加拿大式的小憩和放松 A little Canadian rest and relaxation

路易斯湖，班夫国家公园，阿尔伯塔省

闪烁着海蓝色光芒的路易斯湖坐落在阿尔伯塔省班夫国家公园的加拿大落基山脉中，原住民纳科达人将该湖称为“Ho-run-num-nay”，意为“小鱼之湖”。后来，移民们以英国王室的路易斯公主的名字为这个冰川湖以及一座毗邻的小镇命名。那座小镇的海拔高达5200英尺，是加拿大海拔最高的小镇。游客们一年四季都可以通过加拿大高速公路到达路易斯湖，参加这里的夏季徒步旅行和冬季滑雪等活动。

Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta

Glimmering in aquamarine tones, Lake Louise rests amid the Canadian Rockies in Alberta's Banff National Park. The Indigenous Nakoda people refer to the lake as Ho-run-num-nay, meaning 'lake of the little fishes.' It was later renamed by settlers, inspired by Britain's Princess Louise, whose husband was governor general of Canada between 1878 and 1883. The adjoining hamlet is also called Lake Louise and, at an elevation of almost 5,200 feet, is Canada's highest community.

This glacial lake is accessible throughout the year via the Trans-Canada Highway, and visitors enjoy hiking in the summer, skiing in the winter, and incredible mountain views at any time of the year.

在地球上还是在外星？ On earth or extraterrestrial?

巴伐利亚瓦茨曼山脚下的冰教堂

瓦茨曼冰教堂位于巴伐利亚贝希特斯加登国家公园内，因洞内的冰层而得名。这个迷人的冰洞是由瓦茨曼山周围的冰川融化而成，以冰柱和冰雕而闻名。它毗邻风景如画的国王湖，雄伟壮丽的阿尔卑斯山环绕四周，给每位游客都留下了深刻的印象。该地奇诡的地质形态也吸引着大批游客及研究人员。

说回冰教堂。几个世纪以来，温度波动和环境变化改变了冰教堂，但其独特性依然留了下来。尽管全球变暖，大多数科学家仍然认为冰教堂将继续存在。因为每年冬天，阿尔卑斯山的雪崩会形成了“天然冰窖”，所以即便温度上升，冰教堂也不会消融。希望这座冰教堂能“活”到遥远的未来！

放慢脚步，享受旅途！ Slow down, enjoy the journey!

哈纳之路，毛伊岛，夏威夷

游客们经常把夏威夷和放松画上等号，但作为该地最著名的景点之一的哈纳之路，可能会让你紧紧抓住方向盘。这条公路沿着毛伊岛的北部海岸，从卡胡卢伊延伸到宁静的哈纳镇，全长64英里，有600多个弯道和许多单行道桥梁。行车途中需要集中注意力，所以不要忘记在郁郁葱葱的雨林和层层叠叠的瀑布前停下来放松一下。哈纳之路沿途的亮点包括天然小径、双子瀑布和怀阿纳帕纳帕州立公园的黑沙滩。

Road to Hana, Maui, Hawaii

With more than 600 curves and numerous one-lane bridges, it's best not to relax too much while navigating Hawaii's famous Road to Hana. It's hard to stay focused though, as the road winds its way through lush surroundings over 64 miles along the northern coast of Maui, from Kahului to Hana. Make a few stops along the way to get the best views of the rainforests and waterfalls that line the route. Popular attractions include the Waikamoi Ridge Trail, the easily accessible Twin Falls, and the black sands of Wai'ānapanapa State Park.

北汉山的花岗岩山峰 Take this peak for granite

北汉山国立公园，韩国

北汉山国家公园位于繁华的韩国首都首尔以北几英里处，是市民和国际游客的度假胜地。该公园建于1983年，拥有茂密的森林、古老的寺庙和北汉山的三座花岗岩山峰。水鹿、野猪、花栗鼠和松鼠自由自在地在公园的山脊和山谷中游荡。细心的人还能听到啄木鸟的哒哒声或栖息在树上的各种鸣禽的鸣叫声。该公园还是北汉山城的所在地，其现有建筑可追溯到1711年。当时修建这座城池的目的是为了保护首尔免受外部威胁。

Bukhansan National Park, South Korea

Just a few miles north of South Korea's capital city of Seoul, Bukhansan National Park is a retreat for city dwellers and international visitors. Forests and ancient temples sit side-by-side in the park, beneath the three granite peaks of Bukhan Mountain, or Bukhansan. Among the park's ridges and valleys, water deer, wild boar, chipmunks, and squirrels roam freely. A careful ear might pick out the rat-a-tat of woodpeckers or the chirpy melody of songbirds perched in the trees. The park also boasts Bukhansanseong Fortress, whose current structure was completed in 1711.

