Striped Boxfish, Tukangbesi Islands, Indonesia, 2005 Photograph by Tim Laman 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.

Ha Pisga Gardens, Tel Aviv, Israel Photograph by James Stanfield 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.
