  • Santuario Gauchito Gil, near Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. Southermost city in the world. Legend has it that Gaucho Gil was a good-hearted outlaw who stole from the rich and gave to the poor. Before his hanging, Gil is said to have pledged to become a miracle worker. Now more than 100,000 people come to visit a shrine at the spot of his death, where they leave offerings and seek miracles of their own ? from help passing a grade in school to cures for illnesses. (from NPR)

  • The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC]: Seismic Monitor Nuclear test project in The Republic of Kazakhstan. In 1986 the USSR Academy of Sciences allowed the NRDC to install seismic monitoring instruments within a few hundred kilometers of their nuclear test site to verify that the USSR was not testing nuclear weapons underground during the nuclear test ban. By allowing this monitoring on their soil and by monitoring near the Nevada test site in the USA, mutual trust was built that facilitated the end of the Cold War.

  • Two Kuwaiti Oil Company firefighters shelter themselves from the intense heat of an oil well fire in a spray of water, behind a piece of metal roofing as they guide a "stinger" on the end of a long boom that will pump drilling mud into the gushing well at high pressure to stop the fire and flow of gas and oil. Rumaila oilfield, southern Iraq. The Rumaila field is one of Iraq's biggest with 5 billion barrels in reserve. Many of the wells are 10,000 feet deep and produce huge volumes of oil and gas under tremendous pressure, which makes capping them very difficult and dangerous. Rumaila is also spelled Rumeilah.

  • Ted Sikorski, an unemployed resident of the streets of Manhattan  with his typical day's worth of food at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen in New York. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) The caloric value of his typical day's worth of food in June was 2,300 kcals. He 5 feet, 8 inches tall; and 168 pounds. Although Ted spends many hours a day walking, he admits to having to watch his weight, adding that many of his ?residentially challenged? friends have the same problem. Over 1 million low-income residents use more than 1,200 nonprofit soup kitchens and food pantries in New York City. Some of the soup kitchens offer other benefits, such as showers, counseling, and entertainment. As in most big U.S. cities, it's easier to find a free meal in New York City than a place to sleep. Each night, more than 39,000 people sleep in the city's municipal shelter system, while thousands more sleep on the street. MODEL RELEASED.

  • The Breidjing Refugee Camp, Eastern Chad on the Sudanese border shelters 30,000 people who have fled their homes in Darfur, Sudan. Water is a constant preoccupation in the Breidjing Refugee Camp. Every day, lines of women and children carry jugs and pots of drinking and cooking water from distribution points to their tents. To get extra water to wash clothes, families dig pits- in nearby wadis (seasonal river beds), creating shallow pools from which they scoop out water. In November, the camp wadi had water three feet below the surface. As the dry season advances, the sand pits get deeper and deeper..(Supporting image from the project Hungry Planet: What the World Eats.)..

  • Newly reconstructed Caravanseraye Yazd Hotel, Yazd, Iran.  Also spelled caravansarai, caravanserai and caravansaray, in Farsi. Many of the old caravanserais of Iran are being renovated to attract tourists and to restore the architecture of the country's cultural past.

The architecture of each is based on the model of limited entrances to the outside to guard against invaders and thieves, and an open courtyard into which most rooms face.
