把梦想变成现实！ Don't just dream it, stream it!

龙瀑布，委内瑞拉

在荒野的中心地带，一个令人敬畏的景象从山上倾泻而下，这就是委内瑞拉的丘伦梅鲁瀑布！该瀑布也被称为龙瀑布，位于奥扬特普伊山峡谷南端的一个狭长地带，在雨季会与一条邻近的溪流相连。今天的图片展示的正是丘伦梅鲁瀑布从约1300英尺的高处倾泻而下。委内瑞拉拥有一些令人印象深刻的世界自然奇观，其中包括地球上最高的瀑布，也就是位于丘伦梅鲁以南约4英里处的天使瀑布。詹姆斯·安吉尔发现了天使瀑布，但人们常常误以为他发现了龙瀑布，佐证这一说法的证据是天使瀑布常常被误认为是龙瀑布。因此，无论您是在寻找天使瀑布还是龙瀑布，委内瑞拉都有适合您的瀑布！

Churún Merú waterfall in Venezuela

In the heart of the wilderness, an awe-inspiring sight plummets from a mountain—the Churún Merú waterfall in Venezuela. Also known as Dragon Falls, the cascade featured in today's image is in a narrow niche at the southern end of the canyon that divides the mountain of Auyán-tepui. Falling from around 1,300 feet, Churún Merú is joined by a neighboring stream in the wet season. Venezuela is home to some of the world's most impressive natural wonders, including the highest waterfall on Earth, Angel Falls, found some 4 miles south of Churún Merú. So, whether you're after angels or dragons, Venezuela has a waterfall for you!

鸟瞰 Bird's-eye view

马加迪湖，肯尼亚

多么不可思议的景色啊！这张航拍照片展示了以肯尼亚马加迪湖为背景的小红鹳群。小红鹳是六种火烈鸟之一，以其鲜艳的粉红色羽毛和独特的觅食行为而闻名。由于喙的构造，这些鸟喜欢在水面附近进食。它们主要栖息在碳酸盐浓度较高的非洲苏打湖。马加迪湖就是这样一个充满蓝藻和海藻的苏打湖，为火烈鸟提供了充足的营养。成千上万只火烈鸟聚集在湖边的壮观景象揭示了这些独特生态系统的重要性。

Lake Magadi, Kenya

What an unearthly view! This aerial photograph shows a flamboyance of lesser flamingos against the backdrop of Lake Magadi in Kenya. The lesser flamingo is one of six species of flamingo, a bird known for its vibrant pink plumage and distinctive feeding behavior. They use their specialized beaks to filter algae near the water's surface and are often found in African soda lakes like Lake Magadi, which are brimming with cyanobacteria and algae for them to eat. The spectacle of thousands of these avian wonders congregating at the lake reveals the importance of these unique ecosystems.

摩天大楼日

每年的9月3日是摩天大楼日，同时，这一天也是现代主义建筑的先驱、被称为"摩天大楼之父"的路易斯·沙利文的诞辰。摩天大楼遍布世界各大城市，是进步、野心和人类追求新高度的象征。曼哈顿是纽约市人口稠密、充满活力的中心地带，这里有着令人目眩神迷的天际线和鳞次栉比的摩天大楼。这些建筑，比如帝国大厦、世界贸易中心一号楼和克莱斯勒大厦，构成了这座城市的建筑和文化遗产，每年都吸引着数百万游客慕名而来。

Skyscraper Day

Skyscraper Day pays tribute to the towering architectural wonders that dominate our city skylines. Observed on September 3, it also marks the birthday of Louis Henry Sullivan, a pioneer of modern architecture who is often called the 'father of skyscrapers.' Found in the world's biggest cities, skyscrapers serve as symbols of progress, ambition, and reaching new heights. Manhattan, the dense, vibrant heart of New York City, boasts a mesmerizing skyline with an array of iconic skyscrapers. These structures, like the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and the Chrysler Building, define the city's architectural and cultural legacy and captivate millions of visitors every year.

世界上最独特的海滩？ The world's most exclusive beach?

“我爱你”沙滩，桑给巴尔，坦桑尼亚

Nakupenda 海滩自然保护区位于桑给巴尔西海岸外的一个小沙岛上。这个沙洲被印度洋碧绿的海水所环绕，是游客沐浴阳光和享受金色沙滩的热门目的地。在海浪之下，海洋生物创造了一个充满活力的海底世界，非常适合浮潜。坦桑尼亚的岛屿是奔巴角鸮和非洲鱼雕等一系列野生动物的家园。在 Nakupenda 以北，您可以在 Changuu 岛上遇到一个乌龟保护区，而他们的海龟表亲则在周围水域游泳。

Nakupenda Beach Nature Reserve, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Off the west coast of Zanzibar, the Nakupenda Beach Nature Reserve sits on a small, sandy island. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, this sand bar is a popular destination with tourists looking to soak up the sun's rays on its white sands. Plentiful marine life here creates a vibrant underwater world that is perfect for snorkeling. The islands of Tanzania are home to an array of wildlife like the Pemba scops owl and the African fish eagle. To the north of Nakupenda, there is a giant tortoise sanctuary on Changuu Island, while their sea turtle cousins swim in the surrounding waters.

