Iguana, Sittee River, Belize, 2007
On Belize's Sittee River, a green iguana poised to spring regards the camera from the corner of its eye. Home to the Western Hemisphere's longest coral reef and hundreds of acres of deciduous, evergreen, swamp, and mangrove forests, Belize is among the richest habitats on Earth, supporting wildlife such as tapirs, jaguars, pumas, crocodiles, turtles, and hundreds of species of birds and amphibians.

Coffee Break, Arizona, United States, 1996
For many people, diner－sand their colorful employees－represent relics of a slower, gentler era. Historians trace the first diner to 1872 in Providence, Rhode Island, where pressman Walter Scott sold food from a horse-drawn wagon parked outside the Providence Journal newspaper office. Nostalgic for the “good old days,” Americans today are fueling a 21st-century diner revival.

喝咖啡休息时间，亚利桑那州，美国，1996
对大多数人来说，餐车店以及其各种肤色的店员代表着一个从容优雅时代的逝去 。史学家们考证，第一台餐车店出现在1872年罗得岛首府普罗维登丝，印刷工沃特斯考特用四轮马车在《普罗维登斯杂志》报社外卖食物。出于对“美好时代”的怀念，美国人使得21世纪的餐车饭店走向复兴。

Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies, 1999
Sunlight filters over the forested seaside cliffs of Trinidad and Tobago. The Caribbean islands, which lie just beyond the tail end of the Windward Antilles, are a study in contrasts. Densely populated Trinidad is an industrial giant with a thriving nightlife; a two-hour ferry ride away, Tobago is a relatively undeveloped, easygoing island that specializes in relaxation.

Fish Tail, French Polynesia, 1997
Even from its tail end, a Napoleon wrasse fish swimming through the waters of French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago is instantly recognizable by the electric blue patterns coating its fins and scales. But these fish are distinctive from any end. Headfirst, they're known for their spiky teeth and plump, swollen lips that absorb the prickles of the bristly reef creatures on which they feed.

注：象形文字（Hieroglyphic）是指纯粹利用图形来作文字使用，而这些文字又与所代表的东西形状上很相像。象形字源自图画文字，但是图画性质减弱，象征性质增强，它是一种最原始的造字方法。约5000年前，古埃及人发明了一种图形文字--圣书体。圣书体写起来既慢又很难看懂，大约在3400年前，埃及人用一种写得较快并且较易使用的字体代替了圣书体。

Aurora Borealis, Acadia National Park, Maine, 2005
Nature light show－aurora borealis－bathes Maine's Acadia National Park in a pink glow. These dazzling patterns in nature, called aurora australis in the Southern Hemisphere, are created when charged particles outside the Earth's atmosphere collide with atoms in the upper atmosphere, producing a glowing display of curtains, arcs, and bands stretching across the sky.

Just-Hatched Froglets, Papua New Guinea, 2001
Carrying out his fatherly duty, a male Oreophryne frog in Papua, New Guinea, guards his clutch and two newly hatched froglets that rest atop the egg mass. Like many of the Microhylidae family, these frogs bypass the tadpole stage, developing fully within the egg. Male frogs embrace their clutch each night to keep the eggs moist and protect them from predators such as insects.

Yawning Cheetah, Okavango Delta, Botswana, 1999
The world's fastest land animal takes a moment to relax with a yawn on Botswana's Okavango Delta. The teeth of these fleet-footed predators are too small to use as daggers for large kill, but the cats have strong jaws that lock around the throat of prey until the victim stops breathing.

Lights on Street, Key West, Florida, 1999
Headlights leave a stream of light in a time-exposed photograph of a busy Key West street. Key West is also known as the Conch Republic, a reference to a mock secession the island staged in protest of an April 23, 1982, roadblock the U.S. Border Patrol set up en route to Keys' West. When complaints that the roadblock hurt tourism went unanswered, the island's mayor declared the Keys independence from the U.S.

街灯，西屿，佛罗里达，1999
西屿市一条繁忙的大街上,车灯在长时间曝光的照片中留下条条光带，西屿因海螺共和国闻名于世，１９８２年４月２３日西屿宣布独立，当初宣布脱离美国联邦government是因为它不满联邦government在西屿北方公路上设置边境路障，抗议没有得到回应，该市市长宣布该岛从美利坚合众国独立。
注：神奇的海螺共和国是一个奇迹，联邦government在西屿北方公路上设置边境路障，盘查偷渡客和毒贩，造成西屿通往佛罗里达州本土唯一的道路大塞车。当地居民进出本土必须证明他们的美国公民身份，使当地人产生被当成外国人的感觉。为了解决边境路障问题，西屿市长瓦洛和居民，前往迈阿密联邦法院，要求停止边境路障，但没有结果。
次日中午，瓦洛等人就在西屿宣布脱离美国联邦，并宣布“海螺共和国”正式成立。瓦洛成为共和国总理，接管海军在西屿的基地，并要求美国government提供一亿美元的“外援”。从１９９３起，“海螺共和国”开始发行“国民护照”和“外交护照”。

Blue Mosque, Iran, 1999
A tranquil reflecting pool mirrors a blue-tiled mosque in Iran. An Islamic republic since the country's autocratic monarchy was overthrown in 1978, Iran is ruled by a supreme religious leadership that controls most aspects of Iranian society. But a youthful populace—70 percent of Iranians are under 30—with increasing access to Western media is beginning to push against its boundaries.

Leopard Seal With a Penguin, Antarctic Peninsula, 2006
Photographer Paul Nicklen watched as this 12-foot-long (3.7-meter-long) female leopard seal toyed with her catch, a live penguin chick. "She dropped it on my camera," he said. "Then she opened her mouth and engulfed the camera－and most of my head. After 45 minutes of more threats, she finally relaxed and ate."

Workers Planting Rice, India, 2003
Women from India's so-called Untouchable caste plant rice in a large field. C**igned by birth to the lowest social strata, Untouchables number some 160 million, about 15 percent of India's people. C**idered impure by Hindu law, they are generally permitted to perform only the most menial jobs.

种水稻的人, 印度, 2003
一群低等种姓的印度妇女在一块广茂的田野里种植水稻。低等种姓的社会身份通过血缘继承，这些处在社会最底层的“贱民”在全印度约有1.6亿，约占印度总人口的15％。根据印度种姓制度，他们被认为是肮脏的，只能从事最累最脏的工作。
注：种姓制度（caste system）是对社会群体的宗教划分，古代印度人被分为四个种姓。
婆罗门：代表神庙的宗教官员
刹帝利：代表帝王将相；
吠舍：代表平民；
首陀罗：代表奴隶。
此外，还有比首陀罗更低，不入流的「贱民」，成份是打仗的战俘，以及不遵守种姓制度而结合的人。
种姓制度的产生于印度-雅利安人侵入七河流域，英国殖民者入侵印度后，种姓制度继续存在，印度独立以後，废除了种姓制度，但是今天的印度社会仍然保留著种姓制度的残迹，维护种姓制度的经典法律为《摩奴法典》。 |
