海盗的最终归宿 A buccaneer's final haven

奥克拉科克岛上的奥克拉科克灯塔,北卡罗来纳州

欢迎来到北卡罗来纳州外滩的奥克拉科克岛。这是一个历史与自然交织的地方。这座只有乘坐渡轮或小型飞机才能到达的僻静小岛,拥有16英里长的人迹罕至的海滩和丰富的故事。从今天的图片中可以看到,奥克拉科克灯塔是一个引人注目的地标,它于2023年迎来了200周年纪念日,并成为了北卡罗来纳州最古老的、持续运行的灯塔。这座灯塔的灯光亮度与8000支蜡烛的亮度相当,在离岸14英里处都能看到。

奥克拉科克岛的历史充满了海盗的故事,其中包括声名狼藉的黑胡子:他是一名英国海盗,因在西印度群岛以及弗吉尼亚和卡罗莱纳海岸一带活动而臭名昭著。他在奥克拉科克岛度过了生命最后的大部分时,直到1718年去世。岛上的居民讲一种融合了伊丽莎白时代的英语、爱尔兰语和苏格兰口音的独特方言,名叫“Hoi Toider”。不过,随着年轻一代采用更标准的美式英语,这种方言正在慢慢消失。尽管奥克拉科克岛的人口不多,但其历史、文化和自然美景使其成为各年龄段游客心驰神往的目的地。

Ocracoke Lighthouse on Ocracoke Island, North Carolina

Welcome to Ocracoke Island in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This secluded island, with 16 miles of beaches, can only be reached by ferry or small plane. The Ocracoke Lighthouse, seen in today's image, stands out as a notable landmark. The lighthouse celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2023, making it the oldest continuously operating lighthouse in North Carolina. It boasts an 8,000-candlepower light, which can be seen up to 14 miles offshore.

Ocracoke Island's history is peppered with tales of pirates, including the infamous Blackbeard, an English pirate who was notorious for his operations in the West Indies and along the Virginia and Carolina coasts. He spent much of his final days on Ocracoke Island until his death in battle with British naval forces in 1718. The island's residents speak the unique 'Hoi Toider' dialect, a blend of Elizabethan English, Irish, and Scottish accents. However, this dialect is slowly fading as younger generations adopt more standard American English.

埃尔博河上空的银河,阿尔伯塔省,加拿大

在阿尔伯塔省风景如画的南部,埃尔博河发源自加拿大落基山脉中的埃尔博。这条120公里长的河流蜿蜒地穿过山谷,然后在海拔1040米的卡尔加里与弓河汇合。沿河而行可以看到埃尔博瀑布,这是一个由一系列的叠水瀑布组成的自然奇观。季,这里会变成一个仙境,夏季则是奔腾的水流,非常适合漂流、皮划艇、钓鱼、远足和其他休闲活动。

晚上,埃尔博河区域有着迷人的夜景,正如图片所示的那样:银河横跨天际,为人类提供了一个绝佳的仰望星空的机会。埃尔博河是卡尔加里市的“母亲河”,供应着该市40%的饮用水。这些水储存在韦斯尔黑德平原和格伦牟水库。无论您是想体验激流勇进的快感,还是想享受徒步旅行的宁静,这个自然奇观都不会让您失望。

中之城 Castle in the clouds

郡上八幡城,岐阜县,日本

在日本的岐阜县,郡上八幡城雄伟地矗立在八幡上。它始建于1599年,见证了日本几个世纪的历史,包括大家族的新衰。它在动荡的明治维新时期被拆除——这一时期标志着日本皇权的回归,又于1933年重建。今天图片中看到的城堡,是一个独特的木制重建城堡,在日本多是混凝土重建的城堡中很罕见。这个五层的建筑里设有一座博物馆,在博物馆里,人们可以一窥封建时代的日本,同时还能欣赏下方山谷的壮丽景色。除了城堡,该地还因举办郡上舞祭而闻名,这是日本最古老的舞蹈节之一,它在每年的七月中旬至九月初举行,吸引当地居民和游客在城镇中通宵跳舞,传承着超过400年的传统。

Gujō Hachiman Castle, Gifu prefecture, Japan

In Japan's Gifu prefecture, Gujō Hachiman Castle stands majestically on Hachiman Mountain. Originally constructed in 1559, this castle has witnessed centuries of Japanese history, including the rise and fall of powerful clans. It was torn down during the tumultuous Meiji Restoration—the period that marked the return of imperial power in the country—but was rebuilt in 1933. The castle seen in today's image is a unique wooden reconstruction, a rarity among Japan's often concrete rebuilt castles. This five-story structure, which includes a museum, offers a glimpse into feudal Japan while providing stunning views of the valley below. In addition to the castle, the city of Gujō is also famous for hosting the Gujō Odori, one of Japan's oldest dance festivals. Held annually from mid-July to early September, the festival sees locals and tourists alike dancing through the night in the castle town, preserving a tradition that dates back more than 400 years.

