A Cemetery Outside Uchkuduk

Somehow Uchkuduk, a tiny mining town in the middle of nowhere, is big enough to locate its cemetery about 10 minutes out of town, way in the Kyzyl Kum Desert. Buried beyond the middle of nowhere.

Approaching the cemetery. Nothing, and then graves.

Arms race of appealing family mausoleums.

Inside a typical mausoleum, the traditional, simple Muslim grave mound and markers.

Cemented details. Soda bottles, permanent flower vases. Tea set, mounted.

Plenty of room for growth (death).
