South Africa, 1996
Photograph by Chris Johns
"Homo sapiens flood the beach on New Year's Day at Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, where, thanks to the Natal Parks Board's good neighbor policy, admission is free for local residents. South Africa's torrid zone, northern KwaZulu-Natal teems with tropical life. Along its normally empty beaches sea turtles are making a comeback."
(Text and photograph from "A Place for Parks in the New South Africa," July 1996, National Geographic magazine)

1996年Chris Johns摄于南非,
   "现代智人们,在元旦这天,占满了圣路西亚湿地 (Greater St. Lucia Wetland)公园的海滩,这要感谢纳涛(Natal)公园管理局的亲和政策,允许当地的居民自由出入此地.作为南非的酷热地区,北卡瓦祖鲁-纳涛 (Kwazulu-Natal)到处都有热带生物.而此刻,沿着这些通常很清静的海滩,海龟们正在盘算如何回来."

A partial solar eclipse is visible through the clouds that cover North Rustico beach on Prince Edward Island, Canada's smallest province. Sheltered from the sometimes harsh North Atlantic storms, Prince Edward Island stretches 140 miles (225 kilometers) into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and enjoys a warm climate and sandy soil梘ood for both farming and tourism.

A Baluchi woman wears a traditional red mask to conceal her features from public view. Iranian women are, in fact, among the most educated and accomplished in the Muslim world. Before the 1979 revolution 35 percent of women were literate; now the rate stands at 74 percent. In 1999, one in three Iranian physicians was a woman.

North Florida Springs, 1998
Photograph by Wes Skiles
A flexible and graceful swimmer, the West Indian manatee migrates annually to Florida's coastal waters. This balmy winter retreat unfortunately holds a palpable danger for these gentle creatures. In 2005, collisions with watercraft and other human-related accidents accounted for nearly 25 percent of all manatee deaths in Florida according to the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Boating speed limits and the creation of sanctuaries are just some of the protections put into place by state and federal lawmakers to help save the endangered manatee.

Greenwich, England, 1985
Photograph by Bruce Dale
"One hop bridges east and west at Greenwich, England, where a brass strip marks zero longitude. First used by sailors to fix their position, Greenwich mean time was adopted by railroads and, after 1884, worldwide as the standard for time of day. Time is now set not by earth's rotation, but by satellite and atomic clock."

1985年Bruce Dale摄于英格兰 格林威治
"一下蹦达,跨越了东西半球.在英格兰,格林威治,这条嵌在地上的铜道道是零度经线的标记.最早被用于海员们确定自己的方位,格林威治标准时还被铁路运输和1884年以后的全世界接受,成为每天的时间标准.现在,时间不再以地球的自转来设定,而是使用卫星和原子钟来确定."
