• photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — She walks alone every morning to the river carrying an old plastic jerry can. One of the first tasks handed down to girls, one of the last given up by widows. Day after day, days measured in liters, days spilled onto floors and through dirty fingers. Disappearing into cracks. God! You can imagine having children simply to escape this chore and sometimes I’ve heard mothers say so. A joke made without laughter. After a while I think: I’d do it. There is no reward but survival and no skill in the fetching except on certain magical days when you’re able to convince another girl to fetch for you, or a smaller brother not yet old enough to know that this is women’s work. Today wasn’t that day. She lifts her skirt to keep it dry and turns homeward. Tells herself not to mind. Says, It’s all right. Half of everyone is doing it, after all. You see all the footprints. It’s a good spot and clear of crocodiles. A mindless job but not so hard. If the shore mud is slick, she’ll slip and sink under the weight of her water. If it’s dry, she’ll save a few minutes and arrive sooner back in the village, before the sun gets angry. But really what’s the difference? The wet season has ended and the river is shrinking. She takes notice like a commuter watching traffic crawl from a city. There is no meaning. It’s no one’s fault. Every morning she must go a little farther. For the last six years, Randy Olson and I have been documenting culture, change, and conflict in the watershed that connects southern Ethiopia and northern Kenya. In the August issue of @natgeo magazine we’ll publish the latest in our series, #NGwatershedstories. Join us at @randyolson and @neilshea13 as we follow water through the desert. #2009 #africa #ethiopia #omoriver #nyangatom #girls #women #work #life #rivers #conservation @geneticislands #documentary #reportage #poetry #instajournalism #instaessay #natgeo @thephotosociety @natgeocreative by natgeo http://ift.tt/1MDU7zk

• NASA released the first image of Earth from its Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite on July 20, 2015. The image was taken from one million miles away – the Lagrange point 1 (the position where our Earth and the Sun exert the same amount of gravitational force on an object such as this satellite, which, as a result, requires minimal power to maintain its position). NASA says the photo was snapped with a Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC), a four megapixel CCD camera, and a telescope. Starting from September, the camera will take daily photos of Earth, which will be uploaded to a website every 12 to 36 hours. The satellite will also monitor solar activities, offering Earth an early warning system before a surge of particles and magnetic field reaches the planet. Photo by @NASA.

• Photo by @brianlehmannphotography | A taxi driver in #Havana, #Cuba waits for passengers during rush hour. Havana seems as if it has been frozen in time. There are thousands of 1950s-style vintage American cars on the streets. Today, after more than 50 years, the United States Embassy in Cuba was reopened. #vintage #car #photooftheday #natgeo #travel by natgeo http://ift.tt/1gKZgve

• The ruins of Paricutin, Mexico. Photo by @salvarezphoto (Stephen Alvarez) In 1943 lava from the erupting Paricutin volcano consumed the town of the same name leaving only the tower and part of the church nave as a reminder of the community that once stood here. The eruption itself lasted 9 years. Even though the volcano has been extinct since 1952 the lava field still steams in the cool early morning air. #lumiaxnatgeo #Mexico #Paricutin @lumiaxnatgeo by natgeo http://ift.tt/1Vo2h4Q

• Layana Leonardo (@layleonardo) and Antônio Adriano (@antonyadriano) originally set out to recreate Brazilian vinyl records through portrait photography. “But then, we realized we could do something more relevant, something where other people might even participate,” says Antônio. Layana’s passion for music and Antônio’s love for photography inspired them to create @brasilmostratuacapa, a project where they use Brazilian album covers as faces and also feature submissions from the #sleeveface hashtag. Their creative process is very collaborative: “To portray the cover, we try to find the perfect clothing and venue to take the photographs.” From the beginning, paying homage to Brazilian sounds and visuals was very important. “When we started out, the #sleeveface hashtag was already really popular, but there were almost no photos of Brazilian records,” says Layana, who describes herself as totally addicted to Brazilian music, from the old to the new. “I have a lot of vinyl records, and most of them are Brazilian. It’s very hard to resist nice vinyl records and their beautiful album covers. It really is an addiction!” Photo by @isbabs by instagram http://ift.tt/1Lq9vlM

• Photo taken by @stevemccurryofficial // I landed in Cuba ten days ago, and am glad to be here during the historic agreement between Cuba and the United States. As of yesterday, July 20, 2015, the United States and Cuba have re-established diplomatic relations. For the first time since 1961, each has reopened their embassies. There are many vintage cars including this Russian one. by natgeo http://ift.tt/1g1Yt9s
