Burmese Boy, Nanyung, Myanmar, 2003
Photograph by Maria Stenzel
A boy bathes in a mist-shrouded river in Nanyung, Myanmar (Burma). Despite rich natural resources, Myanmar remains impoverished and repressed, the result of military regimes that have ruled the nation for more than 40 years.

February 11, 2008Coral Reef, Fiji Islands, 2005
Photograph by Tim Laman
Without a strobe light to animate its riot of colors, this Fijian reef in 45 feet (14 meters) of water remains as a fish would see it. Red light, with its longer
wavelengths, dissipates at about 30 feet (10 meters), leaving smoky blues and muted yellows to dominate.

Photograph by Alexandra Boulat
A woman walks among the bell-shaped spires of Indonesia's Borobudur—the world's largest Buddhist temple. Built in the jungles of Java during the eighth and ninth centuries A.D., this ancient pilgrimage site lay abandoned for centuries until it was rediscovered and restored in the early 1900s.

February 13, 2008Aurora Borealis, Acadia National Park, Maine, 2005
Photograph by Michael Melford
Darkness settles over Jordan Pond in Maine's Acadia National Park as northern lights swirl above. "It was my last night in Acadia, and I was setting up for a long exposure of starlight in the night sky," recalls photographer Michael Melford, "and this brilliant red aurora appeared. I was in a panic to make sure I caught it."

Common Loons, Moose Lake, Wyoming, 1988
Photograph by Michael Quinton
Two common loons in checkered breeding plumage engage in a courtship ritual in Wyoming's Moose Lake. Loon pairs are generally monogamous and highly territorial, emitting their haunting yodels during the breeding season to ward off intruders and violently attacking any that come too close.

Ancient Sculpture, Angkor, Cambodia, 1968
Photograph by W. E. Garrett
Centuries of dormancy allowed the Cambodian jungle ample time to consume the work of Khmer artists in the sprawling Angkor temple complex. Built beginning in A.D. 800, Angkor was the capital of the Khmer kingdom until about A.D. 1430, when its leaders abandoned the site to establish a new capital at Phnom Penh.

Scorpion Fish, Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia, 1997
Photograph by David Doubilet
A scorpion fish attempts to hide in the sand in French Polynesia's Tuamotu Archipelago. Masters of disguise, scorpion fish use cryptic coloring and specialized appendages to help them hide from predators and surprise prey. What happens when its cover is blown? The fish uses its highly venomous dorsal spines in a lightning-quick attack.

Saint Simeon Church, Syria, 1978
Photograph by James Stanfield
The isolated ruins of the Church of Saint Simeon stand beneath a turquoise sky in the Syrian desert. This sprawling complex, located on a hill 37 miles (60 kilometers) from the nearest city (Aleppo), was built between A.D. 476 and 491 to honor St. Simeon Stylites, the famed ascetic monk who spent nearly 40 years in prayer atop a 40-foot (12-meter) pillar. The remains of the pillar can still be seen in the church's courtyard.
