DRY AS A BONE

In the midst of the driest desert on earth, the Atacama in Chile, there is a an abandoned town with a graveyard that no one visits except tourists. It is an amazing place. The bodies have been buried in the earth as well as crypts. The crypts have been vandalized and the bodies exposed. In this high altitude with virtually no rainfall the bodies are well preserved. It was creepy to witness. Although it looks like it is very hot in this photo it was not. The high altitude keeps things pretty cool in November.
