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.
