“瀑布之城”中的小瀑布 Cascade in the 'City of Waterfalls'

Albion Falls, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

The spectacular Albion Falls is just one of more than 130 waterfalls that give the city of Hamilton in Ontario, Canada, its sobriquet: Waterfall Capital of the World. The city eagerly welcomes visitors to share in its natural beauty, and there are hiking and biking trails around the waterfalls as well as guided tours. On the edge of Lake Ontario, Hamilton lies 54 miles northwest of Niagara.

As you can see here, Albion Falls is a stepped waterfall with cascading flows that fan out spectacularly. It's 62 feet high (and almost as wide), and there are two viewing platforms at the top for jaw-dropping photo ops. Just obey the signs and watch your footing: There is some fencing, but the ground can be unstable near the cliff edges.

加拿大安大略省汉密尔顿阿尔比恩瀑布

壮观的阿尔比恩瀑布只是加拿大安大略省汉密尔顿市130多个瀑布中的一个，它的绰号是：世界瀑布之都。该市热切欢迎游客分享其自然美景，瀑布周围有徒步旅行和骑自行车的小径，还有导游。汉密尔顿位于安大略湖边缘，尼亚加拉西北54英里处。

正如你在这里看到的，阿尔比恩瀑布是一个阶梯式瀑布，层叠的水流以惊人的扇形散开。它高62英尺（几乎和它一样宽），顶部有两个观景台，用于拍摄令人瞠目结舌的照片。只要遵守指示牌并注意脚下：有一些围栏，但悬崖边缘附近的地面可能不稳定。

A growing business

Today we're showing off a serene scene at a Christmas tree farm outside Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. If you were to visit a farm like this, however, it's unlikely you'd find much peace and quiet. Of the 25 million to 30 million natural Christmas trees sold each year in the US alone, 98 percent of them come from farms. 'Tis the season for tree chopping. Oregon, home to the popular noble and Douglas firs, produces the most Christmas trees of all US states, shipping much of the harvest to California. North Carolina, of Fraser fir fame, comes in at No. 2. Canada is the world's largest exporter of Christmas trees, spreading holiday cheer around the world.

Tonight, the National Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington, DC, will be held in President's Park near the White House. President Trump will push a button to illuminate a towering evergreen, just as other presidents have done since the first ceremony in 1923.
