The moon at Jiayuguan Pass, China.

The climate of the desert state of Rajasthan, India is hot and dry and the main form of transportation is by camel. I was traveling through on a camel safari when we stopped, late in the afternoon, at a small village. A young woman with a golden bowl balanced on her head came out of an old house near where the camels had been tied. The light was warm and I motioned with my camera. She took the bowl off her head and let me take one frane before she disappeared back into her house. - Kraig Lieb, 1989.

The Tokyo district of Rygoku is home of one of Japan's most famous Sumo wrestling facilities. Sumo wrestlers train very strenuously for their six annual basho tournaments, and must consume up to 10,000 calories a day to achieve and maintain their enormous stature. When they're not in training however, they can be seen strolling the city sidewalks wearing blue and white cotton robes called yukata.
