Piggy Back Ride, Chavuma, Zambia, 1997
Photograph by Chris Johns
"Movable feast: A teenager hustles a live pig home from the market in Chavuma, Zambia. The bike and the cargo signal that he comes from a relatively prosperous household. When he marries, his family must part with cows and cash for a bride."

Charger Leap, India, 1997
Photograph by Michael K. Nichols
"An in-your-face male, Charger triggered this remote-camera power portrait through a wide-angle lens only three feet away. He earned his name for his unbridled aggression, charging other male tigers as well as vehicles—including an assault attempt on an elephant carrying terrified tourists, uncommon behavior among tigers."

"Submerged ballerinas rehearse for their annual show at Leisure World in Laguna Hills, California. Activities like line dancing, lawn bowling, and computer classes make retirement communities increasingly popular among people with decades of free time to fill. ’Anyone who’s bored here is a stick in the mud,’ says 65-year-old Barbara Hack, at left."

Oygaing River Rafting, Uzbekistan, 1996
Photograph by Dugald Bremner
"Challenging the chaos of white water, Andrei Ivanov steers a craft called a bublik—Russian for bagel—down Uzbekistan’s Oygaing River. In a week-long, teeth-gritting adventure, a six-man Siberian team took on rapids in Central Asia with jerry-built rafts, hockey helmets, home-sewn river wear, and a taste for adventure."

War of Words, Canada, 1996
Photograph by Maggie Steber
"A war of words erupted on the walls and airwaves of Montreal before the last referendum, but there was a remarkable lack of violence. To win the next vote—expected within two years—separatists will have to gain the trust of the city’s large immigrant population."

Hippo Hitchhiker, Africa, 1997

"All ears and eyes, a Zambezi River hippo ignores a hitchhiker. The long-toed bird—a jacana, or lily trotter—can walk atop floating plants, as the half-hidden jacana next to the hippo is doing."

Australian Flag, Sydney, Australia, 1996
Photograph by Medford Taylor
Author Roff Martin Smith:
"Why leave the life I knew in Sydney for 10,000 miles of unknowns? I was hungry for a change—which is what drove me to Australia in the first place. When I was 22 and working in Wyoming, I dreamed of living overseas. My foreign language skills were nil, so it had to be an English-speaking country. I wanted to go far away, and Australia was the farthest out there. Yet after 15 years of living there, I realized I didn’t really know the place. That too would change."

Chelsea Physic Garden, London, 1980
Photograph by Sam Abell
"Ever since I’ve sought out the edges and outbuildings of gardens and gone into every greenhouse I could. Even empty ones are interesting. The reason is the soft, wrapping light and the way glass houses, by half separation from the world, create a secluded, sheltering atmosphere—not only for plants but also for people."

"Defying his 85 years as well as gravity, Carol Johnston practices pole vaulting in Walnut, California. Still competitive, he holds the world record—7’6" —for his age. He and 34 million others over 65 in the United States are leading a revolution, remaining vigorous and living longer than any previous generation. While science explores how to add even more healthy years to the human life span, a graying society faces inevitable changes in attitude and lifestyle."

Bandhavgarh Den, India, 1996
Photograph by Michael K. Nichols
"Resting after a night of hunting, a tigress called Sita remains a sentinel, ready to leap at the throat of any creature that dares approach the den where her cubs lie hidden in India’s Bandhavgarh National Park. Alarming drops in world tiger populations present a quandary: how to preserve wild cats in wild lands as farms and cities eat away at habitat and poachers step up their murderous trade."

Clarence River Fog, Australia, 1996
Photograph by Medford Taylor
Author Roff Martin Smith:
"Near Grafton, morning fog rises from the Clarence River, a 250-mile stream that I crossed on the way to Brisbane. It’s a painful reminder of the mental fog I was in the first week out, worrying about failure—and humiliation. Then biking cleared my head. My legs toughened, my confidence grew. And the road ran more like a river, gently tugging me downstream."
