  • Tourists visit the abandoned Zoroastrian towers of silence in the city of Yazd, Iran.  Zoroastrians brought their dead to towers of silence to be eaten by birds before the practice was outlawed by the Iranian government.  The bodies of the dead were considered unclean by Zoroastrians and so corpses were put atop the towers (often hilltops) so that the earth would not be polluted by the remains. Today Zoroastrians in the community are buried in a nearby cemetery, although placed so that the body does not touch the earth.

After much negotiation, including additional talks with SALT officials, the Green Valley complex of the 390th Strategic Missile Wing was opened to the public. Deep in the ground, behind a couple of 6,000 pound blast doors is the silo itself. The 110 foot tall missile weighed 170 tons when it was fueled and ready to fly.

  • Static electricity. Young boy holding the dome of a Van de Graaff generator, which makes his hair stand on end. The generator creates a negative charge of static electricity. When the boy touches the dome the charge passes from the dome (where it would otherwise be stored) on to his hands, and through to his hair. As the individual hairs become charged they repel each other, causing them to stand on end. Photographed at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, USA. MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • Van de Graaff generator display at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania . Pamela Gross demonstrates static electricity. A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator used to produce a high voltage, usually in the megavolt range. Physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff invented it. The generator creates a negative charge of static electricity. When the girl touches the dome the charge passes from the dome (where it would otherwise be stored) on to her hands, and through to her hair. As the individual hairs become charged they repel each other, causing them to stand on end.  MODEL RELEASED (1991)

  • BASE jumper parachuting from 900-foot New River Gorge bridge on Bridge Day in West Virginia, USA. BASE jumping is the sport of using a parachute to jump from fixed objects. "BASE" is an acronym that stands for the four categories of objects from which one can jump; (B)uilding, (A)ntenna (an uninhabited tower such as an aerial mast), (S)pan (a bridge, arch or dome), and (E)arth (a cliff or other natural formation). BASE jumping is much more dangerous than skydiving from aircraft and is currently regarded as a fringe extreme sport. -from Wikipedia.

  • Lick Observatory. Time exposure image showing star trails over a telescope dome at the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton in California, USA. In the foreground are trails from red taillights of a car. Astronomers often carry red flashlights so that their night vision is not affected. Completed in 1888 at an altitude of 1280 meters, Lick was the world's first permanent mountaintop observatory. Its location provided excellent viewing conditions for years until light pollution from the nearby city of San Jose began to interfere with results. In 1997 the observatory is operated by California University. Star trails are caused by what seems to be the motion of the stars due to the rotation of the Earth about its axis.
