科莱圣卢恰小镇，多洛米蒂山，意大利

这个位于多洛米蒂山山坡上的小村庄风景如画，如果你把它误认为电影中的场景也不足为怪。科莱圣卢恰是一个意大利小镇，有着约400名居民。尽管科莱圣卢恰位于意大利北部，但这个小镇的风格更偏向奥地利。小镇距离奥地利边境的蒂罗尔州只有几步之遥。和它的奥地利邻居一样，科莱圣卢恰以壮美的山峰和滑雪场而闻名。相较于晴朗的威尼斯，科莱圣卢恰的气候更接近寒冷的因斯布鲁克，尽管威尼斯距离小镇南边仅60英里。

Colle Santa Lucia, Dolomites, Italy

This tiny hamlet on the slopes of the Dolomite Mountains is so picturesque, we'd understand if you mistook it for a movie set. But Colle Santa Lucia is a real village in Italy with about 400 residents. Despite its location in Italy's northern reaches, the village is more culturally Austrian than Italian, and is only a stone's throw from the Austrian border state of Tyrol. And like its Austrian neighbors, Colle Santa Lucia is known for its peaks and ski resorts. It has more in common with wintry Innsbruck than sunny Venice, which is less than 100 miles away to the south.

圣丹斯上空的云彩 Clouds dance above Sundance

圣丹斯电影节

尽管城外的景色如此美丽，但今天来到帕克城的人，大多是为了在城里举行的圣丹斯电影节，这是美国独立电影人最大的庆典。昆汀·塔伦蒂诺、史蒂文·索德伯格等好莱坞导演的职业生涯都是从这里开始的。每年都有一批年轻电影人怀揣梦想来到这里，希望能卖出自己的作品。

人们普遍误以为该电影节是由罗伯特·雷德福创立的。实际上，圣丹斯电影节的前身是犹他电影节，由斯特林·范·瓦格南于1978年在盐湖城创办，还邀请了雷德福担任该电影节的主席。此后，雷德福便一直参与其中，并将电影节主办地搬到帕克城。圣丹斯电影节也逐渐成为美国最大的独立电影节。过去十年间，圣丹斯电影节还在伦敦、香港等地设置分会场，规模不断壮大。

Sundance Film Festival opens in Park City

As beautiful as this vista is, most of today's visitors to Park City are there to spend the day inside. Sundance Film Festival, the nation's biggest celebration of independent cinema, opens today and runs through January 29. The careers of Hollywood directors such as Quentin Tarantino and Steven Soderbergh were launched here, and every year a new crop of greenhorns arrives in this mountain enclave with the dream that they'll leave with a distribution deal.

It's a common misconception that the festival was founded by Robert Redford. It was actually started as the Utah Film Festival in Salt Lake City in 1978 by Sterling Van Wagenen, who then brought on Redford as chairman. Redford has remained involved with the festival ever since, presiding over its move to Park City and transformation into the largest festival of its kind in the United States. In the past decade, Sundance London and Sundance Hong Kong have expanded the mission of the Sundance Institute.

冰雪皑皑的芬兰 Frosty Finland

奥拉河，图尔库，芬兰

图尔库大教堂矗立在奥拉河口附近的霜冻森林之上。这座大教堂最初是在13世纪晚期用木头建造的，并在14世纪和15世纪使用石头作为主要建筑材料进行了扩建。事实证明这是明智的选择，因为1827年的图尔库大火灾吞噬了这座城市的大部分地区，也对大教堂造成严重损坏。数年后，这座教堂再次迎来了重建。

Aura River in Turku, Finland

The Turku Cathedral rises above the frosted forests near the mouth of the Aura River, which runs through the middle of Turku, Finland.

Originally built out of wood in the late 13th century, the cathedral was expanded in the 14th and 15th centuries, mainly using stone as construction material. This would prove wise, as the Great Fire of Turku consumed much of the city in 1827 and badly damaged the cathedral. It was rebuilt over the next few years.

