Fishermen begin the round-up during Trebon's autumn carp harvest. Not considered a food fish by many, carp is very popular in the Czech Republic and other parts of Eastern Europe, where it is often served fried with a side of potato salad as a traditional Christmas Eve dinner.

"Not even a swarm of flies disturbs a cheetah's after-dinner catnap. Most delicate of the big cats, cheetahs choose to flee rather than fight when confronted with danger. 'People are their biggest problem,' says [conservationist] Laurie Marker. 'Whether cheetahs thrive in the wild or are lost in our lifetime is ultimately up to us.'"

Petra, Jordan, 1998

"Etched in a monumental landscape, the Monastery, like Petra itself, is anchored in the cliffs from which it was carved. Though rattled by earthquakes through the centuries, many of Petra's buildings stood fast, even as the city declined and storms of windblown sand concealed its glory for another age."

Holiday lights in a store window struggle to bring cheer to the winter gloom. In Denmark, Christmas is the last outpost on the long, grim trek toward spring. The North Atlantic winter offers not much more than all-day rain and dark gray skies at noon. Welcome to the birthplace of existentialism!

A baby gorilla grasps the hand of a caregiver at the Lefini Faunal Reserve. The center was set up to rehabilitate "bush-meat orphans," young gorillas whose mothers are illegally killed by poachers for meat. Gorilla babies rely on the care and emotional support of their mother for as long as eight years.

"Memory stakes a trail in a roadless land as a Saami, or Lapp, herder heads for his reindeer herd 30 miles [48 kilometers] from Lovozero. Since the 1930s, reindeer raising, the primary occupation of many Soviet Arctic people, has been managed mostly by state and collective farms, but animals forage on the tundra, surviving largely on lichens and mosses."

A weather satellite launched in 1968 promised to help track clouds on Earth. Even with the technological advances of the past four decades, predicting what will happen in the 20-mile-deep (32-kilometer-deep) blanket of air that contains all of Earth's weather proves to be a fiendishly complex task.

A large menorah stands before the Washington Monument in honor of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights. The nine-branched Hanukkah menorah commemorates the Miracle of the Oil, when, during the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem, one day's worth of consecrated candle oil lasted eight days.

Hanukkah is an eight-day holiday which begins on the 25th day of Kislev, the ninth month of the Hebrew calendar. In 2006, Hanukkah will begin at sundown on December 15.

Iranian sisters work together to weave a carpet. Many village schools in Iran end at fifth grade, after which, girls often take up weaving while their brothers continue their education elsewhere. A completed carpet can bring $300 to $1000, a handsome amount in a place where the average monthly income is $150 and a wedding dowry can be up to $2000.

Snow falls on the city of Most in the northwest of the Czech Republic.

A full moon rises over a snowfield in rural Vermont, where the endless mounds of snow may seem chaste or corpse-like, funereal or energizing, depending on one's point of view. Vermonters call themselves "woodchucks" because they've learned to hibernate under the weight of it instead of fighting from primacy, as newcomers do.

Venus's volcano, named Maat Mons, looms above the volatile surface of the Earth's "unruly" twin. This image was captured by the Magellan spacecraft which also mapped 84 percent of the planet's surface in just one day—one Venus day that is, equal to 243 days on Earth. The orange tint approximates the color the human eye would see as a result of sunlight filtering through Venus's cloud cover.

New York, New York, 1989
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
In the symbolic heart of New York City, the remnants of a past New Year’s Eve celebration decorate the street. Celebrated in Times Square since 1904, New Year’s Eve is marked first with exploding fireworks, then with the famous “dropping of the ball” starting 10 seconds before midnight.

Positioned at the top of a flag pole at One Times Square, the original ball was 700 pounds (318 kilograms) of iron, wood, and 100 25-watt light bulbs. After several reincarnations, today the ball is a 6-foot (2-meter) geodesic sphere, weighing 1,070 pounds (485 kilograms), covered with 504 Waterford crystal triangles, and illuminated by 432 light bulbs and 96 high intensity strobes.

North Florida Springs, 1998
Photograph by Wes Skiles
A flexible and graceful swimmer, the West Indian manatee migrates annually to Florida's coastal waters. This balmy winter retreat unfortunately holds a palpable danger for these gentle creatures. In 2005, collisions with watercraft and other human-related accidents accounted for nearly 25 percent of all manatee deaths in Florida according to the state's Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Boating speed limits and the creation of sanctuaries are just some of the protections put into place by state and federal lawmakers to help save the endangered manatee.
