How to place two pictures next to each other?

Question

I added two photos in Latex. I want these two pictures to be placed next to each other. Note that two pictures are appropriate, not two sub-pictures in one picture.

\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figure/a.eps}
    \caption{This is my first picture }
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[t]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{figure/b.eps}
    \caption{This is my second picture. }
\end{figure}
