Another great photo;I love the camera angle.Somehow luotuo suits the camel really well.Think I'll remember this one easily.I like the way you are giving the photo credits.I presume this is because you are polite and not because it's a legal requirement ? When are we going to see a Calkins original?

Yeah, more out of politeness than for legal reasons.  If I can find the photographer's name, I like to include it out of respect for their hard work.

I suspect I'll use a few of my photos once I finally move over to the Far East side.....which hopefully will be within the next month [crossing fingers].  But then I'm worried I'll never be on CPod.  No wait, I'm far too addicted for that!

我昨天看了四峰骆驼。

I didn't know at all that "峰" (peak, summit) was a measure word for camels, although it looks like that 一只骆驼 is actually much more commonly used than 一峰骆驼.

Anyway, it's a very graphic (and hilarious) expression. Interestingly, "one camel" is called "一峰骆驼" regardless of whether it has one hump （峰） or two humps, hehe.
