Memphis, Tennessee, 1999
  William Albert Allard

Throngs of people fill Memphis' Beale Street, famed for its many bars and clubs frequented by some of the greatest names in blues music. As African Americans migrated north from the fields to the cities after the abolition of slavery, their route came to be known as the "blues highway." The port city of Memphis was the first major stop along the way, becoming a spawning ground for blues, jazz, and rock-and-roll.

China, 1974
  Luis Marden

Jagged tower karst formations rise in the distance as the Li River flows past a quiet landscape near Guilin, China.
These karst mountains are what remain of an ancient seabed that was lifted and subsequently eroded away. The formations line much of the Li River and have inspired Chinese poets and artists for centuries. They're also a source of national pride, earning an appearance on the back of China's 20 yuan note.

Michigan, 1997
  Jay Dickman

Decades later, a tree-stump forest still looks as Ernest Hemingway described it in his short story "Big Two-Hearted River." The trees were felled for lumber in the late 1800s, then the stumps charred black by brush fires. The numerous lichens, however, mirror the area's resilience: Trout-rich rivers and stands of birch, aspen, and maple continue to thrive.

密歇根州,1997

几十年后，树桩森林依然象海明威在他的短篇小说“Big Two-Hearted River”里描写的那样。这些树在19世纪末的时候为获得木材而被砍伐，之后树桩被野火烧焦。不管怎样，无数的地衣依然反映出这个区域的复苏：富有鲑鱼的河流旁树立着的白桦、白杨和枫树依然繁茂生长。
