Statue of Liberty Monument, New York Harbor, 1985
Photograph by Robb Kendrick
"'Liberty Enlightening the World.'

So (Frédéric-Auguste) Bartholdi named his copper-skinned goddess, lifting a torch and stepping out of broken shackles. Her tablet, a meaningful symbol to his fellow Freemasons, represents the rule of law and is inscribed in Roman numerals July 4, 1776. To hold this 151-foot [46-meter] statue against the Atlantic gales, he called on the brilliant bridge engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel for the tallest iron support of its day."
(Text adapted from "Liberty Lifts Her Lamp Once More," July 1986, National Geographic magazine)
自由女神像，纽约港，1985
“自由照耀世界”
巴托尔迪，弗雷德里克·奥古斯特：(1834-1904,法国雕刻家)以此为他的“铜肤女神”命名，她高举着火把挣脱桎梏。她手上的写字板是互济会会员的一种象征符号，象征着法制，并用罗马数字记下了1776年7月4日。为了使这个46米高的雕像能够抵抗大西洋的风，他还请来了著名的桥梁工程师Alexandre Gustave Eiffel进行支持。

Ténéré desert, Niger, 1997
Photograph by George Steinmetz
"Mushroom cloud of stone erupts in the Ténéré desert, remnant of its watery past. This pedestal rock began as a mass of pebbly sandstone. Its sculptors were cycles of hot and cold, wet and dry, as well as blowing sand, which caused the sloughing off of shards scattered at the base."

泰内雷沙漠，尼日尔，1997
蘑菇云形的石头在泰内雷沙漠中突现，这是它潮湿过去的残余(海底或湖底)。
它最初是一块卵形沙岩。不断的热与冷、湿和干的变幻造就了它的外形，而风沙吹散了它脱落的碎片。

With crowns of flowers in their hair, Tahitian women watch an outrigger canoe race, part of Tahiti's most important festival, Heiva i Tahiti. Held annually from mid-June to mid-July, this festival coincides with French Polynesia's Autonomy Celebration on June 29th and France's Bastille Day on July 14th and is just one way French Polynesians are keeping their culture alive with traditional dances, fire walking competitions, and typical Tahitian sports races (like palm-tree climbing and stone lifting).