迎接挑战！ Step up to the challenge!

走楼梯日

是时候加强锻炼了！随着久坐不动的生活方式越来越普遍，保持健康已成为人们关注的焦点。“走楼梯日”的出现是为了提醒人们：一个小小的、有意识的选择也可以对我们的整体健康产生大大的影响。这是由美国肺脏协会发起的一项倡议，旨在倡导人们通过有意识的运动来促进肺部健康。

为了庆祝这一天，我们参观了希腊色萨利地区米罗伯塔莫斯海岸线上的蛇形楼梯。米罗伯塔莫斯坐落在希腊中部多山的皮利翁半岛东海岸，这里有独特的郁郁葱葱的风景和幽静的海滩。松树荫下的小路蜿蜒曲折，通向海滩，走够了怎么办呢？别担心，沿途还有海滩酒吧。

Take the Stairs Day

It's time to step up! Today is Take the Stairs Day, an initiative by the American Lung Association aimed at encouraging us to make small changes that can have a big impact on our well-being.

To mark the day, we're admiring the snake-like steps to Mylopotamos Beach on the mountainous Pelion peninsula, in northern Greece. The sinuous path to this secluded beach winds beneath the cool shade of pine trees. Enough steps for today? Don't worry, there's a beach bar along the way.

热气球升空日

今天是热气球升空日，一个致力于纪念布兰沙尔的成就的日子。布兰沙尔是一位法国的气球驾驶员及发明家，早在1793年，他就完成了美国历史上第一次载人气球航行，从费城飞往新泽西州的德特福德。自2011年起，每年的这一天人们都会热烈庆祝，以致敬这一空中壮举。在今天的图片中，太阳落在格兰德河的上空，照亮了新墨西哥州阿尔伯克基上空的彩色热气球。每年的10月初，人们从世界各地赶来齐聚一堂，参加为期9天的阿尔伯克基国际热气球节，这是世界上最盛大的热气球节，在这里，人们可以欣赏到经验丰富的热气球驾驶员熟练地操作他们的热气球。

Balloon Ascension Day

Up, up, and away! Today is Balloon Ascension Day, celebrating the anniversary of the first manned balloon flight in North America. French aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard's flight took him from Philadelphia to Deptford, New Jersey, back in 1793. Interest in ballooning took off from there and today, hot air balloon festivals take place across the country, including Albuquerque, where today's sunrise image was taken. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people attend the nine-day Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta—the largest hot air balloon festival in the world—to see skilled pilots expertly maneuver their baskets through balloon-filled skies.

贝尔尼纳山口，格劳宾登州，瑞士

你被眼前这片白茫茫的大地震撼到了吗？这正是游客们在瑞士格劳宾登州阿尔卑斯山目睹贝尔尼纳山口时的感受。它的海拔高达7638英尺，吸引着来自世界各地的冬季运动爱好者。这个山口现在可能是滑雪场的大本营，但在中世纪它是一条重要的贸易路线。有趣的是，与滑雪有关的考古证据最早可追溯至公元前6000年左右的俄罗斯。每年的11月到次年3月是贝尔尼纳山口雪况最好的时候，喜欢滑雪的朋友们可别错过哦！

Bernina Pass, Graubünden, Switzerland

This awesome white winter expanse is found in the Alps of eastern Switzerland. The famous Bernina Pass stands tall at an elevation of 7,638 feet and attracts winter sports enthusiasts from all over the world. Fun fact: Evidence of the oldest wooden skis, dating back to around 6000 BCE, was found in Russia. Boasting excellent snow conditions from November to March, the Bernina Pass is a must-visit spot on every skier's bucket list.

