In your face


Although not of great photo interest or reflective thoughts like recent posts, this close up shot is from a up close camel that was resting for packing when I encountered him in a bazaar while on a quick trip to Morocco, Africa. It has always been a 'fun' shot for me as I just love the comedy in their faces with their fleshy snout, rubbery nose and long eye lashes, designed to keep the blowing sand storms at bay. The personality of most is far from comedic though and this was no exception. While I avoided getting bitten after getting so close, he did manage to gather some spit and send it in my direction. All in a day's work for the both of us.
