    Falcons, Camels, Goats and Sheep

    Going hunting with a falcon. The view of the pigeon needs to be manipulared with some tape so she flies upwards. Once it is released and has gained some ground, the falcon is being sent off. We jump into the cars, the chase is on. The falcon is after the pigeon, we after the falcon. A sandstorm makes it quite hard for falcon, so, to my big surprised he loses the flattering pigeon. But now we have to catch the falcon, so in high speed we race through the sand, through ditches, over dunes, past some camels, across a highway... until the falcon is tired and lands on some structure from where the hungry bird can be lured with some chicken leg.
    After that I am brought to the women's camp, not without a short camel ride on the way.
    And then the women's camp. What can you say, the women generous warm hearted, always ready to laugh, to party, to sing. Always making you feel welcome and at home and part of the family
    Late at night a desert spring mouse came for a visit. I am sure it got some scraps of the bread, prepared just there and eaten like our crepes.
