Sydney, Australia, 1978 Photograph by Robert W. Madden A duck leaves a
clear trail as it swims through algae-covered waters in Sydneybut the
duck isn't the only "green" lover in this bustling city. Laborers
working on Sydney&#039s famed opera house refused to build an
underground parking garage next door for fear of killing three historic
fig trees in the Botanic Gardens.

published in, "Sydney," February 1979, National Geographic  magazine)
