超凡脱俗的风景

罗马,意大利

今天的照片是从圣天使堡(又称哈德良陵墓)拍下的罗马美景。圣天使堡是由罗马帝国皇帝哈德良所修建,用作自己和后代的陵墓。除他之外,还有许多皇帝被葬在这里,公元217年的卡拉卡拉是最后一位。

中世纪到19世纪,这座建筑被改造成了保卫罗马的堡垒,梵蒂冈也因此没有落入西哥特人和汪达尔人手中。1365年左右,圣天使堡成为了教会的财产。而在意大利统一后,这座建筑最终成为了博物馆,教会也就随之失去了它的所有权。

即使在今天,这座雄伟的建筑仍然吸引着数百万来自世界各地的游客,一直是罗马游客最多的博物馆之一。

赞美热带 Celebrating the tropics

国际热带日

巴尼亚群位于印度洋海域,每年吸引数百万游客。巴尼亚群岛由99个小岛组成,这些小岛大部分都无人居住,甚至还没有名字,岛上目之所及都是纯净的沙滩、茂盛的木和透彻的海水。这个纯净的热带天堂还非常适宜冲浪,这因此成为了完美的度假目的地,适合任何想要在平静和放松之余来一点冒险的人们。

International Day of the Tropics

On the International Day of the Tropics, we are in the Banyak Islands of Indonesia, a group of more than 70 islands, most of which are uninhabited and unnamed. The Banyak Islands offer miles of pristine sandy beaches, lush green trees, and clear waters as far as the eyes can see. This tropical paradise also boasts some great surfing and snorkeling spots and draws millions of visitors a year.

But the tropics, roughly defined as the area above and below the equator between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, face various challenges including climate change, urbanization, and high levels of poverty. They also make up approximately one-third of the Earth’s landmass and are home to about 40% of the world’s population. On June 29, International Day of the Tropics celebrates the uniqueness and biodiversity of the tropics, while highlighting their challenges and progress made to address them.

塞多纳,亚利桑那州,美国

从你踏入塞多纳的那一刻起,你将会震撼于其绝妙的景色和从沙漠中突兀而出的红色砂石悬崖。冒险爱好者热爱这里的美景和宁静。塞多纳还遍地是美洲原住民的历史。尽管由于缺少文字记述,我们对于这个地区最早的定居者知之甚少,他们被称为“祖先普韦布洛人”。普遍认为他们在1400年前在此定居。大部分有关这些古代先民的信息来自于考古遗迹和文物,包括大规模的普韦布洛人定居点遗址

Sedona, Arizona

Stunning sandstone cliffs rise from the desert floor amid spectacular scenery here in Sedona, Arizona, also known as Red Rock Country. Adventure enthusiasts come to enjoy the beautiful trails that dot the region, which is also steeped in Native American history. The earliest settlers are believed to have been the Ancestral Puebloans, who inhabited the area around 1,400 years ago. Without any written history, most of the information about these ancient people comes from the archaeological ruins that remain, including cliff dwellings built under overhangs in the area's red sandstone rocks. Other Native American groups came to the area such as the Hakataya, the Hohokam, the Sinagua, and the modern-day tribes that live in Arizona today, the Tonto Apache and the Yavapai.

奢华的迷宫 A labyrinth of luxury

维朗德里城堡,法国

法国的维朗德里城堡以其精美绝伦的园出名。它的花园也被认为是一个文艺复兴时期园林设计的典范。花园被细分成了不同的区域,有着几何纹路、生机盎然的花床、静谧的水景和精心修建的篱。每个区域都有其主题,有的有装饰性,有的有实用性,缤纷的色彩和纹路相交织,美不胜收。城堡的花园体现了建筑设计和自然的和谐关系,其美景和艺术创造力使游客为之着迷。

Château de Villandry, France

The Château de Villandry in France is renowned for its exquisite gardens that are considered a masterpiece of Renaissance horticulture. The gardens, which are divided into sections, feature geometric patterns, vibrant flowerbeds, serene water elements, and meticulously trimmed hedges. Each section has its own theme, ranging from ornamental to practical, and is bursting with a stunning blend of colors and textures. The château's gardens showcase the harmonious relationship between architecture and nature. Stunning gardens have surrounded the château since it was built in 1532, but their appearance changed drastically over the centuries. After Joachim Carvallo acquired the estate, he spent 10 years from 1918 reinventing and restoring the Renaissance formal gardens. Other elements have been added in the decades since and the gardens continue to captivate visitors to this day.

