A 360-degree spherical panorama of a beach in Marigot, Saint Martin, from 9 images which uses stereographic projection to create a globe. This is called the "little planet" effect, when the area close to the point opposite to the center of projection becomes significantly enlarged.

Lights along the fire line memorialize the Rotterdam Blitz, 14 May 2007.
On this day in 1940, the Luftwaffe bombarded the city of Rotterdam as part of the German invasion of the Netherlands.
About 2.6 km² (1 sq mi) of the city was levelled and as a result, the Netherlands surrendered to Germany.

Description:
Mary of Teck was the Queen Consort of King George V as well as the Empress of India. Before her accession, she was successively Duchess of York, Duchess of Cornwall and Princess of Wales. By birth, she was a princess of Teck, in the Kingdom of Württemberg, with the style Her Serene Highness. To her family, she was informally known as May, after her birth month. Queen Mary was known for setting the tone of the British Royal Family, as a model of regal formality and propriety, especially during state occasions. She was the first Queen Consort to attend the coronation of her successors. Noted for superbly bejewelling herself for formal events, Queen Mary left a collection of jewels now considered priceless.

Description:
The White-fronted Capuchin (Cebus albifrons) is a New World primate, endemic to six countries in South America: Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru. Like other capuchin monkeys, it is also an omnivorous animal, feeding primarily on fruits, although it can also eat invertebrates and other plant parts. It is a polygamous animal and lives in fairly large groups (15 to 35 individuals), giving birth to a single young at biennial intervals.

A carpenter at work on Douglas Dam, Tennessee in 1942. He is using a crank-powered brace to drill a hole. Carpentry is the term for a wide range of woodworking that includes constructing buildings, furniture, and other objects out of wood. The work generally involves significant manual labor and work outdoors, particularly in rough carpentry. In British and Australian slang a carpenter is sometimes referred to as a "chippie". The German word for carpenter is "Zimmermann", and hence is the source for the surname of many people in German and English-speaking countries.

Ice hockey player Wayne Gretzky, as a member of the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL) in 1997. Gretzky, nicknamed "The Great One", is widely considered the best hockey player of all time. Upon his retirement in 1999, he held forty regular-season records, fifteen playoff records, and six All-Star records. He is the only NHL player to total over 200 points in one season—a feat he accomplished four times. In addition, he tallied over 100 points in 15 NHL seasons, 13 of them consecutively. He is the only player to have his number (99) officially retired by the NHL for all teams.

Two racers cross the finish line of the 250cc class at the 2007 Swifts Creek lawn mower races. In this motorsport, competitors race modified lawn mowers, usually of the ride-on or self-propelled variety. Original mower engines are retained but blades are removed for safety. Lawn mowers have also been used in kart racing, a different sport.
