Spectators in motorboats wait for the racing gondolas to pass during Il Palio Delle Quattro Antiche Repubbliche Marinare, a regatta which pits rowers from each of Italy's maritime republics—Venice, Genoa, Pisa, and Amalfi—against each other. With streets no bigger than sidewalks, rowing is serious business in Venice, which has 42 boating associations and no cars.

The next Palio will be held in Venice in May 2007.

Photograph by Robert W. Madden
A duck leaves a clear trail as it swims through algae-covered waters in Sydney—but the duck isn’t the only "green" lover in this bustling city. Laborers working on Sydney's famed opera house refused to build an underground parking garage next door for fear of killing three historic fig trees in the Botanic Gardens.

Photographer Mike Nichols took this shot while accompanying explorer Michael Fay on his grueling 15-month, 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) trek across Africa to catalog the region’s pristine forests and promote their protection. As a result of Fay’s efforts, President El Hadj Omar Bongo of Gabon set aside more than 10,000 square miles (26,000 square kilometers) of land to form a national park system protecting 13 separate parks.

A man passes one of the lakes of central Afghanistan抯 Band-e-Amir, a series of five mineral-enriched, sapphire lakes that punctuate the dusty, travertine peaks near central Afghanistan抯 Hindu Kush.
Legend has it the lakes were formed by Caliph Ali who miraculously raised the retaining walls to dam a dangerous river, thereby impressing a local pagan king who converted to Islam.
