萨斯尼茨灯塔,吕根岛,梅克伦堡-前波美拉尼亚州
吕根岛是德国最大的岛屿,当如诗如画的景色被皑皑白雪覆盖时,这里就会变成一个冬日仙境。如果您想远离城市的喧嚣,吕根岛是理想的度假胜地。过去,许多艺术家都曾来到这里尽情挥洒他们的创造力,巍峨的白垩悬崖就曾激发了历史上著名的德国画家卡斯帕·大卫·弗里德里希的创作灵感。
萨斯尼茨灯塔是这片冬日绝景的见证者和守护者。这座灯塔建于19世纪,巍然屹立在岛上,帮助水手们在波涛汹涌的海面,以及大雾暴雨和其他恶劣天气条件下安全航行。仔细看一看,你不觉得灯塔很浪漫吗?它们威严地矗立在那里,知晓数百年来关于海洋的秘密,虽然它们是没有生命的建筑物,但却是人类最忠实的朋友和守护者。
你了解集邮吗?如果你有集邮的经历,可能知道我们在说什么。如果不知道,那这里有一个鲜为人知的事实想说与你听。这座灯塔于1975年5月13日首次出现在东德邮票上,不过它并不是唯一的一个,你还知道其他的灯塔吗?

魔幻时刻 A magic hour indeed
沃尔顿灯塔,圣克鲁斯,加利福尼亚州
走进美国西部边缘,这里是沃尔顿灯塔的所在地。沃尔顿灯塔又名圣克鲁斯防波堤灯塔,是过往船只的指路明灯。2002年,这座40英尺高的现代海上建筑物在加利福尼亚州圣克鲁斯建成完工,取代了之前那座朴素简陋的灯塔。沃尔顿灯塔得名于商人查尔斯·沃尔顿,为了纪念自己的兄弟德里克·沃尔顿,他慷慨地捐赠了这座灯塔的建设费用。
自1800年代中期以来,圣克鲁斯一直是一座繁忙的港口城市,当时的船只会在这里卸下石灰、红木及其他农产品等货物。如今,圣克鲁斯港是商业捕鱼船队的所在地,也是出租皮划艇、小船和冲浪板的热门地点。
Walton Lighthouse, Santa Cruz, California
Step to the western edge of America, where the Walton Lighthouse, also known as the Santa Cruz Breakwater Lighthouse, is a beacon for passing ships. Built in 2002, this 40-foot-tall building replaced a more modest light. The Walton Lighthouse got its name from Charles Walton, a businessman who helped fund its construction in memory of his brother Derek, a merchant seaman who died at sea during World War II.
Santa Cruz has been a busy port city since the mid-1800s, when ships would unload lime, redwood, and other agricultural products. These days, Santa Cruz Harbor is home to a commercial fishing fleet, as well as a popular place to rent kayaks, boats, and paddleboards.

赤血群岛的守护者
帕拉塔和桑吉奈尔群岛的热那亚之旅,阿雅克肖
闭上双眼,想象一下身处在科西嘉岛美丽的日落下,聆听海浪的声音......
帕拉塔塔建于1550-1551年,是一座历史悠久的防御塔。这座塔位于帕拉塔半岛,距离科西嘉岛的阿雅克肖约15公里。为了保护科西嘉海岸免受海盗的袭击,热那亚在科西嘉岛的海岸线上一共建造了90座这样的塔,它只是其中之一。
在帕拉塔塔,你可以饱览桑吉奈尔群岛的壮丽景色。坐落在阿雅克肖湾的吉奈尔群岛是由四个岩石小岛组成的,因其在日落时岩石呈现出血红色,它也被称为“赤血群岛”。为了褒奖当地为遗址保护和可持续管理做出的贡献,赤血群岛和帕拉塔角均被授予了“法国大景区”称号。

国际灯塔周
每年8月的第三个周末,世界各地的灯塔爱好者和航海历史爱好者都会聚在一起庆祝国际灯塔周,纪念这些标志性建筑的悠久历史和关键作用。人们可以走进这些灯塔,亲眼见证这些巨大的灯塔通过将灯光、仪器和精密的工程技术巧妙地结合在一起来发挥作用。
起点灯塔就是这些灯塔中的一座,它高高地矗立在英国德文郡崎岖的悬崖上,俯瞰着英吉利海峡。这座优雅的灯塔建于1836年,由英国土木工程师詹姆斯·沃克设计,其明亮的光束指引着船只安全通行。这个日子也提醒着我们,灯塔在航海历史中起到的重要作用。
International Lighthouse Weekend
To mark International Lighthouse Weekend, we're on England's southwest coast, where Start Point Lighthouse looks out over the turbulent waters of the English Channel. The lighthouse is perched upon a rugged cliff on one of the country's most exposed peninsulas, which stretches nearly a mile into the sea in the county of Devon. Built in 1836, the elegant lighthouse was designed by civil engineer James Walker in the Gothic style, as seen in its castle-like parapet. It has undergone many changes since then and more accommodation was added in the 1870s, but no lighthouse keepers live there now—it has been automated since 1993.

