阿拉斯加，竞相啄食的白腰朱顶雀  MAY 26, 2013 Redpolls, Alaska Photograph by Tim Grams, Your Shot Common redpolls visit Anchorage every few years in large numbers. So many that they will crowd out the usual winter residents that visit our feeders—black-capped and boreal chickadees, nuthatches, and juncos. The large flocks inspired me to try a different perspective. I used a plate of regular glass for the bottom and cut clear acrylic for sides and support. I fastened the visible portion of the feeder to a simple wooden tripod that I built, then supported my camera on a photo tripod beneath the feeder. I used a wireless trigger to release the shutter on the camera. It took four to five hours to build, and I refined it several times. The images were taken in our backyard in Anchorage, Alaska.      这幅景象拍摄于阿拉斯加·安克拉治的我家后院。这里每隔几年就会有大批的白腰朱顶雀迁徙过来。因此同样就会有很多冬季居民围挤在我家的喂食器边啄食——这些居民是黑顶北山雀、五子雀、灯心草雀等等。这大堆的鸟儿们激发了我的灵感，最终我选择把它们作为另类的远景。我用一个四四方方的玻璃底盘子，加上切割好的透明树脂制品分别作盘子的边缘和盘子腿，这样就成了一个喂食器；再把相机放在喂食器下面...

洪都拉斯，珊瑚礁之行 MAY 25, 2013 Coral Reef, Honduras Photograph by Jessica Karcz, Your Shot After snorkeling with my family in the breathtaking coral reefs of Roatan, Honduras, I sat outside the balcony of the cruise ship we were traveling on to admire the life and beauty of the ocean. I took the photo with a Nikon D3100 with an 18-55mm lens while the boat was lifting the anchors of the cruise ship just before we sailed away.     旅行可以让我们很好地享受生活并且欣赏海洋之美。途中路经洪都拉斯·罗阿坦岛，我们一家人在此地面积惊人的珊瑚礁区潜游后，我坐在航船的甲板上休憩。当船起锚远航时，我索性用18-55mm镜头的尼康D3100相机，拍下了这幅景象。 http://photography.nationalgeogr ... /coral-reef-roatan/

巴西湿地晚间的大食蚁兽 MAY 24, 2013 Giant Anteater, Brazil Photograph by Gerardo Ceballos, Your Shot I took this shot of a giant anteater in the Fazenda Barranco Alto, a 30,000-acre cattle ranch and wildlife preserve in the Pantanal of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul. I had been looking for animals all day long, driving and walking through grasslands and forest patches that surround the endless lakes dotting the landscape of this region. During the day I had seen other giant anteaters, a giant otter, white-lipped peccaries, and many other interesting mammals. As the sun was setting, I saw a dark shadow on the shore of one of the lakes. I took my camera and walked slowly toward that moving shadow. With great surprise I found out that it was a giant anteater. I took the photo with a flash against the fading daylight. It was a memorable moment that was caught in my photo.     这里是巴西·南马托格罗索州·潘塔纳尔湿地，我在湿地的中心区域Fazenda Barranco Alto拍到这只大食蚁兽。潘塔纳尔湿地是世界上最大的湿地，包括30,000英亩（约121平方千米）畜牧场和自然保...

