a fair WARNING these next pictures a very graphic some consisting of dead kids. I want to post these because on CNN and other channels here they kept showing this 10 sec loop of an injured man being helped in qana, which did not show what really happened. When you hear 37 children have died its not as powerful as seeing it with your own eyes. skips my next posts if you cant handle it.

probably cheating to post from NG, but . . .



Scott's Head, Dominica, 1996
Photograph by Michael Melford
A rooster skips past a fishing boat beached on the rocky shore of Dominica's Scott's Head. All along the Caribbean side of the island, the warm, placid waters provide pristine coral gardens for snorkelers and an abundance of fish for the local fisherman.

Ténéré desert, Niger, 1997
Photograph by George Steinmetz
"Mushroom cloud of stone erupts in the Ténéré desert, remnant of its watery past. This pedestal rock began as a mass of pebbly sandstone. Its sculptors were cycles of hot and cold, wet and dry, as well as blowing sand, which caused the sloughing off of shards scattered at the base."
(Text and photograph from "Journey to the Heart of the Sahara," March 1999, National Geographic magazine)


Upper Peninsula, Michigan, 1996

Loango National Park, Gabon, Africa, 2003
Photograph by Michael K. Nichols
"Sun-burnished waters from a lagoon—after its banks suddenly burst—pour across sand flats toward the sea."

Ténéré desert, Niger, 1997
Photograph by George Steinmetz
"Stark circle of rock measuring about 60 feet [18 meters] in diameter likes in the Ténéré desert below the massif of Adrar Madet in Niger. Roughly a mile away in each of the four cardinal directions, similarly crafted arrows point away from the circle, whose origin, purpose, and age remain a puzzle."
(Text and photograph from "Journey to the Heart of the Sahara," March 1999, National Geographic magazine)



Phnom Penh, Cambodia, 1981
Photograph by David Alan Harvey
Familiar with war’s ghosts, a Cambodian man passes a rusting antiaircraft gun left from days when all the land was a battlefield. This rusted gun is a reminder of Cambodia’s mass genocide under the Khmer Rouge rule from 1975 to 1979.
(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Kampuchea Wakens From a Nightmare," May 1982, National Geographic magazine)



Near Phuket, Thailand, 1994
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
With 3,219 kilometers (1,996 miles) of coastline, Thailand offers many unspoiled beaches with crystal-clear waters.
(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "The Many Faces of Thailand," February 1996, National Geographic magazine)


Garoka, Papua New Guinea, 1998
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
"In the leafy highlands of Papua New Guinea at a gathering of clans—some of them former headhunters—[photographer] Jodi Cobb was looking for beauty. 'What interested me,' she says of groups like the brightly painted Huli, 'is that men are flamboyant in this culture. They take their cues from the birds. The males are the colorful ones.'"

—From "100 Best Unpublished Pictures," January 2004, National Geographic magazine collector's edition

San Francisco lies in ruins on May 28, 1906, about six weeks after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. It was taken from a camera suspended on a kite 2,000 feet above the city. It is one of the most well-known photographs of George R. Lawrence (see biography for more information about the technique used). The tower of the Ferry Building can be seen at the bay end of Market Street, which can be clearly seen all the way to the foothills of Twin Peaks. The water in the foreground is San Francisco Bay, with the Golden Gate to the right, rear. Note the absence of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, which had yet to be constructed.