两大洲交接的地方 Where two continents meet

如梅利堡垒，土耳其

土耳其是一个温暖的地中海国家，偶尔也会下雪。而今天照片里伊斯坦布尔的冬日雪景，则让如梅利堡垒的轮廓更加清晰可见。梅利堡垒是15世纪由奥斯曼帝国苏丹建造的，目的是为了掌握博斯普鲁斯海峡的海上交通。博斯普鲁斯海峡连接马尔马拉海和黑海，将伊斯坦布尔分为“欧洲一侧”和“亚洲一侧”。如今，这座堡垒不再用于向船只开火，而是用作博物馆和音乐会场地。几百年来，尽管这里已经变了很多，但这里美丽的风景依然如旧。

Rumelihisarı in Istanbul, Türkiye

Though Türkiye usually lives up to expectations as a warm Mediterranean country, snow occasionally falls here. This winter dusting of Istanbul, Türkiye's largest city, brings into sharper focus the lines of Rumelihisarı in the center of our image. The structure, also known as Rumeli Fortress, was built in the 15th century by an Ottoman sultan as a way to choke naval traffic through the narrow Bosporus Strait. The Bosporus connects the Sea of Marmara to the Black Sea, separating Istanbul into what is often referred to as its 'European side' and 'Asian side.' Today, the fortress isn't used to fire upon ships but serves as a museum and concert venue. While the place has changed over the centuries, the killer view hasn't.

我们去哪里玩？ Where we go to play

布雷肯里奇，美国科罗拉多州

19世纪60年代，金矿开采使这座落基山小镇闻名于世。但现在，真正的黄金是飘落在小镇周围山坡上的优质粉雪。布雷肯里奇是科罗拉多州最受欢迎的雪场之一，该度假村总共有35部缆车，连接5座山峰，覆盖2900英亩的区域。游客们也会在夏天来这里钓鱼、骑自行车和划船，游客人数轻松就能超过这里的居民人数（5000人）。如今，布雷肯里奇的金矿早已关闭，自然美景才是这座小镇永恒的价值。

Breckenridge, Colorado

Gold mining put this Rocky Mountain town on the map in the 1860s, but today the real gold is the powdery snow that falls liberally on the slopes that surround the town. Breckenridge is one of Colorado's premier ski and snowboard destinations. The resort has 35 lifts servicing five peaks and 2,900 acres of terrain. The visitors—who also arrive in the summer to fish, cycle, and paddle—easily outnumber the 5,000 residents of this quaint village. The gold mines have long shut down, apart from hosting visits from tourists. The enduring value of Breckenridge is its natural beauty.

冰城 City of ice

中国哈尔滨国际冰雪雕塑节

位于中国黑龙江省的哈尔滨国际冰雪雕塑节将于今天开幕，届时将上演世界上规模最大的冰雪雕塑节所带来的壮观场面。该活动规模大、大胆、美丽，由近千名工人从附近的松花江收集的24万立方码冰块制成的2000多个冰雕。许多雕塑都用彩色灯光照亮，创造了一个充满活力、发光的冰世界。据估计，这些色彩斑斓的景点每年吸引超过1800万游客。这项活动将持续到2月下旬，还包括高山滑雪、上述松花江的冷水游泳，以及节日冰灯表演。

Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, China

The Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, in China's Heilongjiang province, begins today with all the spectacle and fanfare you'd expect from the world's largest festival of its kind. Big, bold, and beautiful, the event features more than 2,000 ice sculptures made from 240,000 cubic yards of ice collected by nearly a thousand workers from the nearby Songhua River. Many of the sculptures are illuminated with colored lights, creating a vibrant, glowing world of ice. It's estimated the colorful sights attract more than 18 million visitors each year. The event, which runs through late February, also features alpine skiing, cold water swimming in the aforementioned Songhua, as well as a festive ice lantern show.

正如童话一般 Fit for a fairytale

德国斯图加特附近的霍亨索伦城堡

迷人的霍亨索伦城堡经过三次重建后，是真的魅力非凡。这座城堡位于霍亨索伦山顶，修建于11世纪，但大部分建筑在1423年长达10个月的围攻中被摧毁，直到几十年后才得以重建。之后它成为了一个重要的战略据点，然而后来它再次失修。19世纪，普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉四世（他因在德国各地建造了许多伟大的建筑而闻名）在这里建造了一座新的城堡，几乎完全替换了这座城堡15世纪的建筑结构。如今，霍亨索伦城堡已成为一座露天博物馆，每年接待超过35万名游客，是德国参观人数最多的城堡之一。

