听它咆哮！ Hear it roar!

罕肯瀑布,威尔斯格雷省立公园

罕肯瀑布 (Helmcken Falls) 坐落在威尔斯格雷省立公园 (Wells Gray Province Park) 内，是一处令人惊叹的自然奇观。威尔斯格雷省立公园就是为了保护这座优美的瀑布而建立的。为政府工作的土地测量员罗伯特·亨利·李发现了这处大自然带给我们的天然珍宝。这座雄伟的瀑布是加拿大第五高的瀑布，从陡峭的大约有141米的高度火山岩悬崖上倾泻而下，释放出飘逸的雾气，在阳光下翩翩起舞，也形成了彩虹与瀑布相互映衬的绝美景观。

体验孤独与奇迹 Experience the solitude and wonder

草原国家公园，加拿大

萨斯喀彻温省位于加拿大中心地带，是加拿大仅有的两个内陆省份之一。

该公园有着丰富的历史和文化，曾经是黑脚人以及苏族人的家园，也是加拿大西部首次发现恐龙的地方。黑脚人是一个北美土著群体，19世纪初他们的势力达到鼎盛时期，疆土辽阔，北起萨斯喀彻温，南达密苏里河源头。

Happy Independence Day!

Break out the BBQ and unfurl your flags, Independence Day is here! Founding Father John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, that he believed the holiday would be celebrated with parades, sports, shows, and illuminations. After 247 years, Americans are keeping those traditions alive, though not on the date that Adams anticipated. The Second Continental Congress voted to approve the independence of the United States of America on July 2, 1776, but formally adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4. That date, enshrined on the Declaration document, became the one we observe today. If you're looking for a grand way to celebrate, journey to New York City for views of their annual fireworks show and the Empire State Building lit up to match in red, white, and blue.

风景如画的瀑布

辛华达瀑布，贾斯珀国家公园，加拿大

辛华达瀑布位于加拿大艾伯塔省贾斯珀国家公园，落差约为18.5米。从著名的冰原大道下来，通过一条600米的通道便可到达该瀑布。

辛华达瀑布位于通往班夫国家公园的冰原大道旁边，由上下两个瀑布组成，水源来自阿萨巴斯卡冰川融水。上瀑布可以从观景停车场轻松到达，落差约18米。再走过一条长1.3公里的步道、穿过松树林，就到了下瀑布。辛华达瀑布的最佳参观时间是春末或初夏，那时是融雪的高峰期，也是瀑布水量最大的时候。

工程学杰作 A masterpiece of engineering

魁北克大桥，加拿大

魁北克大桥是一座跨越圣劳伦斯河下游的公路、铁路、行人三用桥，连接加拿大魁北克省的桑特富瓦和莱维斯。魁北克大桥是一个工程学杰作，两座桥墩之间有549米长的主跨。魁北克大桥是世界上最长的悬臂桥，比苏格兰的福斯桥还长了27米。

1907年8月29日，这座桥在建设过程中垮塌了。事故之后，政府接手了建设工程。1913年，大桥的建设重启。新的设计增加了大桥主要应力结构的横截面面积，几乎是之前的2倍。但是悲剧重演了。在经历了两次悲剧后，魁北克大桥最终在1917年完工通车。

Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

This stunning structure is the stone pavilion housing the massive Korean Bell of Friendship in Los Angeles, a city with a large Korean American population. It's ringing in Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, which starts today. The month was chosen in recognition of the first documented arrival of Japanese immigrants, on May 7, 1843, and the completion of the transcontinental railroad by more than 20,000 Asian immigrants on May 10, 1869.

Back to that intricately decorated bronze bell. It was a gift to the city from South Korea to mark the US bicentennial in 1976 and is modeled on the largest bell cast in Korean history, the Divine Bell of King Seongdeok, made in 771. Both versions are among the largest bells in the world.

守候浪漫的极光

北极光，怀特霍斯，加拿大育空地区

极光通常也称为极光，是地球天空中的自然光显示，主要出现在高纬度地区（北极和南极附近）。极光显示出明亮光的动态模式，表现为覆盖整个天空的窗帘、光线、螺旋或动态闪烁。

在育空地区等北部地区，观赏极光的最佳时间是 8 月下旬至 4 月中旬。在夏季的几个月里，即使在太阳风活动强烈的时候，夜空也不够黑，看不到北极光。隆冬时节，气温可能降至零下 40 度，穿着合适的冬季服装欣赏展览非常重要。

冬天的乐趣 Good cold fun

魁北克冬季嘉年华

在2月大斋节之前，世界各地会举办庆祝活动，其中广为人知的活动大多位于气候温暖的城市，如里约热内卢和新奥尔良，在圣灰星期三（大斋节首日）之前，狂欢者们会穿着精美的服装狂欢。而魁北克冬季嘉年华则截然不同，正如我们今天的照片展示的那样，这里的庆祝活动充满冬日氛围，有冰雕、雪橇比赛等等冬天才有的特色活动。如今，魁北克的冬季嘉年华已经成为整个西半球规模最大的冬季节日。

Quebec City, Quebec, Canada

Among all the pre-Lenten celebrations that take place around the world in February, the most famous are associated with warm-weather cities like Rio and New Orleans, where revelers party it up in elaborate costumes during the run-up to Ash Wednesday. It's a different affair in Quebec City, pictured here, where participants in the Quebec Winter Carnival enjoy all things winter, from snow sculptures to sleigh races. This former frontier outpost, and little sister to Montreal, is known for its spirited embrace of the coldest, darkest season. No surprise that its winter festival is the biggest in the Western Hemisphere.

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。

加拿大阿尔伯塔省贾斯珀国家公园

贾斯珀国家公园拥有众多令人惊叹的瀑布，但唐格尔溪瀑布的多层瀑布构成了必看的奇观。瀑布位于阿尔伯塔省93冰原公园道附近，很容易到达。坦格尔溪瀑布（Tangle Creek Falls）的水雾在高速公路上也能感受到。如果你想拍一些令人惊叹的照片，那么下了高速公路，走近瀑布，真正沉浸在瀑布的美景中可能是值得的。

Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada

Jasper National Park boasts numerous breathtaking waterfalls, but the multi-tiered cascade of Tangle Creek Falls makes for a must-see spectacle. Located off the 93 Icefields Parkway in Alberta, the falls are easily accessed. Tangle Creek Falls' misty spray can be felt out on the highway itself. If you're looking to capture some breathtaking shots, it may be worth getting off the highway and going closer to the falls to truly soak in its beauty.
