Sand Camels by George Steinmetz

Amazing photo by G. Steinmetz. Look closely..
Only then will you notice that the photo was taken right above the camels, which rather seem like white lines, while the shadows are clearly visible and appear as their silhouettes in profile.

Taken in February 2004 on assignment for National Geographic, this photograph shows a unique aerial perspective of The Empty Quarter, the world's largest sand desert.

George Steinmetz took the picture looking straight down while piloting his motorized paraglider near Wadi Mitan, a remote part of Oman close to where Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Yemen meet.

Since it first appeared in National Geographic, it has been included in numerous additional publications and exhibitions.
