Sydney Skyline from Mrs. Macquarie's point, #Sydney, #Australia, 2018. Mrs. Macquarie was the wife of Major-General Lachlan Macquarie, Governor of New South Wales from 1810 to 1821. Legend says that she used to sit on the rock and watch for ships sailing into the harbor.

The terraces of Yemen have been used for growing crops since 3000 BCE. This unpublished picture was included in my sister's new book, Steve McCurry: A Life in Pictures. She selected it so that people would be able to see and appreciate the ingenuity of the ancient Yemeni farmers despite years of war and political upheavals which have degraded many of the ancient terraces.

#AngkorWat, #Cambodia, 1999. This pensive boy huddles under a statue of a mythological creature to get shelter from the unrelenting monsoon rains. His pose reminds me of Auguste Rodin's sculpture of The Thinker, first displayed in 1904.

Humans have used elephants as beasts of burden for at least 4,000 years. This mahout trained his elephant for harvesting teak in #Myanmar. After decades of research, scientists have the data to prove that elephants are more intelligent, social, and empathetic than previously understood. Some try to rationalize keeping them in captivity, but it is virtually impossible to make that argument today. I hope that in time, people will find it impossible to believe that we ever kept these magnificent creatures from their natural habitat, which is the wild.

Teenagers ride in a convertible during the Burmese New Year Festival called Thingyan in #Yangon, #Myanmar, 1994. The festival usually occurs in middle of April. Water-throwing and dousing one another is the distinguishing feature of this festival.

The boy’s mothers dress them up and apply the makeup to evoke the Siddhartha, who was said to be a prince before he was led to becoming a Buddha. The boys generally stay at the monastery for a few weeks or a few months, #Myanmar, 2011.
