Photograph by Bobby Model
A villager of Gatumba, Burundi, displays a photograph of an infamous Nile crocodile known as Gustave as workers in the background wade in the Rusizi River. Estimated in 2004 to be 20 feet (6 meters) long and 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms), Gustave is reputed to have devoured scores, even hundreds people along the Rusizi and Lake Tanganyika.

Photograph by Maria Stenzel
Tibetans believe both the negative and positive things done during Losar, the Tibetan New Year celebration, reverberate through the year to come. Here, Buddhist monks from the Tsurphu Monastery near Lhasa chase away bad spirits with a dance honoring the dharmapala divinity.

Thermal Vent, New Zealand, 2004
Photograph by Peter Essick
Scientists believe that forests, grasslands, and the waters of the oceans act as carbon sinks—stealing back roughly half of the carbon dioxide we humans emit, slowing its buildup in the atmosphere and delaying its effects on climate.
Eons pass before carbon, buried in the Earth's crust, issues as a gas from a volcanic vent in New Zealand (above), or locked up in limestone, erodes off mountains. Carbon cycles faster when decaying from a leaf or traveling as wind-tossed pollen.

Soccer and Sailboats, Port Townsend, Washington, 1984
Photograph by Sam Abell
A bustling seaport in the late 19th century, Port Townsend, Washington, has fought to maintain its historic charm. More than a million visitors come each year to see its Victorian mansions, mountain vistas, and water spectacles, like the Wooden Boat Festival in Puget Sound (top).

Approaching Storm, Wyndham, Australia, 2004
Photograph by Randy Olson
Lightning dances on the horizon at dusk near Five Rivers Lookout outside of Wyndham in northern Australia. Intense tropical storms illuminate the evening sky at the start of the "wet"—the rainy season that lasts from about December to March. "When the wet arrives and you feel the wind coming at you," says photographer Randy Olson, "that's the best feeling in the world in these hot little towns."

Lighthouse at Twilight, Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, 2000
Photograph by Kenji Yamaguchi
A gentle twilight surrounds North Carolina's historic Cape Hatteras lighthouse. Since the Civil War, the lighthouse has guided ships through this treacherous stretch of ocean, dubbed the Graveyard of the Atlantic. In 2000, this iconic landmark was relocated a half mile (0.8 kilometers) inland due to a shifting shoreline.
