  • An elevated view from a tower over the city of Turin, capital city of Piedmont in northern Italy. It is  that is known for its refined architecture and cuisine the in southern Alps. Stately baroque buildings and old cafes line Turin's boulevards and grand squares such as Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo. Nearby is the soaring spire of the Mole Antonelliana, a 19th-century tower housing the interactive National Cinema Museum. <br />
The first capital of united Italy in 1861, Turin went on to become one of the main economic and industrial cities in the country in the 20th century thanks to its car industry. The city is the home to Fiat, which also owns Lancia and Alfa Romeo, and Iveco trucks.

  • Aerial view of Jackson Park and "Golden Lady" sculpture. Installed in 1918, the Statue of the Republic commemorates the twenty-fifth anniversary of the World’s Columbian Exposition and the centennial of statehood for Illinois. The twenty-four-foot-tall gilded bronze sculpture is a much smaller and slightly modified version of Daniel Chester French’s original sixty-five-foot-tall Statue of the Republic, one of the most iconic features of the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. Downtown Chicago is to the north and Lake Michigan lies to the east of Jackson Park.

  • Shadows sweep across Sheep Meadow, a 15-acre space where people congregate for picnics on in New York City. Until 1934, a shepherd stopped traffic on the west drive so his flock could travel to and from their meadow.<br />
An elevated view shows woodlands dwarfed by buildings line the east boundary of Central Park and modern urban life surrounds the entire perimeter of the pastoral park.<br />
When Central Park was being considered, most New Yorkers lived below 38th Street in crowded, chaotic quarters. Frederick Law Olmsted planned the park with Calvert Vaux as a refuge from urban stress in a natural environment. The Park’s design embodies Olmsted’s social consciousness and commitment to egalitarian ideals.

  • Twilight scene from above snow-covered New York's Central Park. An elevated view shows a curved road planned by Frederick Law Olmsted to create a greater sense of space and mystery about what was to come around the next bend.<br />
Olmsted partnered with Calvert Vaux to plan “Greensward,” and won a design competition to make the what became a beloved urban park. When the idea was conceived, New York was much smaller and no one could imagine the open space surrounded by a city with tall buildings. Olmsted was a visionary and understood that man needed nature to combat the stresses of city life.  Construction began in 1858  and was completed fifteen years later. Central Park was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963 and is now managed by Central Park Conservancy, a nonprofit which contributes eighty five percent of the park’s $37.5 budget. More than thirty-five million visitors to Manhattan come to the park annually.

  • An aerial view of the Wooded Isle in Chicago's Jackson Park. Located south of the city on Lake Michigan, the park was planned in 1890 and designed  for the World's Fair. <br />
Frederick Law Olmsted worked with Calvert Vaux to create the park with a lagoon that started as a treeless marsh. Olmsted planned terraces and pedestrian walkways that were surrounded by neo-classical styled buildings. The one on the north side of the park presently houses the Museum of Science and Industry.

  • Elevated view of sunbathers in New York's Central Park. Shadows sweep across Sheep Meadow, a 15-acre space where people congregate for picnics on in New York City on Sunday afternoon. Until 1934, a shepherd stopped traffic on the west drive so his flock could travel to and from their meadow.<br />
When Central Park was just an idea, most New Yorkers lived below 38th Street in crowded, chaotic quarters. Frederick Law Olmsted planned the park with Calvert Vaux as a refuge from urban stress in a natural environment. The Park’s design embodies Olmsted’s social consciousness and commitment to egalitarian ideals.<br />
Today, woodlands dwarfed by high-rise buildings line the east boundary of Central Park and modern urban life surrounds the entire perimeter of the pastoral park.

  • Although high-rises ring its harbor and it ranks as Chile's business seaport, Valparaiso has never fully reclaimed the glory it enjoyed before 1914, when the opening of the Panama Canals redirected much of its business.  Cars and buses navigate hilly streets in a twilight view of the harbor with cargo ship, and skyline.

  • The brittle remains of dead larch forest extend mile after mile southeastward f rom the Siberian mining town of Norilsk.  This area, known as the dead tree zon e, is a 75-mile stretch of critical environmental damage directly attributed to the to the noxious material dispersed from Norilsk's nickel and copper smeltering factorie s.  Norilsk pumps out 8 percent of all the air pollution in Russia--more than t wo million tons of pollutants a year, mainly sulfur dioxide.
