2006-10-01<BR>　　Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, Date Unknown<BR>　　Photograph by Bruce Dale<BR>　　A young child carries a red balloon on October 1, the anniversary of the day communist leader Mao Zedong inaugurated the People's Republic of China in 1949. The proclamation came after half a century of conflict: the fall of the last Chinese emperor, the Japanese invasion, World War II, and a civil war between communist and nationalist forces. The second half of the 20th century was no more peaceful as the new government attempted to rebuild and unify the country under communism's strict guidelines. <BR>　　(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, the National Geographic book Journey Into China, 1982) <BR>　　<BR><BR><IMG src="http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/pod/pictures/lg_wallpaper/02451_804.jpg"><BR>

　2006-10-29<BR>　　Paris, France, 2002<BR>　　Photograph by William Albert Allard<BR>　　High above the streets of Paris, a bird's eye view reveals some of the chicest addresses in the capital of chic. The story of the Marais is a riches-to-rags-to-riches tale of a neighborhood that carries its scars with a decidedly bohemian style. <BR>　　(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Bohemian Rhapsody," August 2003, National Geographic magazine)<BR>　　<BR><BR><IMG src="http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/pod/pictures/lg_wallpaper/MM6928_133.jpg"><BR>

　2006-10-28<BR>　　Ginnie Springs, Florida, 1998<BR>　　Photograph by Wes Skiles<BR>　　Deep within the complex web of Florida's aquifers, a diver releases dye in the crystal clear waters of Ginnie Springs to determine the path of the current. Unlike deep sea diving, where depth and uncontrolled ascent are the great dangers, the peril of cave diving is disorientation. The currents swirling between tunnels and caves don't always lead back to open water. <BR>　　(Text adapted from and photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "Unlocking the Labyrinth of North Florida Springs," March 1999, National Geographic magazine)<BR>　　<BR><BR><IMG src="http://lava.nationalgeographic.com/pod/pictures/lg_wallpaper/06430_27.jpg"><BR>

2006-10-26<BR>　　Nile River, Egypt, Date Unknown<BR>　　Photograph by Winfield Parks<BR>　　"Like a mirage, fishermen work the river in the golden mists of early morning. Men in the stern of each boat hold the ends of the net, hoping for a catch to sell in a nearby village; their partners row.

　2006-10-25<BR>　　Leningrad, USSR, Date Unknown<BR>　　Photograph by Dean Conger<BR>　　The cruiser Aurora is permanently docked on the Neva River next to the Nakhimov Navy School in St. Petersburg.
