Rental rowboats crowd a shoreline of Beijing's Kunming Lake. The Temple of Buddhist Incense, with its multi-tiered roof, rises from the famed Summer Palace on Longevity Hill in the background. The opulent Summer Palace complex, located on the western edge of Beijing, was built in the mid-1700s as a retreat for Qing Dynasty imperial rulers.

A flock of black-necked stilts glides over the waters surrounding Long Island in the Bahamas. Considered to be the third island that Columbus charted during his first voyage to the New World in 1492, he named it La Fernandina, perhaps after his illegitimate 4-year-old son or after the Spanish monarch who helped finance his voyage.

Photograph by Bates Littlehales
Tennessee's Reelfoot National Wildlife Refuge. Duckweed, the world's smallest flowering plant, grows on the surface of still or slow-moving water. It grows rapidly—sometimes too rapidly, occasionally covering whole lakes or drought-slowed rivers—and provides protection for water creatures, control of excess minerals, and a barrier against evaporation.

Charred wood litters a partially cleared area in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest along Washington state''s Cascade Range. The fires are set deliberately to clear the land of debris after logging and to facilitate new growth.

Celestial skies stream light onto a Canadian Coast Guard icebreaker as it cuts a trail through a frozen expanse of Arctic Ocean in Canada's Northwest Territories.
The Canadian Coast Guard was part of a mission to explore the sunken wreckage of the H.M.S. Breadalbane, a British ship that went down in the 1850s while on a mission to find survivors of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to map the Northwest Passage.

A shimmering travertine deposit forms a limestone terrace around a mineral spring at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.
This formation, called Minerva Terrace, formed as mineral-laden water bubbled over and evaporated, leaving a sparkling white calcium-carbonate crust. These deposits, which can accumulate at up to a foot (30 centimeters) per year, create a spectacular and constantly changing landscape.

Mountain polo players take part in a practice match at Chitral Polo Field in northwestern Pakistan. This game, arguably Pakistan's favorite sport, differs dramatically from the European version. In mountain polo, six players instead of four compete on a longer, narrower field. And the near absence of rules encourages a rowdy, fast-paced, frequently violent clash.

Photograph by Jodi Cobb
The Orient Express stretches elegantly along a length of track somewhere in Europe. This famously luxurious train line had its first run in 1883 traveling from Paris to Giurgiu, Romania. The line was extended to Constantinople (later Istanbul) in 1889. The route ran until 1977, and several short-run trains have since used parts of the original route under the name Orient Express. The last of these is the Paris-Vienna route, which will shut down for good when a high-speed line opens in June of 2007.
