让我们扬帆起航！ Rock the boat

康威河，威尔士

在康威河节上穿越时空，扬帆起航！这项活动于1993年首次在康威城堡下的康威码头举行，体现了威尔士航海传统的精髓。在码头日这一免费露天活动中，划船爱好者们可以尽情体验传统船只和现代船只进行友谊赛的乐趣。人们聚集在一起观看航海游行，品尝当地美食，如用茶、干果和香料调味的茶面包，以及由可食用海藻组成的海藻面包。

康威城堡建于1283年至1287年，由国王爱德华一世在征服威尔士时建造。这座城堡由被誉为欧洲中世纪最伟大的建筑师之一的圣乔治·詹姆斯设计，被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。下方的康威河全长34英里，其名称来源于威尔士语中的“cyn”（首领）和“gwy”（水）。康威城堡和这条河是对威尔士丰富而动荡的过去的永恒致敬。

Conwy, Wales

Welcome to walled town of Conwy, on the north coast of Wales, UK, and its spectacular medieval castle. Conwy Castle was built between 1283 and 1287 on the orders of English King Edward I, during his conquest of Wales. Designed by James of St. George, one of the greatest architects of the time, the castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site which draws visitors from across the world.

The castle towers over the River Conwy, which this weekend hosts the annual Conwy River Festival, including boat races and other water-based events. Spectators gather to witness the nautical parade and enjoy local delicacies like bara brith, a tea bread flavored with tea, dried fruits, and spices, and laverbread made from edible seaweed. The name Conwy is from the Welsh words 'cyn' (chief) and 'gwy' (water) and the town sits at the mouth of the river. It is also the gateway to Eryri National Park, home to Wales's highest mountain Yr Wyddfa, or Snowdon in English.

昔日城市的“灵魂” Ghosts of cities past

意大利卡，桑蒂蓬塞的一座古罗马城市

公元前206年，在伊利帕战役之后，罗马将军兼政治家普布利乌斯·科尼利乌斯·西庇阿为帮助打败迦太基人的罗马老兵建造了一个定居点。该城位于瓜达尔基维尔河右岸，因居民来自意大利而被命名为“意大利卡”。这座城市是罗马人在伊比利亚半岛建立的第一个定居点，在该地区的罗马化进程中发挥了重要作用，该地区当时被称为伊斯帕尼亚，即今天的西班牙。意大利卡在建城后的几个世纪里蓬勃发展，尤其是在图拉真皇帝和哈德良皇帝统治时期。

意大利卡古城，曾经是繁华的城市中心，其最具标志性的特征就是今天图片中的圆形剧场。它是罗马帝国最大的圆形剧场之一，可容纳25000名观众，是当时罗马城人口的两倍多。除此之外，这里还有令人印象深刻的公共建筑遗迹、为纪念图拉真而建的神庙、浴场以及用精美马赛克装饰的别墅。意大利卡古城是保存完好的考古瑰宝，让人得以一窥罗马帝国的辉煌。

The ruins of Italica, Andalusia, Spain

It was the year 206 BCE. In the wake of the decisive Roman victory against the Carthaginians at the Battle of Ilipa, General Publius Cornelius Scipio built a settlement for veterans on the banks of the Guadalquivir River, in modern-day Spain. It was named Italica and was the first Roman settlement on the Iberian Peninsula. The city flourished in the following centuries and was the birthplace of two Roman emperors, Trajan and Hadrian.

The ruins of Italica, close to Seville, include the impressive amphitheater seen in today's image. One of the largest in the Roman Empire, it could accommodate up to 25,000 spectators, more than double the city's population. Beyond this, there are remains of public buildings, a temple built in honor of Trajan, baths, and villas decorated with stunning mosaics. Italica is an archeological gem, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the Roman Empire.

为加拿大干杯 Cheers to Canada!

加拿大国庆日

今天，加拿大迎来了国庆日。它是为了纪念1867年《英属北美条约》的通过，该条约将加拿大联邦、新不伦瑞克省和新斯科舍省这三个英属殖民地合并为加拿大自治国。在1982年之前，联邦成立纪念日一直被称为 "多米尼克日"，直到加拿大完全独立于英国议会，庆祝活动才正式更名为 "加拿大日"。

加拿大是陆地面积仅次于俄罗斯的第二大国，每个角落都有丰富的自然宝藏，如大熊雨林，西北航道，哥伦比亚冰原或海达瓜伊群岛，其中80%的土地无人居住。眺望科尔伍德天然港口的宜人水域，可以看到图片中的菲斯加德灯塔。这座塔是加拿大西海岸的第一座灯塔，建于1860年，位于不列颠哥伦比亚省埃斯奎莫尔特港的费斯加德岛上。

Canada Day

Today, Canada celebrates its national day. It commemorates the passing of the Constitution Act of 1867, which joined three British colonies, the Province of Canada (later Quebec and Ontario), New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, to become the self-governing country of Canada.

Canada is the second-largest country by landmass after Russia. Eighty percent of its land is unoccupied and every corner abounds in natural treasures—like the Great Bear Rainforest, the Northwest Passage, the Columbia Icefield or the Haida Gwaii archipelago. Celebrations including parades, fireworks, and other patriotic festivities will be held across this huge country today. Among those hosting events will be the Fisgard Lighthouse, pictured on our homepage looking out over Esquimalt Harbor in Colwood, British Columbia. The tower was the first lighthouse on the west coast of Canada, built on Fisgard Island in 1860.

