 So we were on our way to a camp when SFC K (who drives like a maniac) suddenly turns off the road and starts driving out into the nothingness that is the desert in that part of Kuwait. He'd spotted this sheepherder and his flock and knew I'd want pictures. There was a big water truck, a pickup, three gentlemen, two donkeys, two dogs, and sheep. And the sand was blowing like, well, sand. Quite the interesting adventure. SFC K got out and took the gentlemen cold bottled water (an appreciated gesture) then asked if I could take pictures - and they said I could.

Very nice donkey and sheep. Like the simple background that your environment provided.

lol what friends you have to drive off the beaten path like this.

Where's the manger and camels? lol looks like a Christmas scene at the beginning of preparations.

So the poor donkey was tied off to something? Poor thing - look at how it's looking at you (to rescue it!) Very interesting to see these animals to hold their own in the heat and against the wind.

love the light here, guess sand makes a good diffuser? (I'll refrain from making any 'grainy picture' jokes - after all you pack heat!)
