Euphrates and the Children
Children walk to school next to the Euphrates River. It is hard to tell,
but one of the children is waving at me and I am returning his wave.
By the way, my fifth NYT Select article went live a couple of days ago. You can read it here. It is titled, Junkyards of War.

Let me take this opportunity to say how much I have been enjoying your pictures. This particular one couples the children, whom I have so loved seeing as just kids, and almost unbelievably the the ancient fertile crescent brought forward thousands of years to the present. It almost staggers the imagination.
I appreciate the fact that the marine out front has his gun turned down in the presence of the children.
It is not at all cliché to say “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Thank-you so much for sharing your pictures with us.