中秋

节是流行于中国的众多民族中的传统文化节日。从古至今,人们都有中秋之夜饮宴、赏月、吃月饼、看灯、赏桂花、饮桂花酒等民俗。中秋节最大的特征是人们将内心美好的愿望寄托于明月。此外,中秋节时正当农业丰收的季节,月饼和瓜果既是古代的祭神媒介,也是如今人们庆祝丰收美好心情的具体象征。

豫园,始建于明代嘉靖、万历年间,已有450余年历史,占地30余亩,与露香园、日涉园合称为“明朝上海三大名园”,名列现存的上海五大古典名园之首,为国家AAAA级旅游景区。豫园有着典型的江南园林风貌,体现了明清两代南方园林“清幽秀丽、精致玲珑”的艺术风格,园内还保存着相当数量的古名木及明清家具、名人字画、泥塑砖雕、额匾楹联等文物珍品,凝聚着丰富的中国传统文化艺术的精华。上海豫园是江南五大园林之一,拥有独特的艺术特色与研究价值。豫园是江南私家园林中别具特色的一座,素有“城市林”的美誉,又被赞为“奇秀甲于东南”,是上海市内唯一一座明式园林。

阿科马尼奥海滩,卡拉布里亚,意大利

提到卡拉布里亚,就不得不说说这里迷人的香料——辣椒。在卡拉布里亚地区,辣椒是一种人见人爱的香料,你可以在很多典型的食物中发现它们,例如斯皮林加的香肠(辣味猪肉香肠),阿曼泰亚的鱼酱(用沙丁鱼酱和辣椒制成的酱料),还有一些食品也会用到它,例如带有厄洛斯香料味道的利口酒和盐。在这里,你可以尝试从最甜到最辣的各种类型的美食,参加厨师烹饪、关于辣椒的医学会议、展览、诗歌、塔兰泰拉舞等活动。此外,这里还有一个关于辣椒的最佳论文奖。

如果您想要暂别火辣辣的氛围,呼吸一口新鲜空气,距此约20公里的大拱门就是最佳的去处,这里的自然美景会让您陶醉其中。这座雄伟的岩石拱门是海浪经过数千年的时间“雕刻”出来的,它通向一个小海滩,水晶般清澈的海水与天空在这里交汇。踏入这里就像进入一个秘密世界,大自然为寻求宁静和奇观的人们创造了一个世外桃源,请放松身心,欣赏美景,仔细聆听海浪的低语,它们在讲述当地的传说、神话和传统。

This stunning 71,028-acre coastal haven on the Point Reyes Peninsula in Marin County is a gem of the California coastline. Filled with scenic trails that wind through forests and along cliffs, it boasts breathtaking views and lots of wildlife. Point Reyes National Seashore also has a reputation as the most wind-swept spot on the Pacific Coast and the second-foggiest area in North America, so dress accordingly.

The lighthouse was built in 1870 due to frequent shipwrecks in treacherous coastal waters. This iconic landmark served as a crucial navigation aid for more than 100 years before being replaced by an automated light in 1975. Today, the lighthouse remains a key element of Point Reyes' charm and continues to be a favorite attraction. Whether you're spotting elephant seals, hiking to the picturesque Point Reyes Lighthouse, or simply soaking in the serene beauty of the rolling waves, there's something for everyone.

瓦斯科·达·伽马大桥,里斯本,葡萄

今天的图片展示的是葡萄牙的瓦斯科·达·伽马大桥,宛如一条流畅的线条,穿过里斯本的天际线。从近处看,它是一座带高架桥的斜拉桥,横跨里斯本万国公园的塔霍。瓦斯科·达伽马大桥是欧洲第二长的桥,也是欧盟最长的桥,于1995年2月开工建设,旨在缓解里斯本四月二十五号大桥出现的交通拥堵情况,使葡萄牙南北之间的交通更加顺畅。该桥具有抗震性,可在地震中吸收晃动。由于桥面没有固定在桥塔上,因此可以纵向和横向移动。大桥于1998年3月29日落成通车,恰逢98世博会举行,这是为纪念瓦斯科·达·伽马发现从欧洲到印度的历史性海路500周年而举办的世界博览会。

Vasco da Gama Bridge, Lisbon, Portugal

This sleek structure is the Vasco da Gama Bridge, which appears to vanish into the horizon after crossing the Tagus River in Portugal. Stretching nearly 8 miles, it was Europe's longest bridge when it opened in 1998, built to ease traffic on Lisbon's 25 de Abril Bridge and make travel smoother between the north and south of Portugal. This cable-stayed bridge was designed to be earthquake and wind-resistant; its deck is not fixed to the pylons, and it can move both lengthwise and sideways. Its opening was perfectly timed for Expo 98, the World's Fair celebrating the 500th anniversary of Vasco da Gama's historic sea route discovery from Europe to India.
