Petra, Jordan, 1998
Photograph by Annie Griffiths Belt
"Etched in a monumental landscape, the Monastery, like Petra itself, is anchored in the cliffs from which it was carved. Though rattled by earthquakes through the centuries, many of Petra's buildings stood fast, even as the city declined and storms of windblown sand concealed its glory for another age."
(Text and photograph from "Petra: An Ancient City of Stone," December 1998, National Geographic magazine)


1998年Annie Griffiths Belt摄于约旦 佩特拉（Petra）古城
“被风化的古迹景观－－修道院，就好像佩特拉城本身一样，以鬼斧神工依托于悬崖峭壁之中。虽有多次地震的撼动，经历了数个世纪的岁月，即便是城市的没落，风沙的侵袭，掩盖了昔日的光辉，但佩特拉城的建筑依然屹立不倒。”

Copenhagen, Denmark, 1997
Photograph by Sisse Brimberg
Holiday lights in a store window struggle to bring cheer to the winter gloom. In Denmark, Christmas is the last outpost on the long, grim trek toward spring. The North Atlantic winter offers not much more than all-day rain and dark gray skies at noon. Welcome to the birthplace of existentialism!

1997年Sisse Brimberg摄于 丹麦 哥本哈根
在商店橱窗里，节日的灯火努力将节日气氛展现在冬季的朦胧中。在丹麦，圣诞节是长长冬季最后的哨所，节日之后，时间将艰难的迈向春季。在北大西洋的寒冷冬季，它给予的不单单是整天的下着雨，还有灰蒙蒙的大白天。欢迎来到“存在主义”（existentialism）的诞生地。

Easter Island, 1979
Photograph by Gordon Gahan
Giant stone moai stand on Easter Island's stony slopes. Earlier explorers believed the stone statues were worshipped as gods by native Polynesians, but Captain James Cook and his men speculated in 1774 that they were constructed to honor ancestors, a view still held by many today.

复活节岛,1979
巨大的石像树立在复活节岛上多石的坡面上。早期的探险者认为这些石像是玻利尼西亚人崇拜的神，但是James Cook船长和他的船员在1774年推测它们是为了纪念尊敬的祖先而建造，现在仍有很多人持这种观点。

Near Lovozero, Siberia, USSR, 1980
Photograph by Dean Conger
"Memory stakes a trail in a roadless land as a Saami, or Lapp, herder heads for his reindeer herd 30 miles [48 kilometers] from Lovozero. Since the 1930s, reindeer raising, the primary occupation of many Soviet Arctic people, has been managed mostly by state and collective farms, but animals forage on the tundra, surviving largely on lichens and mosses."
(Text and photograph from "People of the Long Spring," February 1983, National Geographic magazine)
Lovozero附近，西伯利亚,苏联,1980
当牧羊的Saami人或称Lapp人动身前往Lovozero小镇30英里(合48公里)以外的驯鹿群的时候，在无路可走的大地上，他们对道路的记忆只能凭借地上走过的痕迹。自从20世纪30年代以来，驯鹿养殖这项许多苏联北极圈的居民从事的重要职业，通常由国家和集体农场来管理，而驯鹿在冻土
地带上寻食，主要以地衣和苔藓为生。
