Vimy Aerial View, Java, Indonesia, 1994
"Airworthy again, Vimy sails over Java's lush, densely populated farmlands . 'By this time my face was raw, peeling continuously from sun and wind,' says McMillan. Netted arm guards near the propellers help keep the rest of him intact."

Currituck Boathouse, North Carolina, 1985Photograph by David Alan Harvey
An old boathouse perches well above Currituck Sound at low tide in North Carolina's Outer Banks.
The Outer Banks, a thread of barrier islands on North Carolina's east coast, are extremely susceptible to erosion from heavy storms, strong tides, and rising ocean levels.

Great White Sharks
Full breaches like this attack are rare as they expend so much energy. But in South Africa waters full of baby seals, sharks attack from below with ferocious speed, propelling them out of the water with their catch.

Silhouette of Westminster Abbey, London, England, 2000Photograph by Jodi Cobb
The spires of Westminster Abbey cut dramatic shapes into a blushing twilight sky. The famous London church began as a Benedictine monastery enlarged by King Edward in the 1040s. It was designated the "west minster" to distinguish it from St. Paul's Cathedral, the "east minster." For centuries, Westminster Abbey has hosted royal coronations and burials.
意译：主标题：维斯敏斯特修道院的侧面影像，伦敦，英国，2000年。
维斯敏斯特修道院有许多的尖屋顶，梦幻般的外形在红色的黎明天空更加绚丽。在伦敦有一个著名的教堂和修道院都是爱德华国王在1040年加以扩建的。它被指定是西方大教堂而要和东方大教堂即“保罗大教堂”相区别，维斯敏斯特修道院已经是用于皇家的加冕典礼以及葬礼。

Photograph by Cary Wolinsky
The skeletal remains of a building in Hiroshima, Japan, stand as a reminder of the enduring injury from the U.S. atomic bomb attack there in 1945.
More than half of the city's buildings were destroyed by the bomb, which packed the equivalent of 15,000 tons (13,600 metric tons) of TNT. About 70,000 to 80,000 of Hiroshima's 350,000 residents were killed by the blast, and many suffered long-term illnesses from the radiation.

Canyon Star Trails, Arizona, 2007Photograph by Michael Nichols
A time-lapse photo reveals a smattering of stars dotting the sky above Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.
The landscape that today attracts more than four million tourists was once home to many indigenous peoples, including the Hisatsinom, or Anasazi. They and others survived by growing cotton, corn, beans, and squash along the sandy banks and terraces of the Colorado River some 1,300 years ago.

Photograph by Bruce Dale
In a dramatic freefall, the 275-foot (84-meter) Montmorency Falls plunges into the St. Lawrence River in Quebec, Canada. In winter, frozen spray from the falls accumulates into an enormous icy mound known as the Sugarloaf, popular with sledders and climbers.
