Photo by chien_chi_chang / Bagan, Myanmar, 2009. A monk walks along a dusty road in Bagan, an ancient capital–and a sight to rival Cambodia's Angkor Wat. The area once held 13,000 pagodas dating back to the second century A.D., many built of brick that was plastered and painted. Earthquakes and the Ayeyarwady River destroyed more than 10,000 of them. #MagnumPhotos
