The race was organized by the Begay family of Steamboat, AZ and run on private land about three miles from a paved road.  Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 14 JULY 2015 - THAILAND:  A horse grazes in a parched rice field in Pathum Thani province. The drought that has crippled agriculture in central Thailand is now impacting residential areas near Bangkok. The Thai government is reporting that more than 250,000 homes in the provinces surrounding Bangkok have had their domestic water cut because the canals that supply water to local treatment plants were too low to feed the plants. Local government agencies and the Thai army are trucking water to impacted communities and homes. Roads in the area have started collapsing because of subsidence caused by the retreating waters. Central Thailand is contending with drought. By one estimate, about 80 percent of Thailand's agricultural land is in drought like conditions and farmers have been told to stop planting new acreage of rice, the area's principal cash crop.

  • 14 JULY 2012 - FT DEFIANCE, AZ:  A man works with a horse during a horsemanship clinic at the 23rd annual Navajo Nation Camp Meeting in Ft. Defiance, north of Window Rock, AZ, on the Navajo reservation. Preachers from across the Navajo Nation, and the western US, come to Navajo Nation Camp Meeting to preach an evangelical form of Christianity. Evangelical Christians make up a growing part of the reservation - there are now more than a hundred camp meetings and tent revivals on the reservation every year. The camp meeting in Ft. Defiance draws nearly 200 people each night of its six day run. Many of the attendees convert to evangelical Christianity from traditional Navajo beliefs, Catholicism or Mormonism. "Camp meetings" are a form of Protestant Christian religious services originating in Britain and once common in rural parts of the United States. People would travel a great distance to a particular site to camp out, listen to itinerant preachers, and pray. This suited the rural life, before cars and highways were common, because rural areas often lacked traditional churches.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 14 JULY 2015 - THAILAND:  A horse grazes in a parched rice field in Pathum Thani province. The drought that has crippled agriculture in central Thailand is now impacting residential areas near Bangkok. The Thai government is reporting that more than 250,000 homes in the provinces surrounding Bangkok have had their domestic water cut because the canals that supply water to local treatment plants were too low to feed the plants. Local government agencies and the Thai army are trucking water to impacted communities and homes. Roads in the area have started collapsing because of subsidence caused by the retreating waters. Central Thailand is contending with drought. By one estimate, about 80 percent of Thailand's agricultural land is in drought like conditions and farmers have been told to stop planting new acreage of rice, the area's principal cash crop.
