Rent a Camel !, a photo from Izmir, Aegean

Photographer's Note

It's a tradition in the Aegean and Mediterranean parts of Turkey that some camel owners rent their camels for short tours or just (like here) for a few minutes to be photographed. In any case you've to pay something.
For a short ride of 10 minutes, 10 Euro's, for a short photographic session only 2 Euro's ! Business is business !

Ege ve Akdeniz yörelerinde özellikle sit alanları civarında sıkça rastlayabileceğiniz bir görüntü bu.
Develerle ya kısza bir tur yapabilirsiniz, ya da bir deveye tırmanıp bir kaç saniyeliğine fotoğrafçıya poz verip hatıra fotoğrafı çektirebilirsiniz.
On dakikalık tur 10 Euro, hatıra fotoğrafı çektirmekise 2 Euro ! Ne demişler, iş iştir !

Merhaba Mesut,

Indeed business is business, with an camel or simple shopping.
A pity that the owner with ladder behind the camel wait for his helping.
Sharpness and clarity are pleasant.
Nice perspective and depth image.
Lovely composition, excellent captured, lovely presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Tebrikler, selamlar,
John

Bonjour, cher Mesut,
Très bonne prise de vue emplie d'humour ! J'aime ce genre de composition, qui rend compte d'un moment de la vie touristique.
Le confort sur le dos de la bête n'est pas équivalent à un fauteuil pullman !
Belle réussite.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Pour 2 euros, il aurait pu enlever l'escabeau! Un moment amusant que tu as bien capturé.
Amicalement

Hi mesut, It is quite nice to ride a camel, but on the desert and not on the street. it reminds me my adventure in Morocco, when my husband sat on a camel and I went at its side with the line. And the beast had bitten me in the arm! Nothing serious of course, camel is vegetarian :).
Amusing shot. Strange there is a ladder here. usually the camels kneel down what is rather unpleasant.
Warm regrads

Bonjour Mesut,

Après avoir tenté l'expérience dans le désert du Sahara, je peux affirmer qu'il n'y a pas de manière très protocolaire de grimper sur un chameau. Cela demeure toutefois toute une expérience.

Amicalement

Lieber Mesut!
Ein fröhliches Bild, aber es ist schon erstaunlich, wofür die Menschen Geld ausgeben. Mir gefällt vor allem die total gleichgültige Körperhaltung des Kamelbesitzersmit seiner Treppenleiter. Herrlich! Gut, dass er zu sehen ist.
10,-- € für 10 Minuten - da kommt was rein...
Alles Gute!
