Description
This cave is one of many unusual rock formations on Incahuasi Island in the middle of Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat. The huge cacti found on islands in the Salar are Echinopsis atacamensis (pasacana subspecies) which grow in Bolivia and northern Argentina. The peak on the horizon is the Tunupa volcano (5368m / 17,715ft), which dominates views across to the northern shore of the Salar.

Very interesting photograph you have captured James. I think I see a reverse silhouette of old Saint Nick with bag of goody over his shoulders. James maybe it would be a good idea to add this scene to you Christmas card gallery for people the love or live in the desert. I always enjoy seeing your talented photography from around the world and reading your description of them. Keep up the good work.
