  • In 2009, American sculptor Charles Ray (born 1953) installed "Boy with Frog" at the Punta della Dogana on Giudecca island, sestiere of Dorsoduro, Venice, Italy, Europe. The white eight-foot-tall sculpture depicts a boy holding a large frog above Giudecca Canal. Across the lagoon is Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore, a 16th century Benedictine church on the island of the same name. The basilica was designed in the classical renaissance style by Andrea Palladio and built from 1566-1610. The campanile (bell tower), first built in 1467, fell in 1774, and was rebuilt in neo-classic style by 1791. Venice (Venezia) is the capital of Italy's Veneto region, named for the ancient Veneti people from the 10th century BC. The romantic "City of Canals" stretches across 117 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea Europe.

  • A boy in yellow shirt runs through a panorama of hoodoos in Goblin Valley State Park, in central Utah, USA. Admire fanciful hoodoos, mushroom shapes, and rock pinnacles in fascinating Goblin Valley State Park, in Emery County between the towns of Green River and Hanksville. The Goblin rocks eroded from Entrada Sandstone, which is comprised of alternating layers of sandstone (cross-bedded by former tides), siltstone, and shale debris which were eroded from former highlands and redeposited in beds on a former tidal flat. As part of the Colorado Plateau, the San Rafael Swell is a giant dome-shaped anticline of rock (160-175 million years old) that was pushed up during the Paleocene Laramide Orogeny 60-40 million years ago. Since then, infrequent but powerful flash floods have eroded the sedimentary rocks into valleys, canyons, gorges, mesas, and buttes. This panorama was stitched from 3 overlapping photos.

  • Woman holds boy, wears gold jewelry, in Otavalo, Ecuador, South America. The culturally vibrant town of Otavalo attracts many tourists to a valley of the Imbabura Province of Ecuador, surrounded by the peaks of Imbabura 4,610m, Cotacachi 4,995m, and Mojanda volcanoes. The indigenous Otavaleños are famous for weaving textiles, usually made of wool, which are sold at the famous Saturday market and smaller markets during the rest of the week. The Plaza del Ponchos and many shops tantalize buyers with a wide array of handicrafts. Nearby villages and towns are also famous for particular crafts: Cotacachi, the center of Ecuador's leather industry, is known for its polished calf skins; and San Antonio specializes in wood carving of statues, picture frames and furniture. Otavaliña women traditionally wear distinctive white embroidered blouses, with flared lace sleeves, and black or dark over skirts, with cream or white under skirts. Long hair is tied back with a 3cm band of woven multi colored material, often matching the band which is wound several times around their waists. They usually have many strings of gold beads around their necks, and matching tightly wound long strings of coral beads around each wrist. Men wear white trousers, and dark blue ponchos. Otavalo is also known for its Inca-influenced traditional music (sometimes known as Andean New Age) and musicians who travel around the world.

  • A boy walks in Pray Lake beneath Sinopah Mountain (8271 feet or 2521 meters) at sunset in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA. Since 1932, Canada and USA have shared Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, which UNESCO declared a World Heritage Site (1995) containing two Biosphere Reserves (1976). Rocks in the park are primarily sedimentary layers deposited in shallow seas over 1.6 billion to 800 million years ago. During the tectonic formation of the Rocky Mountains 170 million years ago, the Lewis Overthrust displaced these old rocks over newer Cretaceous age rocks. Glaciers carved spectacular U-shaped valleys and pyramidal peaks as recently as the Last Glacial Maximum (the last "Ice Age" 25,000 to 13,000 years ago). Of the 150 glaciers existing in the mid 1800s, only 25 active glaciers remain in the park as of 2010, and all may disappear by 2020, say climate scientists.

  • A boy's vest and sweater are laid on a bed in Dr. Watt's residence, built in 1900. Barkerville Historic Town & Park, British Columbia, Canada. Historically the main town of the Cariboo Gold Rush, Barkerville is now the largest living-history museum in Western North America. The town was named after Billy Barker from Cambridgeshire, England, who struck gold here in 1861, and his claim became the richest and the most famous. This National Historic Site nestles in the Cariboo Mountains at elevation 1200m (4000ft), at the end of BC Highway 26, 80 kilometres (50 mi) east of Quesnel. Gold here was first discovered at Hills Bar in 1858, followed by other strikes in 1859 and 1860. Wide publication of these discoveries in 1861 began the Cariboo Gold Rush, which reached full swing by 1865 following strikes along Williams Creek.

