2. The shoreline -- of the sea, lakes, and rivers -- is a dynamic
interface of civilization and the natural world. It exerts a powerful
draw on us. That transition space holds beauty and carries
risk, the zone where we at once embrace and battle the
environment in which we exist. The shoreline provides
food, recreation, breeding grounds, commerce, peace, and even
primal fear. Two thirds of the world's largest cities lie in low-
elevation coastal areas, vulnerable to sea rise even as population
trends show us increasingly dwelling in urban areas. Gathered
here are images exploring our attraction to the water's
edge. Lane Turner (46 photos total)
