In windswept Iowa, ears of mature corn dry ahead of the autumn harvest. Last year the state yielded nearly 62 million tons of the crop—vital for livestock feed and ethanol production—making it the top U.S. grower of golden kernels.

在秋风吹拂的爱荷华州，成熟的玉米穗在秋收前已然风干。去年该州产出近6200万吨玉米——家畜饲养和乙醇生产不可或缺的原料——使之成为美国金黄色玉米粒产量最大的州。

A tender moment transpires between mother and infant orangutans in Borneo’s Tanjung Puting National Park. The arboreal species has one of the longest intervals between births among mammals, typically around eight years.

Burning hot on a winter’s day, a brush fire consumes a patch of dried marsh, drawing spectators at a golf course in Denver, Colorado. Fueled by wind and low humidity, the blaze charred dozens of acres.

在科罗拉多州丹佛市，冬日里一处熊熊燃烧的野火，吞噬了一小块枯竭的沼泽地，这引来了高尔夫场上的旁观者。风和低湿度加剧了火势，大火烧焦了数十英亩地。

Kitchener, Ontario

安大略省 基秦拿市

“When I left Santa Fe,” says Gravelle, 46, a part-time storm chaser vacationing in New Mexico, “I was sure there’d be a tornado near Springfield, Colorado.” He was right. This twister “stayed in the open country, away from people or buildings, rotating at 120 mph but only moving at 5 mph.”

“当我离开圣菲市时，”在新墨西哥州度假的46岁兼职风暴追逐者格莱威尔说道，“我确信在科罗拉多州的斯普林菲尔德市会出现龙卷风。”他说对了。该龙卷风“停留在开阔的乡野，远离人群和建筑，以120英里的时速旋转，而仅以5英里的时速移动。”

Mount Dandenong, Australia

On a solo bike trip from Argentina to Ecuador, Sing, 36, met two companions in southern Bolivia. One was Carl-David Granback, whom he photographed (using Granback’s camera) at this crossroads. After deliberation, the cyclists went left.

在一次从阿根廷到厄瓜多尔的单人自行车旅行中，36岁的辛在南玻利维亚遇到两位同伴。他给其中一位名叫卡尔-大卫 ● 格兰贝克的人在该岔路口拍摄了这张照片（用的是格兰贝克的相机）。经过一番商议，这些骑行者选择了左边的路。