大自然的平衡术 Nature's balancing act

古老 岩石日

这些可不是普通的石头！魔鬼大理石是已知最古老的宗教场所之一，对澳大利亚土著居民来说，它是一个古老的圣地，具有重要的价值。如今，澳大利亚北领地的魔鬼大理石保护区--又称卡鲁卡鲁，保存着这些巨大的圆形巨石。这些岩石由花岗岩构成，其奇特的形状是数百万年风化和侵蚀的结果。今天恰好是“古老岩石日”，是欣赏这一地质奇观最好的日子。你知道地球上最古老的岩石在哪吗？阿波罗14号任务期间从月球上带回的月球样本14321，被称为“大伯莎”，经测定约有44.6亿年的历史，只比地球本身年轻一点点。科学家们认为，一颗古老的小行星撞击地球，将大块的陆地碎片抛向太空和月球表面，然后在数百万年后被我们带了回来。无论你是地质学迷，还是自然爱好者，拥抱你周围的矿物质，继续前进吧！

Old Rock Day

These aren't your ordinary rocks! One of the oldest-known religious locations, the Devils Marbles Conservation Reserve is a sacred site to Aboriginal Australians. The site, also called Karlu Karlu, in Australia’s Northern Territory, is home to a collection of giant, gravity-defying boulders. These rocks are composed of granite, and their peculiar shape is the result of millions of years of weathering and erosion.

And what better occasion than Old Rock Day, to appreciate such geological wonders? Did you know that the Earth's oldest rock is truly out of this world? Lunar sample 14321, or 'Big Bertha,' is approximately 4.46 billion years old—just a smidge younger than the Earth itself—and was recovered from the moon during the Apollo 14 mission. Scientists believe that the rock was a meteorite from Earth that hit the moon, only to be brought back home, millions of years later. Whether you're a geology nerd or just a nature lover, today's the day to rock on!

是现实还是童话？

山脉和小溪，阿尔卑斯 山，德国

冬日的晴空笼罩着阿尔卑斯山白雪皑皑的山景，雄伟的山峰倒映在冰湖光滑的镜面上。四周白雪覆盖的树木见证了这一刻的宁静与祥和，只有脚踏积雪发出轻柔的嘎吱声可以偶尔打破这种宁静。阳光洒向湖光山色，令人心旷神怡。

你也想徒步穿越这个神奇的地方吗？或者你已经收拾好滑雪板，准备去阿尔卑斯山了？在这宁静的风景中，人们可以感受到即将到来的假期的魔力，就好像大自然本身也在为庆祝活动做准备。

雾锁金门 On cloud forty-nine

金门大桥，旧金山，加利福尼亚

金门大桥是人类建筑的奇迹，它像哨兵一样矗立在旧金山湾区的入口处。金门大桥被金门海峡水域上方的浓雾所笼罩，桥塔高达746英尺，塔身上有着充满艺术气息的装饰元素。这座大桥是工程师约瑟夫·施特劳斯、建筑师艾尔文·莫罗和其他许多人为连接旧金山和马林县而共同协作的结果。金门大桥被漆成国际橘，而大桥名字中的“金”则指的是桥下那片反射阳光的金门海峡水域。这座桥于1937年向公众开放，但要建成这座大桥并不容易，尤其是在大萧条时期。不过因为它的建设雇用了数千人，间接促进了当地的就业和技术发展，所以付出还是得到了回报。光影变幻，时代变迁，金门大桥不仅成为了人类创新的证明，更是集功能性与美学于一体的永恒杰作。

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco, California

An iconic feat of engineering, the Golden Gate Bridge stands like a sentinel at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. Pictured here blanketed by fog above the waters of the Golden Gate Strait, its towers, adorned with Art Deco elements, reach a height of 746 feet. The bridge opened in 1937, thanks to the efforts of engineer Joseph Strauss, architect Irving Morrow, and others who wanted to connect San Francisco to Marin County. It wasn't an easy vision to accomplish during the Great Depression, but the investment paid off as its construction created thousands of jobs and boosted growth. It was Morrow who picked the striking color, International Orange, an unusual choice at the time when many bridges were gray or black. He felt it would contrast well with the surrounding hills, sky, ocean, and fog. The Golden Gate Bridge, a testament to human innovation, is a timeless masterpiece blending functionality with beauty.
