Chino, California, USA

Thank you for serving. A wave of popular culture has rolled over streetside landscapes all over America as towns and cities have hoisted banners honoring home town heroes who have served this country in uniform. Today is Veterans Day, you know! [2015]

Denver, Colorado, USA

When you go the zoo, don't forget to visit the Democratic exhibit. Then, think how much more good your annual contribution to the Democratic Party would do if it were made to donkey habitats rather than a run for office. Wouldn't you rather help a Somali Wild Ass? [2013]

Miami, Florida, USA

When you go the zoo, don't forget to visit the Republican exhibit. Then, think how much more good your annual contribution to the Republican Party would do if it were made to elephant habitats rather than a run for office. Wouldn't you rather help Elephas maximus. [2014]

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

 

It seems like the U.S. presidential campaign has been going on for eternity already, but we have one more full revolution around the sun to go before we can actually vote. One year from today, though, we will be on our way to the polls: with our jackets on in most of the country. [2014]

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Elephants used to abound in Southeast Asia. Now, thanks to human greed, they are an endangered species. You can probably see more elephants in statuary in Malaysia than in the wild. Here are three small ones, maybe pygmies, gathered around a watering hole. [2011]

Mumbai, India

Markets abound everywhere in Mumbai, including Vile Parle. Here you can buy some flowers and something to put them in. Think there's a temple nearby? [2011]

Caye Caulker, Belize

In a city, windows frame the world for participant observers, but on a tropical island, palm trees do the job, all the while holding down the sand and holding up the sky. [2015]
