Dhaka, Bangladesh
1991
James P. Blair
"For a luscious break from August temperatures that average 29ºC, a young herder does refreshing backflips off water buffalo taking their daily bath in the Turag River just west of Dhaka. Though waters near the capital are polluted by oils, dyes, chemicals, and sewage, most of the nation's roughly 250 rivers are wide enough or fast enough during the monsoon to flush out impurities."
