  • The sacred Jain site of Sravanbelgola, 93km north of Mysore, consists of two hills and a large Tank. On one of the hills, Indragiri (also known as Vindhyagiri), stands an extraordinary eighteen meter high monolithic statue of a naked  male figure, Gomateshvara, which is the largest freestanding sculpture in India. The name of the other hill is Chandragiri, marking the arrival of Jainism in southern India.

  • Pigs/Swine/Hog: A huge breeding boar named Shank at the Dee Brothers hog farm, State Center, Iowa. This 800 lb. breeding boar named Shank had rarely been outside of his breeding barn before this photograph. The only other time the hog had been outdoors was to have his picture taken with then President Ronald Reagan. USA.

  • Emil Madsen is on the hunt for a seal just after midnight in Scoresby Sound, the enormous fjord on Greenland's eastern side.  (Emil Madsen is featured in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.)  Later tonight he will shoot that seal and bring it back home for his wife, Erika, to clean and cook. MODEL RELEASED.

  • Here COG,(short for cognitive) is seen using a slinky toy. Cog's designer is Rodney Brooks, head of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, in Cambridge, Mass. Although some might be discouraged by the disparity between the enormous amount of thought and labor that went into it and the apparently meager results (simulating the intelligence of a six month old baby), Brooks draws a different conclusion. That so much is required to come close to simulating a baby's mind, he believes, only shows the fantastic complexity inherent in the task of producing an artificially intelligent humanoid robot.

  • Intended to provide 360-degree images of its surroundings, Omniclops, the robot "omnicamera," is being developed by Hagen Schempf (holding Omniclops) of the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. Schempf is now with the Robotics Engineering Consortium in Pittsburgh, PA. Founded in 1994 with seed money from NASA, the consortium is located off the Carnegie Mellon campus and operates with great autonomy in this enormous facility. Behind Schempf on the main floor are autonomous forklifts; out of sight, other rooms are chockablock with robotic harvesters and mine diggers. The forklift, which can understand commands like "unload the truck in bay 4," should be deployed in Ford factories by the end of 2000. From the book Robo sapiens: Evolution of a New Species, page 144.

  • (MODEL RELEASED IMAGE). With a single expert rifle shot, Emil Madsen kills a seal just after midnight in Scoresby Sound, the enormous fjord on Greenland's eastern side. At the bullet's point of impact, a crown of water rises from the sea. The sound does not disturb Emil's son Abraham or his nephew Julian, who have fallen asleep under some old jackets in the bow. Hungry Planet: What the World Eats (p. 150).

  • Close up of a boy's leg that is affected by elephantiasis in the village of Kouakourou, Mali. Elephantiasis is a largely irreversible enlargement and thickening of tissues; specifically, the enormous enlargement of a limb caused by obstruction of lymphatics by filarial worms (especially Wuchereria bancrofti).
