these are the efficient machines of this landscape. Picking their way through prickly terrain, cautiously positioning each hoof as if barefoot, intuitively following the desired route. They protect you from your own shortcomings which are easily exposed in these conditions.

CAMEL SAFARI
|
Riding a camel: S L O W - M O T I O N. Each landmark casually revealing itself before slipping past. A cactus, a pecked clean skull, a feather, an ancient grave, a lonely well, a single tree... The end of the world.
Yet suddenly a village - mud baked walls enlivened with graphic murals. Children running and shouting "PEN". Shepherds shearing their sheep, offering opium and tea, industrious purpose in this no man's land. |
At the day's end, curving clean from the surronding scrub, sand dunes, artworks of the chaotic wind, absorbs the golden sunset.
Sensuous liquidity of forms. And at night, a mattress under star scattered skies - the heavens as your bedroom. After 3 days our bums didn't half hurt though. We dreamed of a COOL FRESH BEER :-) |
