Monastery Window, Greece
Photograph by Travis Dove
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
A trinity of sun, sky, and sea paints an inspiring backdrop for the Xenofontos monastery on Mount Athos. According to Orthodox tradition, Noah summoned the animals to the ark by rapping a wooden mallet on a plank. In similar fashion, mallets (in foreground) are used today to call monks to prayer.

Photograph by Jim Richardson

Homemade Swing, Nevada
Photograph by Stephanie Sinclair
This Month in Photo of the Day: National Geographic Magazine Features
After helping bring in the hay harvest, Amber Barlow, 16, soars on a homemade swing with friends. Their 4,000-acre ranch in Pony Springs, Nevada, belongs to the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS), a polygamous offshoot of the Mormon Church, or LDS. FLDS members, even young children, are expected to help with chores—sowing, picking, canning—throughout the year.
