    U.S. Army Maj. Isaac Peay, from Cassat, S.C., takes photographs while watching camels race in Al Shahaniyah, Qatar, Feb. 21. "Being in a camel owner's car during a race was fascinating," said Peay, enjoying a four-day respite from duty in Iraq by participating in the U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program at a U.S. military installation in Qatar. "Some camels gave out, while others sped up. I saw one really pick up its stride. Everyone was controlling their robot jockeys with remotes and cars were getting all mashed together - it was wild!"
