Thanks to Barði.

    Babaganoosh..on camels…why the heck would there be a solitary, hi res, image of that camel (gaggle, school, herd) middle of wherever…. that’s weird.

    those are National Geographic flyover photos. There’s a “layer” in google Earth which points you to them. They are all very high resolution and generally pretty cool.

    Does anybody know how those of us without Google Earth can find more of these “National Geographic flyover photos?”

    Great find Babaganoosh, that double one is cool! (I should have thought to look in riding schools!)
