A fisherman repairs his fishing net in Gundalaba village, about 100 km (62 miles) east from the eastern Indian city of Bhubaneswar March 14, 2007. The scattered carcasses of dead turtles bake on the hot sand. Scraps of the soft white shells of turtle eggs surround a hole where stray dogs have dug up a lonely nest. Until a decade ago, this beach on India's east coast used to witness one of nature's most spectacular sights -- the mass nesting of tens of thousands of olive ridley turtles on a single night.

A man stands in front of the tomb Babur in Kabul April 9, 2007. The empire of Babur, the 16th century founder of the Mughal dynasty, stretched from Samarkand to central India, but he died pining for Kabul and insisting on being buried in the place he called paradise on earth.
