22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Deserted ferries

On the banks of the Mekong River in the Golden Triangle of Thailand, Burma, and Laos, these abandoned ferries stood moored. Their symmetry was striking, and they offered a hint of missions in a distant past. Between active use and dismantling and destruction, the boats bear mute witness to the gap between past and future.
