Awesome photo. It gives a true sense of a time and place.
I wonder who the photographer was and where he and the man praying were going? What is their story? I’m sure it is fascinating! I also wonder how this photo made it into a New York newspaper. It is really an incredible photo, I could stare at it for hours and absorb the calmness.
nice pic![:-)]()

"Fossil evidence indicates that the ancestors of modern camels evolved in North America during the Palaeogene period, and later spread to Asia. Humans first domesticated camels before 2000 BC."
