31 MARCH 2016 - NA SAK, LAMPANG, THAILAND: A couple prays in the ruins of an old temple in a village in the Mae Chang Reservoir. The Mae Chang Reservoir in Lampang province was created more than 30 years ago when the Chang River was dammed. Five villages along the river were relocated to hillsides above the river. For the first time since it was flooded, the reservoir is nearly empty and the ruins of the old villages are visible. Many people who remember the old villages are coming down to the ruins to visit them. This part of Thailand hasn't received significant rain in months and many irrigation canals and streams are running dry. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
