  • Thousands of wine barrels in the aging cellars of the ultra-contemporary Bodegas Campillo in Laguardia, Spain. They use stainless steel fermentation tanks but employs both modern and traditional methods in the winemaking process. Their aging barrels are both American and French oak. The bodegas' youngest wine is four years old. The winery maintains an area where buyers of quantities of the wine can store what they buy. Because of automation, there are only five fulltime employees running the extensive entire daily operation. Few year round workers are needed. La Rioja, Laguardia, Spain.

  • On Green Island, a former prison island off the coast of SE Taiwan where political prisoners were incarcerated and re-educated during the unnervingly recent White Terror. There's actually still a high-security prison on the island, but it only holds 200 inmates (actual felons, not polital prisoners), as opposed to the couple thousand of earlier decades..Now it's mostly a tourist destination. We visited in the off season in March, thereby avoiding the 5,000-10,000 tourists that inundate the little place daily, though, being the off season, we had to contend instead with intermittent cold rain and high winds.

  • Beware - dinosaurs! A road sign close to Dinosaur Cove, a major fossil excavation in Australia. The sign, intended to warn of the presence of kangaroos, was altered by one of the volunteer workers at the site. Dinosaur Cove is the first mine devoted to paleontology, most excavations rely on existing commercial mines.  [1989].

  • Sewer inspection robot. Kurt I, a sewer inspection robot prototype. Here, the robot is moving through a simulated sewer at a German government-owned research and development centre. Unlike its predecessors, the Kurt I, and its successor, Kurt II, are cable-less, autonomous robots, which have their own power supply and piloting system. Kurt uses two low-powered lasers (upper centre) to beam a grid (red, lower centre) into its path. When the gridlines curve, indicating a bend or intersection in the pipe, the robot matches the curves against a digital map in its computer. It will then pilot itself to its destination. Photographed in Bonn, Germany.

  • Kurt I, a 32-cm-long robot, crawls through a simulated sewer network on the grounds of the Gesellschaft für Mathematik und Datenverabeitung-Forschungs-zentrum Informationstechnik GmbH (GMD), a government-owned R&D center outside Bonn, Germany. Every ten years, Germany's 400,000 kilometers of sewers must be inspected, at a cost of $9 per meter. Today, vehicles tethered to long data cables explore remote parts of the system. Because the cables restrict the vehicle's mobility and range, GMD engineers have built Kurt I, which crawls through sewers itself. To pilot itself, the robot?or, rather, its successor model, Kurt II?will use two low-power lasers to beam a checkerboardlike grid into its path. When the gridlines curve, indicating a bend or intersection in the pipe ahead, Kurt II will match the curves against a digital map in its "brain" and pilot itself to its destination.

  • Mammoth skeleton. Frontal view of the largest mounted Mammuthus columbi skeleton in the world. It is housed at the University of Nebraska State Museum, USA. In the foreground are giant up curved tusks. This specimen is 4 meters in height. Mammuthus columbi (Columbian mammoth) was a giant elephant-like mammal, which roamed temperate parts of North America more than 10,000 years ago, when it became extinct. This species was an important later relative of the woolly mammoth of Europe and Siberia. These well-preserved bones of Mammuthus columbi were discovered in Lincoln County, Nebraska, in 1922, a site famous for its fossils. The skeleton was assembled in 1933. (1992)

  • Radio Telescope: The Mars Antenna in the Mojave Desert, California. Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex. Standing 24 stories tall, the Mars antenna is the largest dish at Goldstone. It was originally built as a 64-meter-diameter (210-foot) antenna and received its first signal from the Mariner 4 mission to Mars. By 1988, the Mars dish, along with the 64-meter antennas in Spain and Australia, was upgraded to 70 meters (230 feet). These 70-meter antennas increase the receiving power of the Deep Space Network. Time exposure shows the rotation of the earth (the light from stars are recorded as curved steaks). (1983)
