This series of images was taken in the Tibetan grasslands, which are now part of the Sichuan province in China. This was taken in October 2009, in the first week that morning services were allowed to resume. The local government had shut down all monastery activities due to the unrest in the area.

The Great Mosque of Djenne, one of the largest mud buildings in the world, has always been a great centre for Islamic learning and pilgrimages in West Africa. Although the current structure dates back only to 1907, the first mosque on this site was built in the 13th century.

Enal is around 6 years old. He knows this shark well - it lives in a penned off area of ocean beneath his stilted house in Wangi, Indonesia. It is very rare for someone to have this kind of connection with a shark.

Contemporary marine conservation must incorporate an array of world views and cultural understandings of the ocean. Here an Antiguan freediver flaunts western scuba diving etiquette to pick up a stingray from the floor of the Caribbean.
