Along the Indian River, Dominica, 1996
Photograph by Michael Melford
A bois mang tree grows along the banks of the Indian River. With a life span of 150 years, these 100-foot- (30-meter-) tall trees are supported by sinewy, buttressed roots that wind in and amongst themselves. The roots don't just support the riverbank, they are the riverbank, making the ground beyond look like a wall-to-wall carpet of wooden eels.

印度河沿岸，多米尼克，1996
一株bois mang树在印度河岸边生长。这些生长了150年的，30米高的树由粗大根部支撑。这些根不靠河岸支撑，它们就是河岸，使得大地看上去就象长着一堵堵的墙一样。

"octurnal crawler, a scorpion remains well camouflaged under a flash-light's beam, but fluoresces in ultraviolet light [as seen here], a reaction that remains a mystery to scientists."

地点未知,1978年
作为夜行动物，一只蝎子在手电筒的光下可以隐藏地很好，但是在紫外光线的照射下却会发出荧光，这是科学还未知晓原因的一种反应。

Intense hurricane winds pummel the shoreline. This rotating storm that carries winds of at least 74 miles (119 kilometers) an hour is called a "hurricane" when it develops over the Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. It is a "cyclone" when it forms over the Bay of Bengal and the northern Indian Ocean, and "typhoon" in the western Pacific.

Switzerland, 1968
Photograph by Thomas J. Abercrombie
Two burly Swiss men wrestle in front of a rapt audience during the Unspunnenfest. Held in and around Interlaken, this festival was first staged in 1805 on the grounds of Unspunnen Castle. The highlight of this celebration of folk dancing, yodeling, and Alpine sports is the Steinstossen, the throwing of the Unspunnen Stone, a 184-pound (83-kilogram) glacial boulder.
This year the Unspunnen Festival will be held September 1-3.

Sequim, Washington, Date Unknown
Photograph by Sam Abell
A horse stands in a field of wildflowers on the outskirts of Sequim, Washington. Although the Olympic Mountains are a rain trap for the moist Pacific winds that annually dump 140 inches (366 centimeters) of precipitation on the range's winward slopes, they also cast a "rain shadow" over the northeast side of the peninsula. This happy fact gives Sequim the nickname, "Sunny Sequim."

Sequim，华盛顿州，日期不详
一匹马站在华盛顿州Sequim边界上的一片野花地上。
由于奥林匹斯山脉挡住太平洋水气，使得在其迎风面每年达到366厘米的降水量，它也照成了半岛的东北形成了“雨影区”，使得Sequim得到一个快乐的昵称“阳光Sequim”
