Lone Horseman, Sukhe Bator Somon, Mongolia, 1985
Photograph by Dean Conger
In the semi-nomadic cultures of Mongolia, the horse is as essential now as it once was in the American West. In addition to transportation, horses are used to produce airag, a beverage made from fermented mare's milk.

Saddled Horse, Mentone, Texas, 2000
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
A saddled horse stands in the tiny town of Mentone, Texas. Seat of Loving County, the least populated county in the lower 48 states, Mentone sits smack in the middle of furnace-hot desert with oceans of oil belowground and not much to speak of above.

Victim of Mount Vesuvius, Herculaneum, Italy, 1994
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
A reddish-brown skeleton, belonging to a victim of the infamous Mount Vesuvius eruption, lies partially uncovered in the ancient city of Herculaneum. The lesser-known sister city of Pompeii, Herculaneum was quickly buried by a glowing avalanche—consisting of fast-moving gases, pumice, and rocks—on that fateful August day in A.D. 79.

Sand Island, Midway Atoll, Pacific Ocean, 1998
Photograph by David Doubilet
Site of a famed World War II battle, the U.S. naval base on Midway is now a peaceful refuge for albatrosses and other wildlife. On June 4, 1942, six months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, U.S. forces defended Sand Island and smaller Eastern Island from Japanese bombers.

Flooded Street, Multan, Pakistan, 1981
Photograph by James L. Stanfield
Prone to flooding, the central Pakistani city of Multan comes to a virtual halt after a deluge, but a ubiquitous horse-drawn tonga taxi pushes on, past a less fortunate pedestrian.

Tuareg Cavalryman, Algeria, 1960
Photograph by Robert F. Sisson
A Tuareg cavalryman seldom reveals his face, even to a blood brother. Though nominally Muslim, the tribe's women go unveiled. Hard-riding Tuareg riders ruled the Algerian desert in the days before French rule.

San Francisco Xavier del Bac Mission, Arizona, 1964
Photograph by James P. Blair
Stark-white San Francisco Xavier del Bac Mission, south of Tucson, Arizona, lacks a right cupola. One legend, among many, tells that it was left unfinished as a memorial to the 18th-century Spanish architect, who fell to his death from the tower.
