彩虹的尽头 Where the rainbow ends
圣帕特里克节
准备好迎接三叶苜蓿、游行和所有绿色的东西吧,因为今天是圣帕特里克节。这个节日起源于1000多年前的爱尔兰,但如今该节日已渐渐成为许多国家共同的节日。圣帕特里克节,也被称为“绿帽子节”,是为了纪念爱尔兰守护神圣帕特里克。
今天这张照片拍摄于科佩海岸地质公园,这是联合国教科文组织评选出的世界地质公园之一,位于爱尔兰东南海岸。该地区拥有众多文化和历史遗迹,包括铁器时代的堡垒、刻有文字的石头以及中世纪的教堂废墟。19世纪,这里曾开采过铜矿(copper),科佩(copper)海岸也因此得名。
St. Patrick's Day
Get ready for shamrocks, parades, and all things green, because today is St. Patrick's Day. Many countries around the world recognize the holiday, but the first celebration was in Ireland more than 1,000 years ago. St. Patrick's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint Patrick, is both a cultural and religious celebration recognizing Saint Patrick himself, an Irish, 5th century Christian missionary and bishop.
This view is of Copper Coast Geopark, a UNESCO Global Geopark on the southeast coast of Ireland. The area also boasts a rich cultural heritage, and is dotted with numerous historical sites, including Iron Age forts, inscribed stones, and ruins of medieval churches. This magnificent stretch of undulating cliffs and sandy coves is named after the 19th century copper mines that once operated there.

如此美景在何处? Where is this scenic view?
阿圭罗村庄,韦斯卡省,西班牙
美丽的阿圭罗村庄位于西班牙韦斯卡省,它坐落在独特的粉灰色群山之中。村庄背后是被称为里格洛斯岩的悬崖,非常适合拍照。这个拥有130位居民的小村庄还有一座建于12世纪的教堂。如果你是历史爱好者、攀岩爱好者,或二者兼修,那就请把阿圭罗列入旅行目的地清单吧。
Agüero, Huesca province, Spain
Residing in the lap of the distinctive pink-grey mountains is the pretty village of Agüero in the Huesca province of Spain. The textured cliffs known as Los Mallos act as a backdrop to the village, making it incredibly photogenic. The miniature village with its 130 inhabitants is a tourist attraction due to the 12th-century Romanesque Church of Santiago. This national monument is also a sight to behold with its intricate carvings of remarkable beasts and religious scenes created by the artist known only as the Master of San Juan de la Pena. If you consider yourself a history buff, a rock climber, or both, put Agüero on your travel list.

美丽的曲径迷宫 A beautiful labyrinth
圆周率日
今天,我们用这张绝美无比的灌木丛迷宫鸟瞰图来庆祝圆周率日,该迷宫位于塞浦路斯的阿伊纳帕植物园。圆周率日的意义在于纪念数学常数π。如果用计算器求圆周率的值,它可能会被截止到小数点后15位或更少,但在数学中π被认为是一个无限的比值。阿伊纳帕植物园灌木丛迷宫的圆形图案把圆周率公式带入了现实,这里也是长途步行爱好者的必游之地。如果你准备好迎接挑战,那就来这个巨型迷宫试试吧。
Pi Day
Today we're celebrating Pi Day with this magnificent bird's-eye image of the maze of bushes at Cyherbia Botanical Park in Ayia Napa, Cyprus. The significance of this day is to remember the mathematical constant Pi. If you use a calculator to find the value of Pi, it may truncate at 15 decimal digits or less, but in mathematics it is considered a never-ending ratio. The circular pattern of the labyrinth at the Cyherbia Botanical Park brings this equation to life and is a must-visit for people who love long walks. If you're ready for a challenge, give this large hedge maze a go.

欣赏建筑奇迹 Behold the architectural marvel
罗马尼亚克卢日-纳波卡国家剧院
卢西安·布拉加国家剧院位于罗马尼亚城市克卢日-纳波卡,是该地区的文化标志。那里的表演展示了基于进步和国际趋势的古典和当代匈牙利戏剧。这座富丽堂皇的剧院是以19世纪晚期流行的新巴洛克风格建造的,它唤起了巴洛克运动的宏伟、色彩和细节,旨在让任何进入空间的人眼花缭乱。它是罗马尼亚的三个国家剧院之一,与布加勒斯特国家剧院和Iași国家剧院并列。
National Theater, Cluj-Napoca, Romania
The Lucian Blaga National Theater, located in the Romanian city of Cluj-Napoca, is a cultural icon of the area. Performances there showcase classical and contemporary Hungarian dramas based on progressive and international trends. The opulent theater was built in the Neo-Baroque style, popular in the late 19th century, which calls back to the grandiosity, color, and detail of the Baroque movement that aims to dazzle anyone who enters the space. It is one of three national theaters in Romania, alongside National Theater Bucharest and Iași National Theater.

