Tombs, Not Craters: what appears to be a section of the moon’s surface is actually an aerial view of circular tombs built near the city of Hue, South Vietnam. The tombs, built above the level of surrounding sand flats, are unique to central part of the country. Criss-crossing the graveyard are paths which connect villages with nearby rice paddies
