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.

在纽约市象征性的中心，新年前夜庆典的残留物装点了街道。时代广场的庆典始于1904年，以烟火开始，然后开始著名的落球倒数，在午夜前倒数10秒钟。
装置在时代广场的旗杆顶端的球，最初由700磅重(318公斤)的铁，木头，和100盏25瓦的灯炮。经过多次改进，现在的球是直径2米，重1070磅(485公斤)，覆盖着沃特福德三角水晶，并由432个灯炮和96个高频闪灯点亮。

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).

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）

A dog wanders down a sidewalk near Castillo de la Real Fuerza in Old Havana.

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。

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.

2公元前165年，犹太将领夺回了耶路撒冷，在犹太圣殿中燃起烛火，供奉神灵，结果发现只有够一天使用的蜡烛油了，可就是这么点蜡烛油，奇迹般的持续燃亮了八天，而光明节就是因此而来。
