Camels, camels and more camels

Camels are still in Bahrain in a few herds. We don't see them often, but we see them in the darnedest places. For instance, I travel on a 6 lane highway when I go to the Bahrain School, and each time I pass the sign in the photo below. I have only seen the camels and their herder in that spot, twice, and only captured it on film once.

When David was working in Saudi, he drove over the 5 mile Causeway (below) from Bahrain to Saudi Arabia. This photo was taken from the restaurant atop a tower on an island in the middle of the expanse. Morning and evening, David would have to go through immigration formalities, (long lines of cars, waiting to have one's passport stamped) on the Bahrain side, and then, ditto, before entering Saudi.

One day he captured the photo below. Guess who has the right of way!! Who goes to the head of the line? Who needs a passport?

Then there is the post morning prayer congregation.
