雨后见彩虹 A rainbow that's worth the rainfall
威美亚峡谷上空的彩虹,夏威夷
威美亚峡谷被誉为“太平洋大峡谷”,是风景如画的怀波奥瀑布所在地。瀑布和峡谷河流的源头来自地球上降雨量最多的地方之一怀厄莱阿莱峰。大约400万年前,考艾岛火山坍塌了一部分,形成了一个洼地,随着威美亚河流的不断侵蚀,洼地逐渐变成了如今的威美亚峡谷。考艾岛地形多变,风景各不相同,如果你想探寻考艾岛的多样性,可以离开海滩,沿着蜿蜒的550高速公路进入山区,在到达怀波奥瀑布观景台之前,你会在沿途收获海岸和峡谷的壮丽景色。
Waimea Canyon and Waipo'o Falls, Kauai, Hawaii
Waimea Canyon, sometimes referred to as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is home to the picturesque Waipo'o Falls. The water that flows through the falls and canyon descends from Mount Wai'ale'ale, one of the rainiest places on Earth. Around 4 million years ago, a portion of the volcanic Kaua'i collapsed, creating a depression that the Waimea River has further eroded into today's canyon. If you want to see the true variety of Kauai, leave the beach behind and take winding State Route 550 into the mountains. Along the way you will see stunning views of the shore and the canyon before arriving at the lookout for Waipo'o Falls.

这个悬崖怎么着火了? Why is this cliffside ablaze?
马尾瀑布,约塞米蒂国家公园,加利福尼亚州
在约塞米蒂国家公园的埃尔卡皮坦山东侧,当所有自然条件齐备,马尾瀑布就像火一样“燃烧”起来。这种现象只有在2月的几周时间里可以看到,前提是天气晴朗,雪水或雨水形成瀑布,并且光照条件恰到好处。“火瀑布”只会持续大约10分钟,届时,观景区会人潮涌动。希望今年的游客能有幸看到这一神奇的自然景观。
Horsetail Fall, Yosemite National Park, California
When nature converges in rare and glorious fashion on the east side of the rock formation known as El Capitan, Horsetail Fall is illuminated as if on fire. This phenomenon can only be seen for a couple of weeks in February if there is a clear sky, enough water flowing from snowmelt or rain, and perfect timing. This 'firefall' only lasts for around 10 minutes and vantage points can be crowded. Horsetail Fall and El Capitan are part of Yosemite National Park, the second-oldest national park in the US. We hope this year's visitors are fortunate enough to see this magical display.

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.

西班牙比利牛斯山脉奥德萨和蒙特佩迪多国家公园的里奥·阿拉扎斯
比利牛斯山脉在任何季节都很引人注目,但在夏季温暖持续到秋季的年份尤其美丽,自最早的文明在那里扎根以来,比利牛斯半岛一直是伊比利亚半岛和欧洲其他地区之间的天然边界。位于山脉中心的Ordesa y Monte Perdido国家公园创建于1918年,并于1982年扩建。如今,它已成为联合国教科文组织的世界遗产。
该公园拥有陡峭的悬崖和深邃、翠绿的山谷,是摄影师的梦想,拥有由比利牛斯山脉剧烈的海拔变化形成的卓越地质地貌和多样生态。该地区是几个只能在这里找到的物种的家园,包括比利牛斯羚羊和比利牛斯山羚羊,或水鼹鼠。这种被认为是该地区最稀有和最重要的哺乳动物,布卡多山羊或比利牛斯山羊,尽管进行了保护工作,但于2000年1月灭绝。
Rio Arazas in Ordesa and Monte Perdido National Park, Pyrenees, Spain
Striking in any season, but particularly beautiful in years when the warmth of summer stretches into fall, the Pyrenees have served as a natural border between the Iberian Peninsula and the rest of Europe since the earliest civilizations took root there. Located in the center of the range, the Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park was created in 1918 and expanded in 1982. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Boasting sheer cliffs and deep, verdant valleys, the park is a photographer's dream, with a landscape marked by remarkable geological landforms and diverse ecologies shaped by the drastic elevation changes of the Pyrenees. The region is home to several species that can only be found here, including the Pyrenean chamois and the Pyrenean desman, or water mole. The mammal considered the most rare and important in the region, the bucardo or Pyrenean ibex, went extinct in January 2000 despite preservation efforts.

