Monks walk along ancient teak bridge at Amarapura
Monks walk along an ancient teak bridge at Amarapura, 15 km (9 miles) southwest of Mandalay, in military-ruled Myanmar February 21, 2008. Although the former Burmas revered monkhood remains furious at Septembers bloody crackdown on monks and pro-democracy protesters, a repeat of the demonstrations looks unlikely, with key Buddhist leaders behind bars or defrocked, activists say.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken by Ed Cropley in 2008, a group of monks gracefully traverse an ancient teak bridge at Amarapura, located southwest of Mandalay in Myanmar. The image captures the serene and timeless beauty of these spiritual figures as they walk with purpose and tranquility. However, behind this peaceful scene lies a country grappling with political turmoil. At the time of the photograph, military rule dominated Myanmar's landscape. Just months prior to this moment frozen in time, September 2007 witnessed a brutal crackdown on both monks and pro-democracy protesters. The revered monkhood was left outraged by these violent events. Despite their fury, activists suggest that another wave of demonstrations seems unlikely due to the imprisonment or defrocking of key Buddhist leaders who would have been instrumental in mobilizing such protests. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst oppression and uncertainty, moments of serenity can still be found. It encapsulates the resilience and determination exhibited by those who seek change while also highlighting the rich cultural heritage embodied by Myanmar's ancient structures and traditions. Ed Cropley's skillful lens has captured not only an aesthetically pleasing composition but also a snapshot into a complex period in Myanmar's history where spirituality coexists with political unrest.
