Chimney Rock, Nebraska, 2000
Twilight descends on Chimney Rock, a 325-foot (100-meter) geological formation in Nebraska's North Platte River valley. In the first half of the 19th century, scores of emigrants traveling west on the Oregon Trail passed this famous landmark, originally called 'Elk Penis' by Native Americans before it was renamed by white settlers.

A dizzying array of dots and squiggles decorates a striped boxfish (Ostracion solorensis) gliding by a coral reef near Indonesia's Tukangbesi Islands. Boxfish, also known as trunkfish or cowfish, are known for their distinctive boxy profiles and for the bonelike, six-sided plates that cover much of their bodies and protect them from predators.

The city of Tel Aviv, Israel, radiates from the Saint Pierre Church, nestled in the city's Ha Pisga Gardens. Formed in 1950 by the merging of the ancient port of Jaffa with the then-suburb of Tel Aviv, Israel's largest urban center is home to more than three million people, most of the country's industrial plants, and its only stock exchange.

Like a baby bird embarking on its first flight, a just-hatched turtle, flippers outspread and eyes wide, swims just below the ocean's surface in the waters of French Polynesia. In addition to a dazzling variety of wildlife, including several marine turtle species, the archipelago's rich lagoons spawn a treasure available in few other places: black pearls.

Rock-and-roll pioneer Chuck Berry plays a candy apple-red guitar at the Jazz Aspen Music Festival. Called the father of rock-and-roll, Berry is as revered for his iconic hits, such as 'Johnny B. Goode,' 'Maybellene,' and 'Memphis,' as he is for helping break the color barrier in the music world.
