Photo by simonnorfolkstudio | Today is the 134th anniversary of National Geographic. To celebrate, we’re highlighting some of our most memorable photos through the years.

The ancient city of Uxmal, on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, continued to flourish well after other Maya centers of the Classic period. Lighting the ruins like a movie set and shooting them at night illuminated the ornate roof combs and other details of the ninth-century House of the Doves.