【一位老师想说却不能说的真心话】 如果您希望对于我们国家的教育有所贡献，请把这篇文章分享出去吧！ ﹝ 16 年前﹞我听过有人在课堂上说「尊师重道」是狗屁。 ﹝ 16 年后﹞是我当上老师的第七年，这些年来，我的讲桌上总贴着一句格言：「师严而道尊」。 现在，上级长官常提醒我们：「教育是 ( 服务业 )...... 。我们要让孩子快乐，要让家长满意 ...... 」但是事实上，教育不是服务业，从来就不是。 教育不是「产业」，教育是一种【事业】。「事业」是花钱的单位，是国家基于不得已，必须设置的花钱单位；而「产业」是用来赚钱的。 教育，是要建立学生的优良人格，纠正学生的道德偏差。 简而言之，是「他没有的东西要他有，他有的东西要他没有」，这种事情大多不顺遂，怎么会有「满意」、「快乐」的价值观呢？ 当教育演变成「家长导向」，甚至于「学生导向」的时候，教育的尊严是不存在的；当教育的尊严不存在的时候，教育便是不存在的。 眼看私立幼儿园的老师，对学生扮小丑，对家长扮业务，我完全无法相信这有什么教育的机制存在。 完全不会写考卷的人也可以「考上」大学，而且多如繁星的学校还抢着招生，我完全无法理解这个国家的高等教育为什么要花这么多自欺欺人的钱。 【服务业】是要赚钱的；赚钱的手段，是要讨好顾客。 【教育】是花钱的；花了钱之后，来教育学生、教育家长、教育社会大众；把幼稚的小孩、不良的学生、败坏的社会风气，带领出一片光明。 打从教育思潮演变成「我们要让孩子快乐，要让家长满意，教育是﹝服务业﹞」之后，教育的成效一落千丈，再也一蹶不振。 以前的《教育》，是老师挑学生，家长配合老师。 现在的《叫欲》，是学生挑老师，老师配合家长。 结果呢？ 7 年级世代的被称为草莓族， 8 年级的希望根本看不到。 错别字一大堆的文案，充斥于生活中，不只摊贩错字连篇，连电视、电影、报纸、甚至政府宣传品，都一一沦陷了。 整个社会的知识水平和道德修养陷入了极大的困境，更具毁灭性的八年级炸弹、九年级炸弹还在后面等着。 大学联考总分 13 分的学生，他老妈对记者说，她才不会让小孩去念烂学校。 犯下多起奸杀分尸案的某狼落网，对记者露出冷血的笑，阿嬷还大剌剌的质问为什么要抓她的乖孙。 小孩不好不怪小孩，只怪别人。社会早已陷入一场「溺爱战争」，一切都是溺...

秘鲁山中偶遇骆驼队 MAY 23, 2013 Llamas, Peru Photograph by Antoine Bruneau, Your Shot After a couple of days trekking across the Peruvian Andes, our group had an unusual encounter at 4,600 meters, on top of the narrow, windy, and freezing Huacahuasi Pass. While we had not run into a single soul for days, we had to give way to a flock of llamas and their herder, basically coming out of nowhere: a real culture shock between us Occidental folks in search of adventure and the local Quechua mountain people going about their daily business.     经过在秘鲁安第斯山脉两天艰苦的跋涉后，我们在海拔4600米的 Huacahuasi小道上与一支骆驼队狭路相逢，彼时风力强劲冰寒交加。我们就充分发扬了这些天来的团队合作精神，先让骆驼们和它们的牧人先行通过。而无处不在的是，我们这群西方探险者们与当地这些从事着日常生活的克地亚人，确实同样有着文化冲击。 http://photography.nationalgeogr ... mas-mountains-peru/

瑞典，雾虹中的溜冰者 MAY 22, 2013 Ice-Skater, Sweden Photograph by Patrik Stark, Your Shot We had been skating around in the thick fog in the Stockholm archipelago for a couple of hours one morning in April. It was totally windless and the only sounds were those of our skates and some birds in the open water near us. Tour skating on natural ice on the first of April is considered late in the season, so this was our last trip. Suddenly we saw it, the fogbow, and tried to catch it.     四月清晨，雾气朦胧，我们在斯德哥尔摩群岛的冰面上一直溜行了2个小时。四周空旷无风，只有我们的溜冰声与在附近未封上的水面饮水的鸟鸣。四月一号这一天的旅游滑冰，在这个季节看来有些晚了，因此这是我们最后一站。突然我们看到了雾虹，惊艳得试图想追上它。 http://photography.nationalgeogr ... /skater-fog-sweden/

巴库冬日的苹果 MAY 21, 2013 Apples, Baku Photograph by Erik Andre Juriks, Your Shot The snow made me treat myself to some side streets while looking for photo opportunities on my way to work, this bitterly cold morning in Baku. The rapidly changing capital of Azerbaijan always has something in store. Just outside the centuries-old Taza Bazaar, I came across the unlikely sight of an old Soviet-era Volga brimming with golden winter apples. The strange beauty of the scene brought back childhood memories of apples carefully picked and stored in the basement of our home in Norway, and the apples turning sweeter as the months of winter went by.      巴库冬日的早晨寒冷透骨，我在去工作的路上随手街拍。这是阿塞拜疆的首都，正快速改变着，但人们仍会储存些食物。我刚好站在Taza Bazaar大市场外，就看到苏联时代的伏尔加汽车上装满了青黄色的苹果，在这个季节有点不可能。但这副陌生的情景，让我回想起：在家乡挪威，儿时的我小心翼翼地采摘苹果，再放入地窖里；等到冬季过后，地窖里的苹果会变得更甜。 http://photography.nationalgeogr ... /apples-volga-baku/
