Shadow Creek, California

小溪

積雪融化造就了這條小溪。

Horses, Mongolian Steppe

An ocean of green, Mongolia is the most sparsely populated country in the world, with just under three million people in a landmass larger than Alaska. Mongolian culture—physical, mobile, self-reliant, and free—developed out here on the steppe. "When people move to Ulaanbaatar, they bring that mentality with them," says Baabar, a well-known publisher and historian.

蒙古草原的馬

蒙古草原就像一片無垠的綠色海洋。蒙古過地廣人稀，國土面積比美國的阿拉斯加還大，但人口不到300萬。蒙古人體格健壯，機動靈活，自立自強，擁有自由精神。著名出版商，歷史學家Baabar說“隨着人們的遷移，連同他們的智慧也被帶到了烏蘭巴托。”

Esil River, Kazakhstan

The French Riviera it isn't, but Astana makes the most of its brief summer, when young men gather at the Esil River to flex their muscles before appreciative members of the opposite sex. The cobblestone embankment on the far side is popular with fishermen.

哈薩克斯坦Esil河

阿斯塔納（哈薩克斯坦共和國首都）的這條河讓這裏的夏天有了更多的趣味。年輕人聚集到河邊展示它們的肌肉。河對岸的鵝卵石堤壩則是垂釣者的天堂。

White Pocket, Arizona

Miniature lakes reflect the sky in White Pocket, one of the geological spectacles on the Paria Plateau. Over the eons, groundwater has leached the color out of the Navajo sandstone here, and the weather has broken its surface into irregular polygons.

美國亞利桑那州

這是Paria高原上的微型湖泊，湖水映出天空的顏色。地面水經過長年的滲透把石頭的顏色過濾掉，形成 了獨特的白色石頭。
