Most, Czech Republic, 1993
Photograph by James L. Stanfield
Snow falls on the city of Most in the northwest of the Czech Republic. The name of the city, most means "bridge" in Czech, harkens back to the swampy landscape of the 10th and 11th centuries that was covered with wooden bridges and used by merchants to transport goods from Prague to Freiberg and back.

Vermont, 1997
Photograph by Michael S. Yamashita
A full moon rises over a snowfield in rural Vermont, where the endless mounds of snow may seem chaste or corpse-like, funereal or energizing, depending on one's point of view. Vermonters call themselves "woodchucks" because they've learned to hibernate under the weight of it instead of fighting from primacy, as newcomers do.

佛蒙特(Vermont)州,1997年
一轮满月在佛特蒙农郊的雪原上升起,这些无边无际的雪色看起来也许是纯洁,使人振奋的,又或许是惨白,充满哀伤的,而这都要取决于观看者自身的视角.佛蒙特人管自己叫"woodchucks"土拨鼠),因为他们学会了用吃胖来御寒。.......(不知道怎么翻译了，大意如此.....)

Maat Mons, Venus, Date Unknown
Photograph by Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Venus's volcano, named Maat Mons, looms above the volatile surface of the Earth's "unruly" twin. This image was captured by the Magellan spacecraft which also mapped 84 percent of the planet's surface in just one day—one Venus day that is, equal to 243 days on Earth. The orange tint approximates the color the human eye would see as a result of sunlight filtering through Venus's cloud cover.

Maat Mons,金星,日期未明
这是金星的火山，称为Maat Mons,耸立在地球“任性”的孪生姐妹不稳定的地表上。这张图片是由麦哲伦号宇宙飞船拍摄的，它在同一天（金星日，相当于243个地球日）还绘制了84%星球表面.那橙色的色彩近似于人眼看到的效果，这是由于云层过滤太阳光的结果。

Old Havana, Cuba, 1998
Photograph by David Alan Harvey
A dog wanders down a sidewalk near Castillo de la Real Fuerza in Old Havana. Named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1982, long before neglected walls and roofs started crashing down, Havana's historic quarter is starting to show the benefits of recent renovations which radiate along its mostly cobbled streets.

Hot Springs, Arkansas, Date Unknown
Photograph by George F. Mobley
Two pigs enjoy rooting around the soil in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Defying all the porcine stereotypes, pigs are decidedly not stupid (they think through problems to arrive at solutions), not fat (unlike dogs and humans, pigs do not overeat), and not dirty (although they do love nosing around Mother Earth, pigs are easier to housebreak than any puppy).

温泉区,阿肯色州,日期未知
两只猪猪在阿肯色州温泉区快乐地翻拱泥土。与一般的成见相反，猪猪们显然并不愚蠢(它们可以通过思考解决问题),不肥胖(不象狗狗和人类，猪猪不会
吃过量),不肮脏(虽然它们喜欢亲近大地母亲，但它们比任何其它宠物都容易训练以使养成良好的排泄习惯而保持户内清洁）

New York, New York, 1989
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
In the symbolic heart of New York City, the remnants of a past New Year’s Eve celebration decorate the street. Celebrated in Times Square since 1904, New Year’s Eve is marked first with exploding fireworks, then with the famous “dropping of the ball” starting 10 seconds before midnight.
Positioned at the top of a flag pole at One Times Square, the original ball was 700 pounds (318 kilograms) of iron, wood, and 100 25-watt light bulbs. After several reincarnations, today the ball is a 6-foot (2-meter) geodesic sphere, weighing 1,070 pounds (485 kilograms), covered with 504 Waterford crystal triangles, and illuminated by 432 light bulbs and 96 high intensity strobes.