Hohenzollern Castle near Stuttgart, Germany

For the charming Hohenzollern Castle, the third time really was the charm. Constructed on the top of Hohenzollern Mountain in the 11th century, the castle was largely ruined by a 10-month siege in 1423, only to be rebuilt a few decades later. It then served as an important strategic stronghold before again falling into disrepair. In the 19th century, King Frederick William IV of Prussia, best remembered for his commitment to building great works across Germany, had a new castle built on the grounds, replacing almost all the 15th-century construction. Today, Hohenzollern Castle is an open-air museum that hosts more than 350,000 visitors per year, making it one of the most-visited castles in Germany.

元旦 / 斯瓦尔巴群岛的北极熊，挪威

如果你计划在新年第一天跳进冰冷刺骨的湖泊或海湾，那么你就会明白我们今天为什么要展示这张拍摄于挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛的照片。世界各地的人们常常在新年第一天像北极熊一样跳进水里。无论他们是为了慈善、忏悔，还是为了惊世骇俗，这都是迎接新年第一天的最好的方式。当然，对于北极熊来说，这可没什么特别的，不过是它们每天的日常而已。

New Year's Day

If your first scheduled activity of the day has ever involved intentionally jumping into an icy lake or a frigid bay, then you understand the relevance of today's image from the Svalbard Islands of Norway. Polar bear plunges, as these swims have come to be known, take place all over the world, often on New Year's Day. Whether people take the plunge for charity, penance, or shock value, there's no better way to put an exclamation point on the first day of the year. Of course, for actual polar bears, ice cold plunges are an everyday occurrence and won't elicit much more than a yawn.

雪花玻璃球一般的美景 A life-sized snow globe

瑞士马洛加

在拍摄瑞士马洛加的这张照片时，如画这个词是一个轻描淡写的词。这个位于格里森州或地区的高山村庄，无疑是全世界雪球的羡慕和鼓舞！这里距离意大利边境仅几英里，这里令人难以置信的完美冬季景色激发了几个世纪以来的画家和艺术家。马约拉也位于西尔斯湖的边缘，这使得该地区成为夏季和冬季的休闲胜地。这张照片的中心是马洛加的皇冠珠宝，即比利时伯爵在1880年代建造的教堂Chiesa Bianca。如今，曾经庄严的空间被用来举办展览和音乐会。

Maloja, Switzerland

The word picturesque is an understatement when taking in this image of Maloja, Switzerland. This alpine village in the canton, or district, of Grisons, is surely the envy and inspiration of snow globes the world over! Located just a few miles from the Italian border, the impossibly perfect winter scenes found here have inspired painters and artists for centuries. Majola is also located on the edge of Lake Sils, which makes this area a recreational destination in both summer and winter. At the center of this image is the crown jewel of Maloja, the Chiesa Bianca, a church built in the 1880s by a Belgian count. Today, the once solemn space is used to stage exhibitions and concerts.

阖家欢乐的一天 Giddy family fun

Beverley Westwood Common，东约克郡，英国

我们照片中的滑雪者正在享受英国的节礼日，他们在东约克郡黑磨坊附近的贝弗利韦斯特伍德公馆（Beverley Westwood Common）裹着行囊，冲下一座小山。传统上，节礼日是圣诞节兴奋过后放松的一天。名字后面是什么？有几种说法，但最被广泛接受的说法是，这个名字来源于圣诞节后第二天向穷人赠送“盒子”（礼物）。也许我们今天都应该效仿这个例子，吃圣诞剩饭，听萦绕的颂歌。我们怎样才能给那些不幸的人一个小小的圣诞节呢？

Beverley Westwood Common, East Yorkshire, England

The sledders in our photo are enjoying Boxing Day in England, bundled up and hurtling down a hill at Beverley Westwood Common near Black Mill in East Yorkshire. Traditionally, Boxing Day is a day off to relax after the excitement of Christmas. What's behind the name? There are a few theories, but the most widely accepted one is that the name derives from the giving of 'boxes' (of gifts) to the poor the day after Christmas. Perhaps we should all follow that example today, as we eat Christmas leftovers and listen to lingering carols. How can we give a little Christmas to those who are less fortunate?
