Moose Cow and Calf, Mayfield Lake

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features

Morning draws a moose cow and calf into the shallows of Mayfield Lake in British Columbia. With a rich array of species, including several types of large mammals, the M-K offers a unique window on wildlife. Few roads open into the region, limiting human access—but not animal behavior, says Kathy Parker, a professor of wildlife ecology at the University of Northern British Columbia. A relatively intact landscape has helped keep ecosystems intact and let animals retain flexibility in what they eat and how they migrate. "Animals in the M-K still have a lot of options," Parker says. "It allows animals to use more than one strategy to make a living, which may be important for long-term survival and reproduction."

晨光把一对驼鹿母子带入不列颠哥伦比亚省Mayfield湖的浅滩。拥有包括多种大型哺乳动物在内的丰富物种，Mayfield湖为人们提供一个独一无二的观察野生动植物的途径。北不列颠哥伦比亚大学的野生动植物生态学教授Kathy Parker说，为了限制人类进入，几乎没有路修到这里——但这不会影响动物活动。一个相对原始的环境有助于保存原有生态系统，也能让动物保持对食物和迁徙的适应。“Mayfield湖区的动物依然有很多选择的自由，”Parker说，“动物们都有不止一种的生存方式，这对于长期生存繁衍是非常重要的。”

Nuorilang means "grand" in Tibetan. Jiuzhaigou’s Nuorilang Falls, cascading 80 feet (24 meters) down in the clear mountain light 7,700 feet (2,350 meters) above sea level, offers a suitably grand—and popular—backdrop for bridal photography.

诺日朗在藏语里是雄伟的意思。在九寨沟海拨7700英尺（2350米）的地方，诺日朗瀑布在明亮的山光中飞流直下，落差达80英尺（24米），为婚纱摄影提供了一个合适的宏大而时尚的背景。

组里去桐庐玩，于是不用加班。

正好明天下午浸会来浙图开招生说明会，准备去听一下。

这个周末还有CQWW WPX SSB比赛，老板在板上招人去他家玩，打算明天晚上或者后天去玩会儿。搬1舍以后架不好天线，好久没玩短波了。

Chicago City Lights

This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features

Chicago at night burns bright under blankets of clouds. Much of the glow escapes from streetlamps, including clear, Victorian-style lamps good for creating atmosphere but poor for harnessing today’s extra-bright bulbs.

芝加哥城之光

本月每日一图的主题是：国家地理杂志专题

深夜，云层下的芝加哥灯火通明。大部分光线来自于路灯，包括明亮的维多利亚风格路灯，这种灯非常适合营造氛围，但远无法与如今的超亮型灯泡相比。

劳工们搬运着从Tansa河里挖出来的沙石，承包商把这些沙石卖给孟买北部的修路人——这是一项为几百名村民，还有来自印度其它地方的工人们提供了工作机会的工程。
