Desert Wildlife, Atacama Desert, Chile, 2003
Birds perch on a cactus as a gray fox warily stands below in Chile's Atacama Desert. Rain rarely falls on the Atacama coastline, but dense fog known as camanchaca is abundant. The fog nourishes plant communities from cactuses to ferns.

Mother Camel and Baby, Sahara, Chad, 1999
A young dromedary camel peeks underneath its mother as she casually drinks in the Guelta Arche, a steep canyon in the Chadian Sahara. But camels beware. These isolated waters hold a zoological surprise: Algae, fertilized by camel droppings, are eaten by fish that are preyed upon by a group of crocodiles.

骆驼母子，撒哈拉，乍得，1999
格尔塔是乍得撒哈拉沙漠里一个陡峭的峡谷，骆驼妈妈正在悠闲的饮水，一只年幼的单峰骆驼躲在后面偷看。但是骆驼都很警觉的。从动物学角度上来说，这些零星的水塘令人非常惊讶：骆驼的排泄物滋养了水藻，水里的鱼吃掉水藻，鳄鱼群又以捕鱼为生。

Rainbow, Denali National Park, Alaska, 2001
A double rainbow plunges into a gorge in Alaska Denali National Park. Although they appear to exist at a definable point in the sky, a rainbow position is actually dependent on the location of the observer relative to the sun.

Boats at Sunset, Kangerluk Fjord, Greenland, 2006
The day last light illuminates the boats and tents of narwhal hunters on Greenland Kangerluk Fjord. Narwhals come to Greenland fjords in July and August to calve and feed. Landing these elusive tusked whales presents extreme dangers for Greenlanders, whose low-riding kayaks can easily capsize in the process.

Snow rimes the classic dome- and spire-studded skyline of Salzburg, Austria. This elegant city's unique architecture is the legacy of a long line of prince-archbishops, powerful ecclesiastical rulers who used profits from the city's nearby salt mines to turn their seat of power into a little piece of Baroque Italy transported to the Austrian Alps.

Twin Bolts of Lightning, Grand Canyon, Arizona, 2006
Twin bolts of lightning reach for the depths of the Grand Canyon near Point Sublime. This scenic area on the canyon's North Rim is not as easily accessible as other lookouts. But for those willing to make the two-hour trip by 4WD vehicle, the vistas are among the best the park has to offer.

两道闪电，大峡谷，亚利桑那州，2006
两道闪电直插靠近坡恩特山峰的大峡谷里。在大峡谷南缘，这番景象是很难看到的。而对于那些自驾四轮越野车跋涉2小时来到这里的人们来说，这一路的景色可是大峡谷国家公园最棒的。

Tribal Leaders, Saudi Arabia, 2003
Tribal leaders gather around a fire in the tent of a prominent sheik in Saudi Arabia. Such meetings, called majlis, are customary throughout the kingdom. They can be simple social gatherings or, if the host is powerful, an official audience, where a Bedouin camel herder asking help with a grazing issue might be followed by a billionaire property baron requesting a c**truction permit.

部落首领，沙特阿拉伯，2003
沙特阿拉伯显赫的酋长帐篷里，几位部落首领聚集在火堆旁。这类会议（也叫做议会）是该王国上上下下的风俗惯例。部落首领聚集于此可以是单纯的社交集会，如果主办者有权有势，这种集会也可以变成官方觐见。比如一个亿万资产的大老板申请一处建筑用地，紧接着骑骆驼放牧的贝多因部落族人就会以放牧地占用的问题来此集会寻求解决之道。
