Death in the desert

South Kazakhstan

One morning I was riding in the KyzylKhum desert wondering if anyone crashes to the numerous camels living in the desert and on the side of the road. 10 minutes later I arrived to a camel crash scene.

The car was really badly smashed and apparently the driver had died and taken away already. The severely injured camel was still alive though when I arrived, but was very soon slaughtered and taken away too. People asked me to take pictures of the slaughtering and so I did. Six people hold the camel still when one slit its throat open. Seeing the death of such a big animal is was a really powerful experience, especially in the scene where was just a bit earlier apparently a dead man too.
