ABLE BEACH, just north of pearling and tourist town

Broome on the Kimberley coast, Western Australia, has

become world-renowned for sunset camel rides, since

the ‘ships of the desert’ were first brought here in the 1980s.

Late afternoon images of the activity have spread across the

globe, but don’t often show this perspective. Shooting from

above captures perfect camel-shaped shadows, cast eastwards

across the golden sands of the 22km-long beach by the Sun

setting over the Indian Ocean.

Drones. Love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no doubt they are changing the way we do and see many things.

You may baulk at the sight of a drone flying around in the great outdoors, but this technology is providing us

with amazing new perspectives on familiar landscapes.
