RM2GGBR3Y–A close-up of two of the thousands of large and small fish that washed ashore on sandy beaches along Casey Key after dying from a red tide in the Gulf of Mexico on the west coast of Florida, USA. A red tide is a higher-than-normal concentration of a microscopic alga that produces toxic chemicals harmful to both marine life and humans. In addition to its unpleasant smell, a red tide can create airborne toxins that cause serious illness in people with severe or chronic respiratory conditions, such as emphysema or asthma. Red tides have been documented along Florida's Gulf coast since the 1840s.

RF2G6NXD1–This young nine-banded armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus) lies dead on a blacktop roadway in central Florida, USA.

Of the 20 species of armadillo that exist throughout the Americas, the nine-banded armadillo is the only one found in the U.S. This mostly nocturnal animal is common in Florida except for the Everglades and The Keys.

Since this historical photograph was taken in 1983, Fremont St. has been covered with a canopy that is the world's longest video screen and presents an overhead sound-and-light show to visitors in the pedestrian-only street below.
RM2DAB8TG–One of the 25 six-foot-tall bronze statues of 'The Thinker' by famed French sculptor Auguste Rodin sits in front of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. It was cast after the artist's death in 1917 and purchased for public display in that Midwestern American city in 1948. Air pollution, especially acid rain, can harm the greenish patina of copper-based bronze sculptures and sometimes cause black streaking to occur on the surface, as seen here.
RM2DAB8P8–The charming coastal seaport of Camden, Maine, USA, is the iconic New England town with its white steepled church and a harbor full of modern and classic sailboats. These include historic schooners that offer sailing trips in Penobscot Bay and along the northeastern shores on the Atlantic Ocean.
RM2DAB8WF–A park ranger leads visitors to ancient fossil formations known as stromatolites during a guided nature tour of Glacier National Park, a vast wilderness preserve in northwestern Montana, USA. These round rock-like structures were formed in shallow waters as long ago as 3 billion years when living microorganisms called cyanobacteria trapped layers of sediment. Geological features like stromatolites are among the many natural attractions for visitors to this pristine scenic region that was established as America's 10th national park in 1910.

RM2DAB8MW–Street musicians giving performances on the sidewalk to attract donations from passersby are a common sight in the Deep South city that is famous for its jazz music, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Many entertainers move daily to different spots in the city, although some can be found at their usual locations, such as Jackson Square. Also in the French Quarter is Royal Street, a favorite of many buskers who perform alone or in a small ensemble for tips from tourists. A clarinet, trombone, trumpets and a drum set are the favored instruments of this musical group of five men and a lively dancer.
RM2DAB8P4–This bronze statue of a fisherman at a ship's wheel looks toward the harbor in Gloucester, Massachusetts, USA, as a memorial to the thousands of fishermen lost at sea during the first three centuries (1623-1923) of that New England town's history. Taken from a biblical psalm is the monument's well-known inscription: 'They that go down to the sea in ships.' It is chiseled on a large block of granite that holds the 8-foot-tall (2.4 meter) statue by English sculptor Leonard Craske. This famous memorial is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
RM2DAB8WJ–A line of hikers on a ranger-led tour cross an icy remnant of the receding Grinnell Glacier, a longtime attraction in Glacier National Park, a vast wilderness preserve in northwestern Montana, USA. The glacier was named for George Bird Grinnell, an early conservationist who discovered the ice field in 1885 and helped the pristine region to be established as America's 10th national park in 1910. Unfortunately the numerous glaciers for which the park is named have suffered from climate change over the years. From an estimated 146 glaciers in the mid-19th century, only 26 named glaciers remain.
RM2DAB8T2–A visitor admires the towering outdoor artwork of famed sculptor Alexander Calder at the General Motors Technical Center in the Detroit suburb of Warren, Michigan, USA. Designed by internationally-renowned father and son architects, Eliel and Eero Saarinen, the modernistic GM Tech Center represented industrial America when it opened in 1956 with 25 buildings spread over a 320-acres (130 hectares). The widely-praised complex ushered in a new and novel architectural theme: the corporate campus, which hailed the arrival of corporations as centers of learning, scientific patronage, and power.
RM2DAB8P3–Balconies and overhangs of lacy black wrought iron enhance the 6-story facade of the Omni Royal Orleans, one of the most historic hotels in the famed French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Such ornamental ironworks are hallmarks of the city's varied architecture, including the Renaissance Revival style shown here. Additional guestroom balconies of wrought iron have been added since this photograph was taken in 1984. Once known as the St. Louis, the current hotel was built in 1960 to replace earlier grand lodgings dating as far back as 1843 that were destroyed by fire and a hurricane.

RM2D7W9XP–Simple furnishings are seen in the interior of this log cabin in New Salem, now an historical village that was once home to Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States. He moved to the small central Illinois settlement in 1831 at the age of 22 and stayed for six years before becoming a lawyer and politician. Notable is the chess board with wooden playing pieces, and a porcelain chamber pot next to the bed. New Salem only existed for about a dozen years before being abandoned. Reconstructed in the 1930-40s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), it features 23 log buildings.

The artwork is inlaid with thousands of colorful stone and glass chips in more than 250 colors. This is a very small section of Chagall's remarkable creation that wraps around four sides of a rectangular box that is 14 feet (4.3 meters) high and has a circumference of 160 feet (49 meters).
