Camel with solar cells, Djibouti
Didn't know where else to put this, but I felt the urge to share it when I saw it, and thought you slrpnk folks might get a kick out of it!
EDIT: Since there's some skepticism over the panel, the source I got it from:

“The only uncomplaining one is Madoita, the lead camel. He is both warmed and shaded by a $600 blanket of photovoltaic silicon cells. He is a belching, furry, ambulatory wall plug for my satellite phone. We take turns cleaning the dust from these cells with a cloth. A new chore on an ancient caravan trail: Wiping down your solar camel.”
