We took a road that was supposed to take us to the next town, but it ended up being a 3 hour detour. Along the way we passed by this very odd sight. Tibetans use large sea shells as horns... and that is the only relationship that we can think of. We have asked other people and this shot has perplexed them as well. It is a fabricated shell, chained to this old, dead tree along the side of the road..... your guess is as good as mine but I think the photograph is kind of cool.
