The Blue Mosque, Istanbul

Photograph by Dave Yoder

Istanbul's Blue Mosque, nicknamed for the color of its interior tiles, welcomes the faithful as well as visitors by the thousands. Writing about the city "where East meets West" in Traveler's October 2010 issue, author Pico Iyer says: "Here is a place whose Blue Mosque has an LCD screen flashing the time in Paris and Tokyo. Turkey's most cosmopolitan metropolis has more billionaires than any city but Moscow, New York, and London."

Fakarava Atoll, French Polynesia

Photograph by Aaron Huey

Sharks prowl the waters off the Fakarava atoll—home to a laid-back Polynesian community where visitors can escape the hubbub of modern life—as the tide carries a circus of reef fish through the South Pass. Divers and snorkelers equipped at local dive shops time their swims for these tidal surges, when the lagoons are at their liveliest.

Read “In Search of the Black Pearl” in the October 2010 issue of National Geographic Traveler.

State Street, Chicago

Photograph by Melissa Farlow

City lights along State Street penetrate an evening rain in Chicago, likely nicknamed the Windy City for the strong breezes that flow off adjacent Lake Michigan. Over 200 neighborhoods and community areas, all distinctive in their own way, spread west from the lake, with an aggregate population approaching three million. Despite its size and historic industrial might, the city is now known for its environmental ethic.