奔腾不息的自然力量 Small but mighty
Athabasca Falls in Jasper National Park
Athabasca Falls is one of the most striking waterfalls on the Icefields Parkway, and a visit to Jasper National Park in Alberta wouldn't be complete without it. Despite its low height of just 23 meters, the incredible volume and intensity of the falls make it a renowned gem of the Canadian Rockies. The falls are fed with pristine water flowing from the Columbia Icefield glaciers and snowmelt from neighboring mountains. Mount Fryatt makes for the perfect backdrop with its horn-shaped summit; a result of being carved and sculpted by glaciers from all angles over the years. Mount Fryatt consists of sedimentary rocks deposited from the Precambrian to Jurassic eras.
贾斯珀国家公园阿萨巴斯卡瀑布
阿萨巴斯卡瀑布是冰原公园路上最引人注目的瀑布之一,没有它,参观亚伯达省的贾斯珀国家公园就不算完整。尽管它的低高度只有23米,但令人难以置信的瀑布体积和强度使它成为加拿大落基山脉著名的宝石。这些瀑布由哥伦比亚冰原冰川流出的纯净水和邻近山脉的融雪补给。弗赖亚特山以其喇叭形的山顶成为完美的背景;这是多年来冰川从各个角度雕刻的结果。Fryatt山由前寒武纪至侏罗纪沉积岩组成。

“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。

拥有6000年历史的大森林 A large forest with 6,000 of years of history
Gifford Pinchot National Forest
Today we're paying a visit to an 'elder statesman' of the United States' national forests. Seen in today's photo is Panther Creek Falls at Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington state. Officially, the forest was named in 1949 in honor of Pinchot, the first head of the US Forest Service. Located between Mount St. Helens to the west and Mount Adams to the east, the land was set aside as a place worth preserving as far back as 1897. But people had been living in the forest for more than 6,000 years. Archaeologists continue to make discoveries within the dense forest that teach us about the past lives of Native Americans.
Spanning 1.3 million acres, GPNF exhibits an array of natural wonders: forests, wildlife, mountains, and numerous rivers and lakes that offer excellent fishing. Goose Lake is said to be the best fishing hole in the state. The forest is known as a native habitat for several threatened species, like the spotted owl, bull trout, and chinook salmon. One of the largest known Ponderosa pines in the world rose 202 feet at the base of Mount Adams before its death in 2015. The grounds also include the 110,000-acre Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, established in 1982.
吉福德平肖国家森林
今天我们要拜访美国国家森林的一位“资深政治家”。在今天的照片中可以看到华盛顿州吉福德平肖国家森林的豹溪瀑布。该森林于1949年正式命名,以纪念美国林业局第一任局长平肖。这片土地位于西面的圣海伦斯山和东面的亚当斯山之间,早在1897年就被作为一个值得保护的地方保留下来。但是人们已经在森林里生活了6000多年。考古学家继续在茂密的森林中进行发现,让我们了解美洲原住民的过去生活。
GPNF占地130万英亩,展示了一系列自然奇观:森林、野生动物、山脉,以及无数河流和湖泊,这些河流和湖泊提供了极好的渔业。鹅湖据说是该州最好的渔场。这片森林被称为几种濒危物种的原生栖息地,如斑点猫头鹰、牛鳟鱼和奇努克鲑鱼。2015年亚当斯山死亡前,世界上已知最大的黄松之一在亚当斯山的底部上升了202英尺。场地还包括建于1982年的占地11万英亩的圣海伦斯山国家火山纪念碑。