一座宝库 A temple to treasure

佩特拉,约旦

卡兹尼神殿是约旦佩特拉的一座神殿,在阿拉伯语中意为

"宝库"。多年以来,佩特拉一直不为世界所知,只有住在周边沙漠里的贝都因人才知晓它的存在。大约2000年前,佩特拉的原住民纳巴泰人用砂岩修建了这座神殿,并给其建造了一个具有蓄水池、水道和其他设施的供水系统,令人啧啧称奇。卡兹尼神殿是纳巴泰建筑的缩影,高141英尺,还有一个令人着迷的美丽门,高耸的柱子上刻有狮身人面兽一类的神话生物。据说纳巴泰国王阿雷塔斯四世长眠于此。

Al-Khazneh in Petra, Jordan

Welcome to the ancient temple of Al-Khazneh in the desert city of Petra, Jordan. Carved out of a single sandstone rock about 2,000 years ago by the Nabataean people, it is believed to have been a mausoleum for King Aretas IV. Standing 141 feet tall, its massive doorway is framed with towering columns and intricate carvings. It is the most recognizable structure of this 'rose city' of temples and tombs carved from pink sandstone.

The Nabataeans, the original inhabitants of Petra, were skilled architects who built an impressive network of cisterns and water channels here. Once a thriving center, Petra is thought to have been largely abandoned around the 8th century and was 'lost' to the Western world until the 19th century. Only the Bedouin people, who lived in the surrounding desert, knew of it, and it is they who are thought to have named it Al-Khazneh, believing it contained treasures.

国际冲浪

国际冲浪日通过激发人们对冲浪的热情来促进对海洋的保护。
每年 6 月的第三个星期六,人们都会聚集在一起参加冲浪比赛、烧烤、海滩清理和其他活动,以帮助恢复和保护海洋环境。
为一项事业走到一起是全球冲浪社区的标志,无论是为了自然还是为了反对不公正,正如他们在 2020
加利福尼亚州恩西尼塔斯举行的“为团结划桨”聚会上所做的那样,如图所示。

冲浪的历史可以追溯到12世纪的波利尼西亚,那里的人民将这项传统带到了夏威夷。冲浪运动于1885 年在加利福尼亚州圣克鲁斯附近首次在美国亮相,当时四位夏威夷王子在红木板上冲浪圣洛伦佐。如今,冲浪运动已遍布全球。

International Surfing Day

International Surfing Day promotes the protection of the ocean alongside celebrating the sport itself, every year on the third Saturday in June. People gather for surfing contests, barbeques, beach cleanups, and other activities to help restore the ocean environment. Coming together for a cause is a hallmark of the global surfing community, whether campaigning for cleaner waters or standing together against injustice, as they did at the Paddle Out for Unity gathering in 2020 in Encinitas, California, pictured on our homepage.

Surfing traces back to 12th-century Polynesia, whose people carried the tradition to Hawaii. The sport made its US debut in 1885 near Santa Cruz, California, when four Hawaiian princes surfed the San Lorenzo River on redwood boards. Today, surfing has expanded around the world.

自然摄影日

让自己沉浸在大自然中绝对是阴沉的一天的最佳解药。我们周围的动植物、景色、声音和气味可以安抚我们的精神、身体和灵魂。想象自己沉浸在若虚若幻的情境中,好像站在神秘森林里,被高耸木、潺潺溪流还有闪烁的萤火虫环绕。这片神秘的森林就是大烟山国家公园,这里每年五月和六月是萤火虫季。今天是大烟山国家公园的创立日,也正好是自然摄影日,可能没有什么比在今天拍摄萤火虫更应景了。

Nature Photography Day

Towering trees, rushing streams, and luminous fireflies combine to create this magical landscape in Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The park is famous for its firefly season between May and June when these 'lightning bugs' gather to put on a light show as part of a mating display. Today, we celebrate the anniversary of this magnificent national park, as well as Nature Photography Day. There may be no better subject than the lightning bug to mark the day—as photography is the art of capturing light in lasting images.

巴洛克风盛宴 A Baroque treasure

帕绍,德国

帕绍位于德国的下巴伐利亚州,因为多瑙、因河和伊尔茨河在此交汇,帕绍又被称作“三河之城”。帕绍以其哥特风格和巴洛克风格的建筑闻名。多瑙河和伊尔茨河之间的上坐落着上韦斯特城堡和下韦斯特城堡,俯瞰着这座城市。

今天的帕绍是一座古老和现代相互交织的城市。从老城漫步到满是高端店铺的新中心,这一路上你会看到城市现代化的同时还保留着很多古老的传统。老城还有一个“艺术家区”——Höllgasse,这里的老房子里满是工作室、工坊和画廊。帕绍还有各种各样的美食,本地的酒吧和酒馆可以提供最棒的巴伐利亚和奥地利食物。