一望无际的湛蓝 Blue as far as the eye can see

大堡礁，澳大利亚

澳大利亚的大堡礁是世界上最大的珊瑚礁，沿澳大利亚海岸蔓延1430英里。许多海洋生物生活在这个珊瑚礁生态系统中，包括鲸鱼、海豚、海龟以及1500多种鱼类。遗憾的是，这处世界自然遗产正受到气候变化、污染和过度捕捞的威胁。每年的六月一日是世界珊瑚礁日，旨在让人们意识到海洋珊瑚礁系统的脆弱性和重要性，提醒我们每一个人、每一个组织和企业保护这些宝藏、维持自然的平衡。

World Reef Awareness Day

The Great Barrier Reef runs for 1,430 miles along Australia's northeastern coast, providing a home for thousands of species, including more than 1,500 types of fish. Here, you'll find whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks, dugongs, and algae, all living together in a delicate ecosystem that relies on the coral reef. Sadly, climate change and pollution threaten this iconic site, the largest reef in the world. On June 1, we observe World Reef Awareness Day to remind people of the importance of safeguarding coral reefs, which provide food and shelter for about 25% of all marine life, to maintain the balance of nature.

宏伟的堡垒和宫殿

纳哈加尔城堡，拉贾斯坦邦，印度

纳哈加尔堡矗立于阿拉瓦利山脉的一座山脊上，为斋浦尔增添了一道雄伟而壮丽的背景。它始建于1734年，又于1868年经历了扩建。纳哈加尔，意为老虎的住所，如同强大的壁垒，保卫斋浦尔抵御敌人的攻击。

城堡内有印度王室成员的夏季度假宫殿，包含12间为王后准备的会客室，还有给国王准备的套房，这些房间通过走廊相连，走廊上装饰着精美壁画。如今，这里是非常受当地人欢迎的野餐目的地。夜间，这座堡垒在泛光灯的照耀下光彩夺目，与斋浦尔这座粉红之城交相辉映。

彩虹般的风景 An iridescent view

梯田，元阳，中国

元阳梯田风景壮丽，已被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。这些壮观的梯田位于中国云南省，总面积约17万亩，有1300多年的历史。成片的梯田沿着哀牢山缓缓延伸，色彩丰富、景观壮丽，是摄影爱好者的“天堂”。元阳县远离城市的喧嚣，游客们可以放心享受这里的宁静。在这里，依然可以感受到原住民哈尼族延续了数百年的文化，绚丽多彩的服饰、传统的房屋，以及在田间劳作的水牛，它们共同构成了一幅极其动人的彩绘版画。

Terraced rice fields, Yuanyang County, China

The Yuanyang rice terraces are a sight to behold and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in the Yunnan province in China, these spectacular terraced fields cover an area of more than 65 square miles and are more than 1,300 years old. The rice fields are carved along the original contour lines of the mountains, and their beautiful hues, eye-catching landscape, and gigantic size make them a marvel to look at and photograph. Nestled away from the ruckus of the city, Yuanyang County gives visitors a relaxing and tranquil setting to enjoy. The centuries-old culture of the indigenous Hani people is still very visible in this quiet space: Colorful outfits, traditional houses, and buffaloes working the fields complete the picture.

美丽清澈的河流

匆匆而逝的河流 The rivers run through us

World Rivers Day

On World Rivers Day, we honor what may be thought of as the queen of them all—the Amazon, which flows more than 4,000 miles mostly through the South American countries of Peru and Brazil. The Amazon discharges a whopping 58 million gallons of fresh water into the ocean every second, enough to fill 83 Olympic-sized swimming pools, far more water than any other river in the world. It accounts for 20% of all fresh water that flows into the world's seas and oceans. It's also the vital heart of the largest and most diverse rain forest in the world—the Amazon Rain Forest is home to a third of the world's animal species and its trees and plants pull billions of tons of heat-trapping carbon dioxide from the atmosphere each year, making it one of the Earth's best defenses against climate change.

Mark Angelo, a river conservationist from British Columbia, launched World Rivers Day in 2005 to recognize the importance of rivers to the survival of humanity and millions of species all over the world. Rivers are our best source of fresh water, they can be an important energy source, they're the foundations of complex ecosystems, and provide crucial sources of irrigation for our crops, among other contributions to our way of life. Besides, who doesn't love a float down a lazy river?

世界河流日

在世界河流日，我们向可能被认为是所有河流中的女王的亚马逊河致敬，该河流经4000多英里，主要流经南美国家秘鲁和巴西。亚马逊河每秒向海洋排放5800万加仑的淡水，足以填满83个奥运会规模的游泳池，远远超过世界上任何其他河流。它占流入世界海洋的所有淡水的20%。亚马逊雨林是世界上最大、种类最多的雨林的重要心脏，是世界三分之一动物物种的家园，其树木和植物每年从大气中吸收数十亿吨的吸热二氧化碳，使其成为地球抵御气候变化的最佳防御措施之一。

来自不列颠哥伦比亚省的河流保护主义者马克·安吉洛（Mark Angelo）于2005年发起了世界河流日活动，以认识到河流对全世界人类和数百万物种生存的重要性。河流是我们最好的淡水来源，它们可以是重要的能源，是复杂生态系统的基础，为我们的作物提供重要的灌溉资源，以及对我们生活方式的其他贡献。此外，谁不喜欢沿着懒惰的河流漂流？
