Sometimes Mother Nature is at its best from a distance.

有时候，大自然的最好状态是在一定距离之外。

The serene yet engaging photo above shows a massive herd of elk running across the Colorado foothills about 20 miles northwest of Denver.

上面这张宁静而迷人的照片显示，在丹佛西北约20英里处，一大群麋鹿正在穿越科罗拉多山麓。

There are easily more than 150 elk moving together in the foggy weather.

在多雾的天气里，有150多只麋鹿在一起活动。

"Colorado is home to some 287,000 elk — the largest elk population in the world. It is quite the sight to see a large elk herd move across the landscape," Colorado Parks & Wildlife wrote.

科罗拉多州是约287000头麋鹿的家园，是世界上麋鹿数量最多的地方。看到一大群麋鹿在这片土地上迁徙真是太壮观了。”

Once dwindling in numbers, the elk population has had a resurgence over the past couple of decades, thanks to conservation efforts that have also helped other animal populations across the state.

麋鹿的数量一度减少，但在过去的几十年里，由于保护工作的努力，麋鹿的数量又有了回升，这也帮助了该州其他动物的数量。
