?it's a topview shot of camels but the sun is at an angle so you see the shadows as though it was walking on the sand?

Each camel appears to be carried by a long-necked lizard or turtle or something?

I know ....I know....! The 'black' camels are actually shadows!. The long necked lizard/turtle is actually the camel!

Am I right?

Eh, not long-necked lizards lah. At first, I thought that was what they were but I couldn't think of any long-necked lizards which looked like that. And it's a National Geographic shot, so there's no trick photography involved. My second look told me that what kress said was right: "it's a topview shot of camels but the sun is at an angle" which accounts for the shadows of the camels on the sand.

Glad u all like it too.. It also took me sometimes to look at it but the pix i have was very small that i can't see what's actually so special, therefore i google search till i found the link where i can zoom the pix.. Then when i discovered i can't resist but to share this pix :)
