就像一个惊叹号 越南 1967年 照片显示的是一枚175毫米的炸弹正从驻越南的美军卡罗尔军营的一门大炮中发射出去。这一刹那整个炮身与它炮口的火苗与烟雾就像一个巨大的惊叹号，但不知是自我陶醉还是为越共游击队的顽强而惊叹。不过可以肯定，除了摄影师外已经很少有美国人能从这个画面中得到满足了。

Manobier, Wales, 1985 Photograph by Robert W. Madden A bird soars over the lichen-draped remains of Manorbier Castle in Wales. At its height in the 12th century, the castle consisted of a gatehouse, a keep, two towers, and a vaulted chapel enclosed within two high stone curtain walls. Originally built as a fortified manor house, this medieval castle never encountered attack, which is why it remains remarkably well-preserved today.

Baalbek, Lebanon, Date Unknown Photograph by George F. Mobley "Awe-inspiring even in ruin, the splendor of Baalbek [40 miles (64 kilometers) northeast of Beirut] must have defied description in its time of glory. Rome began erecting the huge sanctuaries in the first century A.D., on a site previously dedicated to the Canaanite god Baal."
