Harvest time in the Palouse

The Palouse region of inland Pacific Northwest is an unusually hilly prairie that straddles the state line between Washington and Idaho. Farming seems an unlikely endeavor here, but the land, and the weather patterns, make it ideal for wheat and lentil farming. This time of year, the soft white wheat harvest is on, as the crop turns from green to gold, and for the farmers, from harvest to profit. Before Europeans and early US settlers arrived, the Palouse was occupied by the Nez Perce people, who bred and raised horses with spotted coats—a breed that would eventually come to be known as 'appaloosas'—a gradual permutation of the name 'Palouse.'

DC is the place to be

The building in our photo today is the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington DC. It's part of the large network of the Smithsonian Institution, and has branches in New York and Maryland. All three share one of the world's largest collection of Western Hemisphere Native artifacts, ‘from the Arctic Circle to Tierra del Fuego.' Architect Douglas Cardinal drew on his Blackfoot cultural history to create the soft, curved lines of the building in the nation's capital. It's meant to evoke limestone cliffs, with rock walls smoothed by the elements. The landscape around the building simulates a wetland environment.

一个国家的灵魂之地
美国,瑞尼尔国家公园

绝美之境
国家公园谁不爱逛!

大多数人选择在温暖舒适的天气里来这儿,但冬天的凌冽和景会给这里带来另一种惊人的美。在华盛顿州的瑞尼尔山国家公园(Mount Rainier National Park),天是享受休闲雪活动的好时机。冬季的额外好处是,这时的国家公园没有夏季那样拥挤的人群。在大提顿山脉的雪地上,你很容易就能看到成群的麋鹿和其他野生动物。或者漫步在布赖斯峡谷白雪皑皑的峰顶(高耸的红色岩石尖顶),此刻的你可能会觉得冬天才是参观这个国家公园的最佳时间。今天的壁纸便是我们拍到的公园中透过层的日出。文/时尚旅游
