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.

Sydney, Australia, 1978
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.

悉尼，澳大利亚，1978
悉尼，一只鸭子在被水藻覆盖的水面上游过时留下一条清晰的痕迹。
但鸭子并不是这个繁忙城市里唯一一个“绿色”爱好者，建造悉尼歌剧院的工人曾因怕伤害到植物园中三棵著名的无花果树，而拒绝在隔壁建造一个地下停车场。

Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
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.

阿富汗,1968
一名男子正穿过阿富汗中心的Band-e-Amir湖的其中一湖，Band-e-Amir湖是连续的五座富含矿物质的蓝色湖泊。这些湖泊位于阿富汗兴都库什中心附近的那些尘土飞扬的石头山之间。相传这些湖是因哈里发阿里产生的，他奇迹般的建造出了土堤以阻挡一条危险的河流，这也使得当地的一位异教徒国王皈依了穆斯林。