  • In the National Archaeological Museum in Athens, Greece, see a sculpture of Antinoos (or Antinous), who lived about 110-130 AD and was Roman emperor Hadrian's lover and best friend. Hadrian lived 76-138 AD and become one of the few exemplary Roman sovereigns. Hadrian fell in love with the boy Antinous, who accompanied him on his extended trips through the Empire. At age 20, Antinous was drowned, or drowned himself, in the Nile. Cassius Dion recounts that Antinous had learned from an astrologer that he might in this way add his life-span to that of Hadrian's. The sovereign mourned for his friend for the rest of his life. He ordered the foundation of a city, Antinoopolis, at the place where Antinous had died. He surrounded himself with statues and busts of Antinous on his trips, and even more so at his old-age residence, the "Villa" in Tivoli. A star or constellation was named after Antinous.

  • Interior of Jack London's Cabin replica in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. Jack London (1876–1916) was an American novelist, journalist, and social activist. At age 21, he spent a difficult winter 1897–1898 prospecting for gold from in a rented cabin on the North Fork of Henderson Creek, 120 km south of Dawson City, just prior to the gold rush of 1898. While he didn’t strike it rich, he later turned his Klondike adventures into fame and fortune with legendary short stories and books. His most famous works include "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang", both set during the Klondike Gold Rush. A pioneer in the world of commercial magazine fiction, he was one of the first writers to become a worldwide celebrity and earn a fortune from writing. He was also an innovator in the genre that would later become known as science fiction. Born as John Griffith Chaney, his last name become London through his mother's remarriage during his first year of life. He began calling himself Jack as a boy. London's cabin, abandoned after the Gold Rush, was re-discovered by trappers in 1936 who noted London's signature on the back wall. Yukon author Dick North organized a search in 1965 and eventually had the cabin dismantled and shipped out. Two replicas were made from the original logs. One is shown here in Dawson City, while the other was re-assembled at Jack London Square in Oakland, California, London's hometown. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.

  • Held in place by blown air, the inflatable statue "Breath" (2012) by British artist Marc Quinn was installed 29 May 2013 on the piazza at San Giorgio Maggiore island as part of his temporary solo exhibition at Fondazione Giorgio Cini during the 55th La Biennale of Venice. Serving as a monument for the disabled, "Breath" was also the centerpiece of London's Paralympic Games' opening ceremony in 2012. "Breath" is an 11-meter (35-foot) high inflatable version of his monumental marble work "Alison Lapper Pregnant," a portrait of a disabled pregnant woman. Mark’s friend Alison Lapper was born with no arms and shortened legs due to chromosomal condition called Phocomelia. Rejected by her mother, Alison was brought up in a care home. After discovering she was pregnant, Alison decided to have her child (despite her body’s difficulties and societal prejudices) and gave birth to a healthy boy. Now a recognized artist, Alison was awarded an MBE (Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) in 2003 and featured with her son in the BBC series "Child of Our Time." The original 3.55 meter sculpture, "Alison Lapper Pregnant," was made of Carrara marble, weighed 12 tons, and was displayed from September 2005 to 2007 in London’s Trafalgar Square. Chiesa di San Giorgio Maggiore is a 1500s Benedictine church on San Giorgio Maggiore island in San Marco sestiere, in Venice, Italy, Europe.

But the following month he was killed in a skirmish on the shores of Ka'awaloa Cove following a series of incidents between his crew and the Hawaiians. On the lava flats behind Cook Monument are the ruins of the ancient village of Ka'awaloa. Before it was made a state of the USA in 1959, Hawaii was previously an 1810 kingdom, 1893 protectorate, 1894 republic, and 1898 territory. With one of the most pristine coral reefs for snorkeling in the state, Kealakekua Bay is protected as a State Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD).

  • Yellow tang in Kealakekua Bay. The yellow tang, or Lau'ipala (Zebrasoma flavescens in the surgeonfish family, Acanthuridae). Zebrasoma flavescens is one of the most popular fish species for saltwater aquariums. Hawaii sources up to 70% of the aquarium industry's yellow tangs. "flavescens" means yellow in Latin. The yellow tang is commonly found in shallow reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, west of Hawaii and east of Japan. It has also been seen in waters around Florida, where it is not native. We kayaked on a Kona Boys tour to the Captain Cook Monument in Kealakekua Bay State Historical Park starting from Napoopoo Pier, on the Kona Coast of the Big Island, Hawaii, USA. With one of the most pristine coral reefs for snorkeling in the state, Kealakekua Bay is protected as a State Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD).
