An ornate stage prop makes a dramatic exit through the window of Venice's La Fenice Opera House.
Built on wooden pilings sunk in the ooze of a backwater lagoon, Venice rose over a millennium to become a city-state of dazzling power. By the 15th century, it was the envy of Europe.

Angola, Louisiana, 1999
Photograph by William Albert Allard
Picking cotton at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola (one of the few places in the U.S. where cotton is still picked by hand), these convicts evoke blues music's ancestry. The roots of the blues are in the cotton fields of the South where slaves would sing to keep the blue devils at bay. The cadence of those field songs later came to shape the musical structure of today's blues.

Colorful shawls worn by Tarahumara Indian women dry on a line in Mexico's Copper Canyons.
Until recently, the remoteness of the Tarahumara's homeland—the canyons' deep, rock-lined gorges—has allowed these intensely shy people to preserve much of their native culture. But a decade of government-promoted tourism in the region is bringing the outside world to their doorstep.

A column of black ash and steam rises over the village of Capelo on the Azores island of Faial. The source of this 1957 eruption, an undersea volcano just off Faial's southern shore called Ilha Nova, sent car-sized boulders into the air, covered Capelo in ash, and created a new island that eventually connected with Faial and lengthened the island by more than half a mile (0.8 kilometers).

一个由蒸汽和黑灰组成的烟柱冲天而起，笼罩在法亚尔的亚速尔群岛上的卡佩罗村上空。这个烟柱来自一座紧邻法亚尔南海岸叫做新岛(Ilha Nova)的海底火山，于1957年爆发，转载翻译部分请注明天涯东方猪。当时将一块汽车大小的石块喷到了半空，并使得卡佩罗村盖上一层灰尘，最后形成了一座与法亚尔相连的新生岛屿，从而使其延长了半英里(0.8公里)之多。

Alberobello, Italy, 1979
Photograph by O. Louis Mazzatenta
An aerial view shows the famous cone-shaped, limestone-slab roofs of Alberobello, Italy.
The peculiar rooflines of these cottages, called trulli, help move rainwater to aquifers, and their extremely thick, stuccoed walls help keep the homes cool. Earlier trulli were built without stucco, supposedly to allow residents to dismantle them easily when tax collectors approached and avoid property taxes.

图为意大利阿尔贝罗贝洛的那些著名锥形石灰板屋顶。这些村舍有着独特的房顶，称为陶尔利(Trulli)，用来将雨水收集到蓄水池。这些屋顶非常厚，并刷有灰泥，可保持屋内凉爽。转载翻译部分请注明天涯东方猪。早期的陶尔利上都没有灰泥，推测可能是这样房主就可在征税员到来前轻易将其拆除，以逃避财产税。