波浪板起伏的绿丘
南唐斯国家公园,英国
这些标志性的、连绵起伏的绿色山丘是南唐斯国家公园的美景之一,它们横跨英国东南部的沿海郡。几个世纪以来,放牧的绵羊保持了这里低矮的草皮,也让这里成为了欧洲最繁荣的野生动物栖息地之一,野花和不同种类的蝴蝶在南唐斯的草原上繁衍生息。但如今,这种罕见的生态栖息地只覆盖了唐斯面积的约4%,原因是二战期间这里大部分土地都被用做了种植粮食。2010年,南唐斯国家公园成立,原因之一也是为了保护和重建唐斯的生态栖息地。
南唐斯国家公园覆盖范围极广,从罕见的低地荒原、古老的树木林地、白垩溪流,到被强风侵袭的悬崖峭壁,地貌景观丰富多样。这里不仅是珍稀动植物的家园,人类也在此生活了数千年,铁器时代的堡垒遗迹、新石器时代的燧石矿井和古代遗址便是证据。现在,它仍是英国人口最为稠密的国家公园,有11.7万人在公园内生活和工作,还有200万人居住在距离公园三英里以内的地区。

像一张油画 Like paint on a canvas
沼泽地,格洛斯特,美国马萨诸塞州
在新英格兰灿烂阳光的照耀下,这片盐沼地里的耐盐植物和海水形成了色彩鲜明的对比。盐沼是水生食物链中重要的一环,同时也是孕育野生动植物的温床。
这片沼泽位于美国最古老的海港——马萨诸塞州的格洛斯特。这个宁静的夏季度假胜地很受欢迎,游客们可以在这里享受新鲜捕获的美味海鲜、迷人的海滩、沼泽、划船、参观博物馆。尽管格洛斯特有种让人昏昏欲睡的小镇气息,但它距离繁华的波士顿只有45分钟车程。
Marshland, Gloucester, MA
Lit by bright New England sunshine, this salt marsh shows a strong contrast of color between the sea water and the salt-tolerant grass that grows there. Salt marshes serve as a major contributor to the aquatic food web and a nursery for wildlife, both terrestrial and aquatic.
These marshes are located in Gloucester, Massachusetts, America's oldest seaport. Tourists frequenting this tranquil summer vacation spot enjoy freshly caught delicious seafood, stunning beaches, marshes, museums, and boating. Though Gloucester may have a sleepy, small-town feel, it's only 45 minutes away from the bustling state capital city of Boston. Oh, and it's pronounced 'glosster' unless you're from Massachusetts—then it's 'glosstah.'

埃代尔,英国峰区
埃代尔安静而隐蔽,正是步行者的天堂。这个风景如画的小村庄坐落在英国峰区国家公园,四周被群山环绕。埃代尔(Edale)这个名称的拼写方式最早的记录出现于1732年,此前,它在不同时期被拼写为“Aidele”“Eydale”“Eydal”和“Edall”。埃代尔是奔宁之路的起点,这条国家步道一直延伸到苏格兰。英格兰和威尔士的17条国家步道上都点缀着带有橡子形状标记的路标。如果你在该地区闲逛时看到了这种标记,请沿着这条路继续走,你肯定能收获一段风景优美的旅程。
Edale Valley, Peak District, England
A quiet and secluded village, Edale is a walker's paradise. This picturesque hamlet, located in England's Peak District National Park, is surrounded by hills on all sides. The current spelling of the village was recorded in 1732; before this it was spelled Aidele, Eydale, Eydal, and Edall in different periods. It is the starting point of Pennine Way, a tough National Trail that reaches all the way to Scotland. Acorn-shaped markers dot the 17 National Trails in England and Wales—so if you find yourself wandering the area and see one of these signs, follow the path and you're sure to go on a scenic journey.

雨后见彩虹 A rainbow that's worth the rainfall
威美亚峡谷上空的彩虹,夏威夷
威美亚峡谷被誉为“太平洋大峡谷”,是风景如画的怀波奥瀑布所在地。瀑布和峡谷河流的源头来自地球上降雨量最多的地方之一怀厄莱阿莱峰。大约400万年前,考艾岛火山坍塌了一部分,形成了一个洼地,随着威美亚河流的不断侵蚀,洼地逐渐变成了如今的威美亚峡谷。考艾岛地形多变,风景各不相同,如果你想探寻考艾岛的多样性,可以离开海滩,沿着蜿蜒的550高速公路进入山区,在到达怀波奥瀑布观景台之前,你会在沿途收获海岸和峡谷的壮丽景色。
Waimea Canyon and Waipo'o Falls, Kauai, Hawaii
Waimea Canyon, sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is home to the picturesque Waipo'o Falls. The water that flows through the falls and canyon descends from Mount Wai'ale'ale, one of the rainiest places on Earth. Around 4 million years ago, a portion of the volcanic Kaua'i collapsed, creating a depression that the Waimea River has further eroded into today's canyon. If you want to see the true variety of Kauai, leave the beach behind and take winding State Route 550 into the mountains. Along the way you will see stunning views of the shore and the canyon before arriving at the lookout for Waipo'o Falls.

庆祝女性 Celebrating women
国际妇女节
今天是国际妇女节,这一天庆祝全世界的妇女,并采取行动创造一个多样化、包容和公平的世界。这一天起源于1910年德国活动家克拉拉·泽特金(Clara Zetkin)在一次会议上提出组织国际日的想法,并于次年开始。历史充满了妇女的重大成就和贡献。玛丽·居里获得了诺贝尔物理学和化学奖。Ada Lovelace于1836年编写了世界上第一个计算机程序。1964年,帕特西·明克是第一位当选美国国会议员的有色人种女性。姐姐Rosetta Tharpe影响了一代人,并帮助创建了摇滚乐流派。今天,我们与所有过去和现在的妇女一起庆祝她们的成就。今天你能做些什么来帮助创造一个性别平等的世界?
International Women's Day
Today is International Women's Day, a day to celebrate women all over the globe and to take action to create a world that's diverse, inclusive, and equitable. The day originated when German activist Clara Zetkin pitched the idea of organizing an international day at a conference in 1910 and it was observed starting the following year. History brims over with the significant accomplishments and contributions of women. Marie Curie won Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry. Ada Lovelace wrote the world's first computer program in 1836. In 1964, Patsy Mink was the first woman of color elected to US Congress. Sister Rosetta Tharpe influenced a generation and helped create the genre of rock and roll. Today we celebrate their achievements along with those of all women, past and present. What can you do today to help create a world with gender parity?
