New River Gorge, West Virginia, 1999

Susie Post Rust
"Spanning a West Virginia canyon 3,000 feet [914 meters] wide, the New River Gorge Bridge transformed 44,000 tons of steel and concrete into structural art as graceful as the morning mists drifting below it. Opened in 1977, it replaced an 1889 trestle—and 40 white-knuckled minutes on one-lane switchbacks—with 40 seconds on cruise control."

新河峡谷，西维吉尼亚，1999
Susie Post Rust
“新河峡谷大桥坐落于西维吉尼亚，横跨一座3000英尺（914米）宽的峡谷。它将44000吨的钢与混凝土变成了优美的建筑艺术，就像其下流过的晨雾一样美不胜收。它于1977年开始使用，替代了一座1889年的栈桥，同时也用40秒取代了原来40分钟的单程通过时间。（此处岗哨查阅了维基百科该桥的建造资料及当地人的评论方才明白其含义，但仍未能读懂原文，望指教）

Flip Nicklin
“因为正以头下尾上的歌唱姿势漂浮着，弗兰克展示了它的尾部斑纹。通过这种独特的式样，它座头鲸（又称为大翅鲸）的身份得以被辨识。”

Square Butte, Montana, 1986
Sam Abell
“Courted by an early moon, Square Butte unfolds in spacious grandeur 20 miles [32 kilometers] west of Great Falls. A backdrop in numerous Russell paintings, this mile-wide [1.6-kilometer-wide] tableland of rock can be seen from the town’s outskirts, and Charley sometimes rode out to view it for inspiration when he was ‘fighting a painting.’”

Sanarate, Guatemala, 1976
Robert W. Madden
“Buffeted by crosswinds, a rescue plane crashes into a truck, while trying to land on a mountain highway near Sanarate. Miraculously no one suffered serious injury.”

Bangladesh, 1975
Steve Raymer
“Child of catastrophe, a Bengali girl waits for relief food during a famine that wracked Bangladesh last autumn. Her beleaguered nation, one of the most densely populated on earth, lives in the shadow of chronic hunger, which, many experts fear, may threaten the entire world.”

Laos, 1974
Wilbur E. Garrett
“With little to cling to except each other, Hmong girls reflect the uncertainty of a people driven from their homes in the protracted war for Laos. The Hmong were forced to flee their mountain villages and to take sides in the conflict. Crack Hmong guerillas became the undeclared muscle behind U.S. foreign policy in this Southeast Asian nation. Now, a precarious peace has come with the 1973 cease-fire, and the Hmong, driven out of their hilltop isolation, find themselves thrust into the mainstream of Laotian life.”

Istanbul, Turkey, 1973
Winfield I. Parks, Jr
“Luxury for an Istanbulian is in the 100°F [38°C] heat of a Turkish bath. The Romans built the city’s first public baths. This marble retreat rose in the 16th century, a design of the architect Sinan, who created hundreds of glorious structures for the Ottomans. Basement boilers produce the steam, and holes in the dome release excess heat. A hundred public baths reserve separate hours or rooms for women. In bygone days, marriage contracts assured wives an allowance for bath money.”

Gusinje, Yugoslavia, 1970
James P. Blair
“Forbidden alcohol by their religion, Moslem Shiptars enjoy a soft-drink break in the Montenegrin village of Gusinje, near the Albanian border. The photographer, shooting through the café’s lace-draped window, caught his own reflection (left) and that of grinning boys in the village street.”

Mekong Delta, Vietnam, 1968
Wilbur E. Garrett
“‘Please help my baby!’ a Vietnamese mother pleads with an interpreter aboard a U.S. Navy patrol boat in the delta. The patrol, seeking VC craft on the waterways, had stopped her sampan shortly after sunup—before the 7 a.m. curfew ended. Finding neither VC nor contraband, the sailors helped her sick child as much as they could from the vessel’s first-aid kit and moved on.”
—From “Mekong: River of Terror and Hope,” December 1968, National Geographic magazine
June 14, 2001
Kabul, Afghanistan, 1968
Thomas J. Abercrombie
“Denied face and form by an age-old custom, a woman of Kabul secludes herself in a sleeveless silk chadri; a pair of Old World goldfinches rides home from market on her head. Reflecting the forces of change at work in the land, Afghan law no longer requires the chadri, whose pleats echo a style of centuries ago.”

Wakulla Springs, Florida, 1944
J. Baylor Roberts
“Sitting on a log in the waters of Florida’s famous Wakulla Springs, near Tallahassee, two trick swimmers start a submarine beauty shop. In places this crystal-clear spring is 185 feet [56 meters] deep. Many underwater movies are made here.”

"Ghostlike faces surround two saffron-robed Buddhist monks in a window of the extravagantly carved Bayon, central temple of Angkor Thom. Here, in northwestern Cambodia, rise the splendid temples of the Khmer kings, ancient rulers of Southeast Asia. Not only does the architectural grandeur speak of a brilliant civilization; complex canals, reservoirs, and ponds—some still in use—reveal a remarkable system of irrigation, forerunner of the Mekong Project."
