31 MAY 2016 - SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA: The Tara beached just beyond a village a few miles from the Tonle Sap Lake. The Tara is a river freighter and passenger boat assembled in Vietnam, then a French colony, in 1927. Most recently it's used to take tourists on dinner cruises on the Tonle Sap Lake. Because of the drought in Cambodia, the Tara is beached and unable to navigate the nearly empty canals that lead to the Tonle Sap Lake. The boat's owners are repairing and refurbishing it while it's beached and hope that the coming rainy season will flood the canal enough to let the Tara get back to the lake. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
