When you swim with humpback whales it’s not their size that overwhelms you but their beauty. You want to stay in that moment forever. These three humpbacks came over to me to check me out. They put on a beautiful dancing display that makes your heart stop and you wish for the moment to never end. When they were done ten minutes later they took off but left me with amazing memories. Tahiti, French Polynesia.

当你和座头鲸一起游泳时，征服你的不是它们的体型而是它们的美丽。你会希望时间永远停留在那一刻。这三条座头鲸游到我的上方来仔细打量我。它们上演了一场美丽得让人窒息的舞蹈，你会希望这一切永远没有终结。十分钟后它们结束了舞蹈离去，却给我留下了难以置信的回忆。塔希提岛，法属波利尼西亚。

A drill pad built on top of fragile wetlands probes for new oil reserves. Technology imported from the West is helping Russia’s oil industry modernize, but Soviet-era spills and pipeline breaks have contaminated much of the region.

一个建造在脆弱的湿地上的钻井平台正在寻找新的石油资源。从西方引入的技术促进了俄罗斯石油工业的现代化建设，但是在苏维埃时代，溢出和管线破损就已经对这个地区造成了大范围污染。

Simon Booth remembers when he grazed 250 head of cattle on his ranch in southeastern Australia—a sight his children Ryan and Claire may never see. A seven-year drought has the region, and its people, in its grips.

Some green roofs can be far simpler to create than traditional roof gardens. Volunteers from Cook + Fox installed the New York City architectural firm’s roof themselves using Green Paks. The polyethylene bags, marketed by St. Louis-based Green Roof Blocks, contain low-maintenance plants and can be laid out with no preparation beyond rolling out a layer of waterproof material that controls drainage and blocks the intrusion of roots into roof structures.

绿化一个屋顶可以远比传统的屋顶花园来得简单。Cook + Fox建筑公司的志愿者们用Green Paks自己动手绿化了位于纽约市的公司大楼屋顶。圣路易斯公司销售的这种屋顶绿化模块是一个装有易生长植物的聚乙烯容器，不需要任何准备工作，直接铺设在一层用于控制排水和防止植物根系侵入屋顶结构的防水材料即可。

While exploring Walkerville, Ontario’s vacant, leafy icon known as the Walker Power Building, I noticed how forlorn my dim reflection appeared in its window. The vibrant colour of the windowpane and its climbing spring leaves contrast the dismal fate of this historic landmark.

在探访安大略省沃克威尔闲置而爬满植物的Walker电力大厦时，我注意到落在窗户上的我的影子显得那么的孤独。窗玻璃鲜亮的颜色和爬在上面的绿叶与这座曾经的地标建筑的凄惨命运形成了鲜明的对比。

After a safari in the Masai Mara Park we were racing back to our camp trying to get home before sunset. No one is allowed out in the park after dark. When I saw this photo op I had to convince our driver to stop just for a second so I could take this one picture. It was worth the risk of a fine for being out after sunset but fortunately we made it back in time.

结束了在马赛马拉公园的旅行，我们急匆匆地赶向营地，以便能在日落之前回家。这个公园禁止游客在天黑后留在户外。当我看到这幅画面时，我必须说服我们的司机把车停下来一会，以便我能拍下这一场景。冒因天黑后继续留在户外而被罚款的险是值得的，但幸运的是，我们把这点时间追了回来。
