What Is That?
 # What Is That?

While hiking through the desert in August I came across this pile of unknown goods under a cloth. It looked like someone had left some supplies and covered them up. I was a little hesitant to approach it and see what was inside.

# Can you guess what's inside this mysterious pile?
<p>

# I will reveal it in another post so stay tuned!
<p>

I photographed this thing with my Canon 5D camera and 70-200 mm lens.

Thank you @juliank for creating @photocontests!

It seems to me a dead person, but to not seem so cruel, I will say that it is a person asleep, covering the sun.

I've no idea @otage and I'm not sure if I'd come across it if I would have dared to look. &#128514;

I would not have approached, nor would I have taken a photo ... And that image would give me nightmares. Hahaha

I think it's a dead animal in a sack, someone put it there to decompose.
