Photo of the Day 476
Photograph by Paul A. Zahl The extraordinary bubble eye wears marble-size, fluid-filled eye sacs like water wings. The breed is only one in a gallery of bizarre variations of the common goldfish. Developed over ten centuries by Asian breeders, this living art of the East today attracts growing numbers of Western aquarists. (Photo shot on assignment for "Those Outlandish Goldfish!"

Photograph by Amy Toensing Under cloudy night skies, palm trees stand awash in green light on Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico. This scenic view of an empty beach may be deceiving—more than four million people inhabit this island, which is only a hundred miles (160 kilometers) long and 35 miles (56 kilometers) wide.

Photograph by Annie Griffiths Belt Deep in thought on his boat near the snowy banks of the Yellowstone River, a fisherman examines his bait. The Yellowstone River is the longest undammed river remaining in the lower 48 states, flowing for 670 miles (1,078 kilometers) through Wyoming and Montana before ending in North Dakota, where it joins the Missouri River.

Photograph by Vincent J. Musi For many people, diners—and their colorful employees—represent relics of a slower, gentler era. Historians trace the first diner to 1872 in Providence, Rhode Island, where pressman Walter Scott sold food from a horse-drawn wagon parked outside the Providence Journal newspaper office. Nostalgic for the "good old days," Americans today are fueling a 21st-century diner revival.
