Huangshan (Yellow Mountains), Anhui Province, China.
The moon at Jiayuguan Pass, China.
The climate of the desert state of Rajasthan, India is hot and dry and the main form of transportation is by camel. I was traveling through on a camel safari when we stopped, late in the afternoon, at a small village. A young woman with a golden bowl balanced on her head came out of an old house near where the camels had been tied. The light was warm and I motioned with my camera. She took the bowl off her head and let me take one frane before she disappeared back into her house. - Kraig Lieb, 1989.

Turtle Mountain Island, located 10 kilometers off the coast of Toucheng in Yilan County, Taiwan, looks like a turtle floating in the sea, hence its name. The island has high cliffs, steaming fumaroles, welling underwater hot springs, mountain peaks, sea-eroded caves, a lake, and unique cliff vegetation, as well as a rich marine ecology. Since the Ching Dynasty, Turtle Mountain Island has been famous for its runrises. The best place to watch this spectacular sunrise is from Toucheng Beach or the mouth of the Lanyang River, between April and September.
