One of the camels has not only a pack on its back.
If you look closly, you will see, that there is a person sitting on that camel.

The camels aren’t “roaming” – one of them has a pack on its back. Unless they’re hitch-hiking?

Todd,
delete Google Earth and everything associtated with it (like Preferences) and re-install it.
This might help. Maybe. Just an idea.

Portland, Oregon goes up to level 20, though the maps.google.com interface only gives you 19. Funny, I could swear it used to go all the way down..

they're all the lines radiating from the center in this picture. It seems the only way I can get them to go away, is to turn off the borders. But I need the borders, so that gets me nowhere.

On an unrelated tangent, does anyone know what those annoying spasmatic white shapes are on Google Earth when you first download it?

You should definitely visit this article which gives you a link to a Google Earth file showing the locations of some of the best locations of the African photos including those of animals (like elephants, hippos, camels, etc.) all categorized by type:

I’ve seen t hat camel image before – Snopes.

Ok, it’s not the same one, but almost. If you don’t zoom in, you might think that the black camel shapes ARE the camels. But they’re merely the shadows..
