22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Ship Of The Desert
In this photo taken at the pyramids, the camel, famously known as the "Ship of the Desert," appears in all its majesty. This title, earned for its role as the primary means of transportation in ancient deserts, reflects its deep connection to the desert, as if it were a ship cutting through waves of sand. The image highlights the camel's unique ability to endure the harshness and ruggedness of the desert environment.
