9th place
Waiting for a Ride

by Helen Betts

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Taken at the Dubai Camel Racetrack, which was simply fascinating. I must have shot a few hundred exposures there, none of which have I yet processed -- we didn't even go to the races, just hung out outside the track and were surrounded by camels and handlers -- but I really liked these four sitting in their truck, waiting patiently to go home.

I haven't yet finished the gallery, but for more pictures from Dubai go to http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/dubai_pearl_of_the_gulf

Thanks, mexiwolf and Denise! I saw these guys sitting there and made my husband come to a screeching halt, jumped out of the car and ran over to photograph them. Their handlers said something to me in a language I didn't recognize (not Arabic, at least) so I didn't know what they wanted but I just went on taking pictures. Finally they gave up and left me alone and I got to know this four quite well, LOL. Helen