地上一点,天上万千 One on land, a million in space
博迪岛灯塔,北卡罗来纳州,美国
作为信标、警告、亦是希望和回家的象征,灯塔已经存在了几千年。几个世纪以来,科技一直在进步,如今的灯塔技术远非几百年前的灯塔可比,人们在20英里之外就能看见现代灯塔的灯光。今天照片里展示的是始建于1872年的博迪岛灯塔,它俯瞰一片被称为大西洋坟场的海域。自建成之日起它就在和头顶群星争辉,指引水手回到安全的港湾。
National Lighthouse Day
Happy National Lighthouse Day! A beacon, a warning, and a symbol of hope and home, lighthouses have existed for thousands of years. The earliest known was the Pharos of Alexandria, which stood an estimated 330 feet tall. Built by the ancient Egyptians in the 3rd century BCE, an open fire was lit at its highest part to guide ships into port. Illumination technology advanced over the centuries, culminating in today's electric versions beaming light that can be seen from over 20 miles away. North Carolina's Bodie Island Lighthouse, pictured here, was built in 1872 and overlooks a section of ocean once known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Since then, it's been doing its best to outshine the stars above, as it guides sailors home to safe harbor.

金光中的灯塔 A beacon in the golden light
科尔杜昂灯塔,法国
建于1611年的科尔杜昂灯塔堪称海上奇迹,它矗立在法国大西洋中吉伦特河口湾的一块巨石上。这座灯塔在18世纪经历了改造,因为集宫殿、堡垒和大教堂于一身,所以它被誉为“海上凡尔赛宫”。
目前,科尔杜昂灯塔是法国海岸唯一有人看守的灯塔,也是法国最古老的功能性灯塔。到访科尔杜昂灯塔,它会带你踏上梦回过去的旅程,站在灯塔上,你还可以俯瞰周围海洋和陆地的壮丽景色。
Cordouan Lighthouse, France
Built between 1584 and 1611, the Cordouan Lighthouse is France's oldest working lighthouse and the only one in the country that is still inhabited by keepers. For centuries, this maritime marvel has watched over the Gironde Estuary, on France's Atlantic coast, a treacherous area where shipwrecks were once common.
Designed by engineer Louis de Foix and remodeled in the 18th century, this stunning lighthouse with its stained-glass windows and Renaissance architecture is sometimes known as the Versailles of the Seas, after the famous French palace. Others call it the King of Lighthouses.
A visit to this historic landmark will take you on a journey to a bygone era, concluding with a climb up more than 300 steps to the lighthouse's pinnacle, where you can enjoy a commanding view of the coast and Atlantic Ocean.

有点孤单,有点浪漫
布列塔尼的小米努灯塔
今天照片里的是法国西北海岸上的小米努灯塔。小米努灯塔坐落于法国布列塔尼的海岸边,是一座圆柱形的花岗岩灯塔,顶着一盏红灯。小米努灯塔和波尔奇克灯塔坐落在一条线上,标志着布雷斯特港的入口。它自1948年修建以来一直发挥着重要的作用,不光为往来的水手提供向导,还守护着布雷斯特海峡的入口。
虽然小米努(Petit
Minou)在法语中会让人联想起小猫,但是这个名字的由来似乎是布列塔尼语中“min”(意思是“嘴”或是“点”),"min"的复数形式是"minou",于是就变成了这个可爱的名字。这座灯塔建在小米努海角上,对应的,附近还有一处大米努海角。

一个小而强大的守护者 A small but mighty guardian
Spring Point Ledge Light
Spring Point Ledge Light warns boats approaching Portland Harbor of the hazardous ledge that it's named for. This underwater ridge reaches out into the shipping channel and was the cause of many shipwrecks in the late 19th century when the harbor was one of the busiest on the entire east coast. Built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, Spring Point Ledge Light has been a reliable guardian of Casco Bay and Portland Harbor since 1897. The brick and cast-iron lighthouse earned its spot on the National Historic Register in 1988. In May 2022, people celebrated the 125th anniversary of the first time the lamp was lit, back when it guided schooners and hulking steamships safely to shore.
春角礁灯塔
春角礁灯塔警告驶向波特兰港的船只注意以其命名的危险岩架。这个水下海脊伸入航道,是19世纪末许多船只失事的原因,当时该港是整个东海岸最繁忙的港口之一。由美国陆军工程兵团建造的春角礁灯塔自1897年以来一直是卡斯科湾和波特兰港的可靠守护者。1988年,这座砖石结构的灯塔被列入国家历史名录。2022年5月,人们庆祝了该灯首次点亮125周年,当它引导帆船和笨重的轮船安全靠岸时。
