Why do the shadows have shadows? It doesn’t matter what angle the sun is at, there can’t be 2 shadows of the same animal.

I found 3 camels with two humps but its quite hard to see the second hump in the shadows.
As for finding the camels with riders I wasn't quite shore what to look for. I mean, where abouts on the camel would the rider be?

Really good photo by the way.

Reply to joe: one reason why the shadows of particular Camels do not cross those that are near by may be, every Camel isnt the same height, there could be a shorter camel next to a taller one. it also depends on the geography of the land as well. Because it is a “satelite” shot, it is dificult to see whether certain Camels are higher up due to higher points in the dunes.
