Graveyard, Nokhur Mountain Village, Turkmenistan.

 

Local tradition has it that people get buried not only next to a gravestone but a gravestone that have been decorated with the horns of a ram. These are captured wild in the areas surrounding the village. Nowhere else in Turkmenistan do people do this and no one really knows why or when it began. Anyhow, it made for a pretty impressive view.
