Clear blue water fills the Pingyuan Reservoir, located just outside of Zhaodong City in northeastern China. Water stored here serves the more than 100,000 inhabitants of Zhaodong and surrounding farms of Heilongjiang Province, which grow soybeans, maize, wheat, potatoes, beets and flax. For a sense of scale, the Pingyuan Reservoir covers about 1.32 square miles (3.4 square kilometers) — roughly the same area as Central Park in Manhattan.

Calm waves roll into São Martinho do Porto — a village in Portugal with a shell-shape bay surrounded by a sand beach. The bay formed when a strip of land along the coast was eroded and then divided by the Atlantic Ocean. Because the opening to the ocean is still relatively small (825 feet or 250 meters), the waves that roll into the beach are almost always calm.
