Beware, could be a disturbing picture. It's the sky burial of Tibetan culture. A funeral practice to place the human corpse on a mountaintop to decompose and be eaten by animals (especially birds, meaning that the soul has ben taken up to the sky). Pic was taken in Langmusi, Amdo Tibet, September 2017.
