Ilan, Taiwan, 1993
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
A stretch of open road in Taiwan lies empty due to heavy rains that canceled that year抯 Dragon Boat Festival. This festival, held in the small northeast village of Ilan, features dragon boat races, firecrackers, and throngs of cheering spectators. Even as it forges forward with booming industries and soaring skyscrapers, Taiwan struggles to preserve fleeting tokens of its ancient heritage.

宜兰,台湾,1993
一场大雨使得这条位于台湾的笔直大路变得空旷，当年的龙舟节也因之取消。这场盛会在宜兰东北方的村落里举行，特点是赛龙舟，鞭炮，和欢呼雀跃的观众。
尽管台湾铸就了蓬勃发展的工业和拔地而起的摩天大楼，其同样也在努力保护那些正迅速流逝的古代传统的象征。

Photograph by Vincent J. Musi
Framed by overgrowth, a fractured mirror clinging to an abandoned car reflects the Arizona countryside along historic Route 66. Now mostly abandoned, Route 66 was the primary route between Chicago and Los Angeles in the mid-twentieth century, a route especially popular with Dust Bowl migrants.

Afghanistan, 1968
Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
Camels cast shadows across the Qala-e-Bost arch in southern Afghanistan’s Helmand province. The 11th century arch, which appears on the 100 Afghani note, marks the principal approach to the ancient fortress citadel of Bost, later renamed Lashkar Gah.
Over the centuries, the city bore multiple assaults by the Ghorids, Genghis Khan, and Tamerlane. Today it is the capital of the Helmand province.

Queensland, Australia, 1996
Photograph by Sam Abell
Despite the region's inhospitable climate—five months of torrential rains followed by seven months of drought, plus infertile soil and frequent lightning-sparked bush blazes—Cape York Peninsula is home to 379 rare or endangered plant species. The region is one of Australia's most complex ecosystems, with rain forest, grassland, wetland, and scrub coexisting in close quarters.

昆士兰州,澳大利亚,1996
尽管约克角半岛有着恶劣的气候---五个月的暴雨紧接着七个月的干旱，
外加贫瘠的土壤和频繁的闪电引起的灌木火灾，这里仍旧是379种稀有或濒临绝种的植物的产地。这片地区是澳大利亚最复杂的生态系统之一，雨林，草地，湿地和灌木丛共存于咫尺之遥。

Photograph by Flip Nicklin
A bearded seal relaxes near the edge of an ice floe in the Arctic Ocean near Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago. These seals, which are rarely found in groups, spend most of their time in the water. Even at one week old, bearded seal pups can dive for five full minutes to depths of 250 feet (76 meters).

斯瓦尔巴特群岛,挪威,1997
在靠近挪威的斯瓦尔巴群岛的北冰洋上，一头留着小胡子的海豹正在一块浮冰边上偷闲。
海豹们很少聚会，它们大部分时间里都在泡澡。就算只有一周大的胡子海豹，也可以轻松潜水5分钟，深至250英尺(76米)。
