美丽又危险 Beautiful and dangerous

亚伯拉罕湖，艾伯塔省，加拿大

冬天冰冻的亚伯拉罕湖虽然美丽，其下却暗藏杀机：湖底的沼气被困在冻结的湖面下，形成了这些清晰可见的小气泡。这些自然形成的美景令摄影师趋势若骛。

冬天来了 The beginning of winter

庐山冬季景观

今年11月7日是“立冬”节。立冬也是农历冬季的第一个节气。冬季的开始从11月7日或8日持续到22日或23日，与春天开始、夏天开始和秋天开始一样，它代表着一个新季节的开始。

我们仍然保持着在立冬时吃美味食物的习俗。在中国南方，鸡、鸭、鱼和其他肉类是人们的首选；在中国北方，尤其是北京和天津，人们喜欢吃饺子，象征着季节的变化。

Winter landscape on Lushan

November 7 this year is the "Start of Winter" festival. The start of Winter is also the first solar term of winter in the lunar calendar. The start of Winter lasts from November 7th or 8th to the 22nd or 23rd, and like Spring Begins, Summer Begins, and Autumn Begins, it stands for the beginning of a new season.

We still keep this custom of eating delicious food at the Beginning of winter. In south China, chicken, duck, fish, and other meats are people's first choice; in north China, especially in Beijing and Tianjin, people would like to have Jiaozi (Dumpling), signifying the change of seasons.

奥伊米亚康的冬天，俄罗斯 Winter in Oymyakon, Russia (© Alexandr Berdicevschi/Getty Images)

Oymyakon, Russia

Oymyakon, Russia, is one of a few places claiming to be the coldest spot in the Northern Hemisphere, a northern 'Pole of Cold.' Centuries of evolving meteorological technology means some historic cold temperatures are considered more accurate than others. The record for ultimate cold is a hot debate.

Oymyakon's claim may be strongest, though. The Siberian town has a verified low-temperature record of minus 89.9 degrees Fahrenheit in 1933—though if local lore and a Soviet-era monument are accurate, the true low was notched a decade earlier at minus 96.2.

By the way, the southern Pole of Cold blows all claimants to the northern record away like fresh-fallen snow: Russia's Vostok Station, in Antarctica, once recorded a low of minus 128.6! Think the Russians brought the cold with them?

俄罗斯Oymyakon

俄罗斯的Oymyakon是少数几个声称是北半球最冷的地方之一，是北方的“冷极”几个世纪以来不断发展的气象技术意味着一些历史上的低温被认为比其他温度更准确。关于终极感冒的记录是一场激烈的辩论。

不过，奥米亚康的说法可能最为强烈。这座西伯利亚小镇在1933年的低温记录已被证实为零下89.9华氏度，但如果当地的传说和苏联时期的纪念碑是准确的，那么真正的低温在十年前就达到了零下96.2华氏度。

顺便说一句，寒冷的南极把所有的求偿者都吹到了北方的记录上，就像刚刚下过雪一样：位于南极洲的俄罗斯沃斯托克站曾记录到负128.6的低点！你认为是俄罗斯人带来了寒冷吗？

Burghausen town and Salzach river, Bavaria, Germany

The town of Borghausen is located on the banks of the Salchach, a large river in the Alps, which at 225 km. The name "castle" is rarely as specific as it is in upper Bavarian town, cause Borghausen boasts the world's longest castle complex at 1,051 meters.

The impressive defensive structure sits on a ridge above the old town, with a total of six courtyards. The oldest part dates back to the Middle Ages, with the first documentary mentioning around 1025. The main castle represents the oldest part of it, which can be seen clearly on the left side in the picture.

德国巴伐利亚州Burghausen镇和Salzach河

Borghausen镇位于阿尔卑斯山脉的一条大河Salchach河岸上，全长225公里。“城堡”这个名字很少像在上巴伐利亚镇那样具体，因为博格豪森拥有世界上最长的城堡建筑群，高1051米。

令人印象深刻的防御结构坐落在老城上方的山脊上，共有六个庭院。最古老的部分可以追溯到中世纪，第一部纪录片提到1025年左右。主城堡代表了它最古老的部分，在图片的左侧可以清楚地看到。

Rydal Water in the Lake District, Cumbria, England

Reflecting winter skies and frozen fells in our homepage image is Rydal Water, one of the smallest but prettiest lakes in the Lake District. Rydal Water is one of the two lakes most associated with William Wordsworth, one of England’s greatest poets. (The other is neighbouring Grasmere, to which Rydal is connected by the River Rothay.) Wordsworth lived around these bodies of water, first at Dove Cottage and later Rydal Mount, between 1799 and 1850, writing some of his best-known works and hosting leading lights of the Romantic movement, including his friend, Samuel Taylor Coleridge. To the western edge of the lake is Wordsworth’s Seat, a rocky outcrop said to be the writer’s favourite spot.

Rydal Water is in a glacial valley, one of 13 valleys in the Lake District. Partly owned by the National Trust, it sits at the foot of Loughrigg Fell and has been known to freeze over on winter days like this one. You can walk around Rydal Water and take in Wordsworth’s former homes as well as passing by Rydal Cave in the hill above the lake. Surrounded by woodland, pasture and craggy fells, with several historic properties and beautifully designed landscapes, this is an inspiring place for aspiring poets, whatever the season.

英格兰坎布里亚湖区的赖德尔水

赖达尔湖是湖区最小但最美丽的湖泊之一，它反映了我们主页图像中冬季的天空和冰冻的森林。莱德尔湖是与英国最伟大的诗人之一威廉·华兹华斯联系最为密切的两个湖泊之一。（另一个是邻近的格拉斯米尔，莱德尔河与之相连。）1799年至1850年间，华兹华斯生活在这些水域周围，先是在多夫小屋，后是莱德尔山，他写了一些最著名的作品，并主持了浪漫主义运动的主要活动，包括他的朋友塞缪尔·泰勒·柯勒律治。湖的西边是华兹华斯的所在地，据说这是作家最喜欢的地方。

莱德尔河位于一个冰川峡谷中，是湖区13个山谷之一。部分归国家信托基金所有，坐落在Loughrigg Fall脚下，在像这样的冬天会结冰。你可以在莱达尔水边散步，参观华兹华斯的故居，也可以经过湖上小山上的莱达尔洞穴。这里被林地、牧场和崎岖的小林所环绕，有几处历史古迹和设计精美的景观，无论什么季节，这都是一个让有抱负的诗人感到振奋的地方。
