[Leica] IMGS: Kharanaq

[Tina Manley]

There are still some elderly people living in the houses closest to the
highway.  All of the rest of the village is abandoned and crumbling.  They
say that there are valuable minerals in the ground here and the village
will soon be torn down to mine the minerals.

Thanks for looking!!