“甜蜜的”穹顶 Dome sweet dome

圣母百花大教堂，佛罗伦萨

欢迎来到文艺复兴的摇篮佛罗伦萨！让我们跟着圣母百花大教堂一起穿越时空吧。这座拥有红砖穹顶的哥特式建筑可不是一座普通的教堂，它拥有数百年的历史，令人叹为观止。圣母百花大教堂建在一座老教堂的旧址上，该教堂供奉着圣雷帕拉塔。1296年，在建筑师阿诺尔夫·迪坎比奥的监督下，新教堂开始动工兴建。意大利建筑师和设计师菲利波·布鲁内莱斯基设计了教堂的穹顶，这也是有史以来最大的砖砌穹顶。作为教堂最后动工的部分，这个穹顶没有使用传统的木制框架做支撑，于1436年修建完毕。圣母百花大教堂的迷人之处，不仅仅在于其美丽的外观，在教堂里面，还有许多艺术珍品等待人们的探索，如乔尔乔·瓦萨里的壁画《最后的审判》，保罗·乌切洛绘制的复杂精细的钟面。大教堂建筑群中还有洗礼堂（一座小型教堂）和乔托钟楼（一座独立的钟楼）。行走在圣母百花大教堂里，就如同行走在历史的长河中，每一次转身都能听见历史的回响。

Duomo Santa Maria del Fiore, Florence

Welcome to Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance. Let the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore transport you through time. More than just a church, this Gothic structure, with its red-tiled dome, is steeped in centuries of history. Built over an older cathedral, construction began in 1296 under the supervision of architect Arnolfo di Cambio. Italian architect Filippo Brunelleschi engineered its dome, the largest brick dome ever constructed. Its completion in 1436 was the final stage of the cathedral's construction. It's not just the outside that dazzles; inside there are artistic treasures to discover, from Giorgio Vasari's fresco 'The Last Judgment' to Paolo Uccello's intricate clock face. The cathedral complex is also home to the Baptistery, a small basilica, and Giotto's Campanile, a free-standing bell tower.

Step inside, and you're walking on history—every visit gives a glimpse of the past and a demonstration of human potential.

拍出炫酷照片的好地方 Hot spot for a cool photo

火焰谷州立公园，内华达州

在内华达州干旱广袤的莫哈维沙漠中，坐落着壮观的火焰谷州立公园。该公园占地46000英亩，得名于火红色的阿兹台克砂岩，这是一种侏罗纪早期的地质地层，由古老的沙丘组成。公园最大的亮点是“火浪”，这是一个地质奇观，表面有着红色、粉色和白色的条纹，看上去就像冰冻的波浪。

漫步在公园中，您将会看到神秘的岩画，这是一种在岩石表面刮刻而成的岩画，出自古普韦布洛人之手，他们是住在附近莫瓦帕山谷的农民。岩画上的内容，可能是古普韦布洛人在该地区进行狩猎和宗教仪式。如果您是历史爱好者，不妨尝试破解刻在岩壁上的神秘信息。穿上你的徒步鞋，向火焰谷州立公园出发吧！

Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada

Amid the arid expanse of the Mojave Desert in Nevada lies the natural grandeur of the Valley of Fire State Park. This park, which stretches across 46,000 acres, is named after the fiery red Aztec Sandstone, an Early Jurassic geological formation of made up of ancient sand dunes. The park's highlight, Fire Wave, is a geological marvel that appears like a frozen wave with its red, pink, and white stripes.

In the park, you will come across mysterious petroglyphs, rock carvings made by scratching on the rock's surface, left by the Ancestral Puebloans, who were farmers from the nearby Moapa Valley. It is likely they practiced hunting and performed religious ceremonies in this area. If you are a history buff, you might want to try and decode the cryptic messages carved on the rock faces. Well, put on your hiking shoes and get ready to wander, to wonder, and to witness the Valley of Fire State Park.

让人心旷神怡的美景 The views will blue your mind

克里穆图，弗洛勒斯岛，印度尼西亚

也许您以前见过一些颜色独特的湖泊，但是当您看到印度尼西亚的弗洛勒斯岛上的克里穆图火山口湖后，可能还是会大吃一惊。这个自然奇观拥有三个湖泊，每个湖泊都有自己的颜色和民间传说，吸引着那些寻求超凡脱俗旅行体验的游客。地球深处的火山喷口释放出蒸汽和气体，改变了这些湖泊的矿物成分，导致它们的外观颜色会发生周期性变化。克里穆图的每一个火山口湖都有自己独特的化学成分，这就是为什么它们可以同时呈现不同的颜色，并且这些颜色可以独立变化。最西边的老人湖通常呈现出蓝色调，与此同时，青年湖通常呈现出绿色调，而魔力湖则通常呈现出红色调。当地的利奥人崇敬这些湖泊，认为它们是灵魂的安息之地。如果您已经厌倦了普通的海边旅行，不妨去克里穆图探索这三个能变色的神奇湖泊。

Kelimutu, Flores, Indonesia

You might have seen lakes with some unique colors before, but Indonesian island of Flores, with its volcano Kelimutu, may steal the show. Home to three lakes, each with its own hue and folklore, this natural wonder attracts travelers seeking an otherworldly experience. Volcanic vents deep within the Earth release steam and gas, which alter the lakes' mineral compositions, causing reactions that transform their appearance periodically. Each lake on Kelimutu has its own unique chemical makeup, which is why they can be different colors from each other at the same time, and these colors can change independently. The westernmost lake, Tiwu Ata Bupu (Lake of Old People), normally has a blue hue. Meanwhile, Tiwu Ko'o Fai Nuwa Muri (Lake of Young Men and Maidens) tends to be green, and Tiwu Ata Polo (Bewitched or Enchanted Lake) is usually red.

The local Lio people revere these lakes, believing them to be the resting place of souls. So, why settle for the usual beachside vacation when you can explore a trio of color-changing lakes?
