MORNING ROOFTOPS

Day begins in Varanasi, the holiest city in India for Hindus. Located on the banks of the holy river Ganges, millions of pilgrims visit each year to bathe in the sacred waters. "Being the oldest continuously inhabited city in India, Varanasi is chaotic and colorful, intense and frenetic," says Your Shot photographer Yan Li. "Although it is the holiest place for Hindus, the daily life of locals has no difference compared to ours."

“What really attracted me to this image, besides the interesting perspective was all the stories happening within this photo. There are several subjects going about their day or taking a nap in this image and I was just fascinated by everything happening in this frame.”
— Matt Adams, Producer of National Geographic

PROTECT AND DEFEND - Being a park ranger in Ethiopia's Mago National Park is serious business. The men and women who take on this work risk their lives to defend the land and animals, like elephants and giraffes, from poachers.

“A very strong and intense portrait. Great idea to frame this image within the inside of the vehicle, Yan. After learning about many park rangers who risk their lives for that of wildlife’s and to end poaching I’m amazed by these men and women. Love the expression you captured here as his face tells part of his story and his personality.”
