Gray Langur at Rest

Photograph by Hemin Patel, National Geographic Your Shot

I was in my college parking lot, and this monkey appeared on this tree in front of me, writes Hemin Patel, a member of our Your Shot community who captured this photo in Anand, Gujarat, India. The sunlight was coming through when I saw it. It was wonderful.

Patels picture recently appeared in Your Shot's Daily Dozen.

The City of Hoboken and Township of Weehawken are partnering to launch a next-generation bike share program using smart-bike technology manufactured by Nextbike. The German-based company currently has systems with over 20,000 bikes in 70 cities across 14 countries. The Hoboken/Weehawken system would be their first in the United States. Because the technology is new to the country, the electronic components manufactured by Nextbike are still awaiting approval by the FCC, which is expected by late December. As a result, the launch of the program has been rescheduled for March, 2015.

“We are looking forward to launching one of the first next-generation bike share systems in the country,” said Mayor Dawn Zimmer. “This high-tech but considerably lower cost approach is more scalable and flexible than traditional systems and could open the door for an expansion of bike sharing into neighborhoods and communities across the region and country – not just our largest cities.”

“Weehawken is proud to be a part of this innovative program that will provide a healthy and green transportation option for our residents,” said Weehawken Mayor Richard F. Turner.

Financing for the system is being provided by Nextbike, and revenue will be generated through sponsorships, advertising, and membership fees at no cost to taxpayers. The program will be operated by Bike and Roll, the largest bike tour and rental company in the United States.

“Bike and Roll is very excited to be working with Hoboken and Weehawken and to be a part of bringing next-generation bike share to the tri-state area,” said Chris Wogas, President of Bike and Roll. “I applaud the efforts of both Hoboken and Weehawken as they ensure that their residents receive the most flexible, technologically-advanced and customer-centric bike share platform available today.”

The first phase of the system will have a total of 300 “smart bikes” — 230 bikes in Hoboken and 70 bikes in Weehawken. Smart bikes are the next generation of bike share technology. Traditional bike sharing systems rely on a “smart dock” approach for storing bicycles, which requires expensive infrastructure for docking stations. The “smart lock” approach relies on bicycles with built-in locks and communications equipment, providing increased flexibility at a fraction of the cost of traditional systems. This system will feature several “smart dock” stations along with a majority of “virtual dock” stations using traditional bicycle racks.

Night Falls

Photograph by Phil Hawkins, National Geographic Your Shot

Though most photographers leave Yosemite National Parks Tunnel View overlook when the direct light of sunset has disappeared, Your Shot member Phil Hawkins usually stays for another hour to see how the light evolves. On this occasion I happened to notice a slight glow in the mist hugging the valley floor and wondered how this would look in a timed exposure, he writes. So I drilled in on an area of activity and simply left the shutter open for about ten minutes, and this image is the result.

Dearly Beloved

Photograph by Bartek Olszewski, National Geographic Your Shot

I was so lucky, says Your Shot member Bartek Olszewski, who found this scene on entering Londons Richmond Park on a July day. He began taking as many pictures as he could of the rutting stags. It only lasted a few seconds, he says. I love to watch and track red deer, finding them and enjoying their natural behavior. I have my camera in my hands at all times when Im going out to take pictures. Always be readywildlife is unpredictable, so it can surprise you at any time.

The Childrens Place

Looking like playfully scattered confetti, children sled a snowy hill in Shizukuishi, Japan. Your Shot member Masami Murooka calls it an extraordinary playground, which emerged at the side of a large festivals parking lot. Anyone trying to photograph only the festival would never notice this place, Murooka writes.

From a northern promontory on the Faroe island of Kalsoy, the Kallur lighthouse boasts a panoramic view of the sea and neighboring islands. About a hundred people inhabit four villages on remote Kalsoy, one of 18 islands making up the North Atlantic archipelago.

Sky Light

Viewed from a remote ecolodge, the aurora borealis unfurls over a snowy plain in Canadas Northwest Territories. Having always had a love of the stars, I moved to the lodge to see the aurora and to learn to live off the land, writes Your Shot member Emma Blythman. Each night, after learning how to hunt and collecting wood, I would camp out by candlelight at the igloo, set up my camera, and watch the aurora dance above my head for hours. Magical.

Monkeying Around

In Moroccos Middle Atlas mountains, a Barbary macaque pauses for a snack after a bout of playing with other young members of the troop. Macaques eat anything: seeds, grass, young leaves, berries, even mealworms and reptiles.

Responding to today’s obsession with all things vintage, IKEA decided to relaunch some of its archival designs from the 1950s and ’60s. The 20+ piece collection entitled “ÅRGÅNG,” which means “year” in Swedish, includes everything from sofas, chairs, tables, lighting and carpets to even porcelain houseware. IKEA maintains that all designs have been kept to their original forms but with “major improvements in material” — We see IKEA’s Lovet Table (1954), Esberg Couch (1957), SILA lamp (1959) and Butterfly Chair (1959) to name a few. The ÅRGÅNG collection is limited-edition, available in the stores listed here as well as online.

Thanksgiving is less than a week away. For some of us, that might mean planning a big family/friends feast. For most of us, that probably means traveling interstate to a dreaded relative’s house or worse yet, the parents’. We’re only joking; Thanksgiving is a wonderful time, and, to really give some thanks, we decided to go out and search for some of America’s best small food item makers, from those of truffle-infused condiments and cider donut mixes to turkey stuffing seasoning. Whether you’re the host or the guest, get one (or all) of these items and you’ll surely be the popular one.
