Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, 1976
"In the heart of Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico, stands an adobe church, recently restored to commemorate the town's Spanish colonial heritage. Founded in the early 18th century as a Roman Catholic mission, the church of St. Francis of Assisi retains many of its original paintings, altar screens, pieces of silverwork, and Santos—wooden statues carved by the Spanish settlers."

There are some 2,000 species of sea stars, such as this striped invertebrate off Ireland's Atlantic coast, living in all the world's oceans. Sea stars are famous for their ability to regenerate limbs, and in some cases, entire bodies. They accomplish this by housing most or all of their vital organs in their arms.

An emerald pasture dotted with daisies and flanked by distant sand dunes rolls to the foot of a rustic gate and a stone wall on the Irish island of Inishbofin. Picturesque scenes like this are plentiful on the windy Aran Islands, but tourism driven by the many bed-and-breakfasts, golf courses, and ferries, is taking a toll on these once-rural landscapes.

"Rugged as the people who settled here more than 3,000 years ago, the sea-chiseled limestone bluffs of Inishmore rise 300 feet above the Atlantic. Inland, hundreds of miles of stone walls ring thin-soiled fields where islanders toil in a land known for ciúnas gan uaigneas, Gaelic for 'quietness without loneliness.'"

Cows graze beside some of the hundreds of miles of stone walls that crisscross Inishmore. The walls mark field boundaries and also serve a double purpose as well—farmers needed somewhere to pile the stones they had to remove from their rock-strewn fields in order to farm.

Dominica, 1996

A rainbow arcs over trees blooming on a hillside in the West Indies island of Dominica. The country's interior can receive some 300 inches (760 centimeters) of rain each year, yielding hundreds of square miles of mountainous, densely forested wilderness, much of it protected as state land. The country's volcanic activity also yields natural gems, such as boiling pools, geysers, and black-sand beaches.
