韩国内藏山国立公园的秋景

在韩国，很少有地方能像内藏山国立公园一样尽显秋日的魔力，这里的山坡闪耀着猩红、橙色、黄色和金色的绚丽光彩。公园位于韩国西南部，尤以鲜艳的枫叶色彩闻名，是韩国首屈一指的赏秋胜地之一。其名称意为“山中藏有许多秘密”，体现了这一地区丰富多样的景观。

内藏山的神仙峰海拔约2,500英尺，九座各具特色的山峰环绕着山谷。游客可以沿徒步小径穿过林地和山口，乘坐内藏山缆车则可从高处眺望色彩斑斓的山脊。公园内还有历史悠久的内藏寺和白羊寺，为这片景观增添了深厚的文化意蕴。

其他亮点还包括金城溪谷、道德瀑布和金仙瀑布。内藏山拥有约760种本土植物，除了备受赞誉的秋色外，还蕴藏着丰富的生物多样性，是一个四季都值得探索的目的地。

Autumn in Naejangsan National Park, South Korea

Few places in South Korea capture the magic of autumn quite like Naejangsan National Park, where mountainsides glow in brilliant shades of scarlet, orange, yellow, and gold. Located in the country's southwest, the park is particularly famous for its vivid maple colors, making it one of Korea's premier destinations for fall scenery. Its name, meaning 'many secrets in the mountains,' reflects the varied landscapes found throughout the region.

Naejangsan rises to about 2,500 feet at Sinseonbong Peak, with nine distinctive peaks surrounding its valleys. Visitors can follow hiking trails through woodlands and mountain passes, while the Naejangsan Cable Car offers elevated views of the colorful ridgelines. The park is also home to the historic temples of Naejangsa and Baegyangsa, adding a rich cultural dimension to the landscape.

Other highlights include Geumseongyegok Valley and the Dodeokpokpo and Geumseonpokpo waterfalls. With around 760 species of native plants, Naejangsan offers rich biodiversity beyond its celebrated autumn colors, making it a destination worth exploring in every season.

飞掠河面 Winging it over the river

越南顺化的阮潢桥

阮潢桥弥合了新旧之间的距离，为顺化的天际线增添了一道崭新的纽带。这座横跨越南香江的现代钢拱地标于2025年3月26日通车。其设计名为“鹤望天姥”，灵感源自当地传说和附近的天姥寺。

这座桥由芬兰桥梁建筑师安蒂·卡尔亚莱宁设计，钢拱的造型宛如仙鹤展开的双翼。V形桥墩令人联想到群鹤在河畔安然聚集。皇家黄色则向顺化在阮朝时期留下的皇城遗产致敬。

这种精巧设计延伸至人行道，那里设有64个阳伞状钢制装饰，与宫廷美学遥相呼应。夜幕降临后，变色LED灯照亮桥拱，营造出仙鹤展翅飞翔的景象。这里还有一段颇具转折意味的历史：顺化著名的长钱桥曾于1945年短暂使用过阮潢这一名称。这座桥将历史传承与现代工程融为一体，为顺化铺就了一条迈向未来的新路。

Nguyen Hoang Bridge, Hue, Vietnam

Bridging the gap between old and new, Nguyen Hoang Bridge gives Hue's skyline a fresh connection. Spanning the Perfume River in Vietnam, the modern steel-arch landmark opened to traffic on March 26, 2025. Its design, called 'The Crane Facing Thien Mu,' draws inspiration from a local legend and nearby Thien Mu Pagoda.

Designed by Finnish bridge architect Antti Karjalainen, the bridge features steel arches shaped like a crane's outstretched wings. Its V-shaped piers suggest cranes gathering peacefully beside the river. The royal-yellow color pays tribute to Hue's imperial heritage under the Nguyen dynasty.

The details continue along the pedestrian walkways, where 64 parasol-shaped steel ornaments echo the aesthetics of the royal court. After dark, color-changing LEDs illuminate the arches, creating the appearance of a crane in flight. There is a historical twist, too: Hue's famous Truong Tien Bridge briefly carried the Nguyen Hoang name in 1945. With its mix of heritage and modern engineering, this bridge gives Hue a new way to move forward.

水上通衢 The road that runs on water

威尼斯大运河，意大利

如果一座城市最繁忙的街道根本没有路，会是什么样？在意大利威尼斯，交通沿着大运河往来。这条长2.4英里的水道以巨大的反S形蜿蜒穿过城市。当地人称它为“大运河”，它是威尼斯主要的水上交通通道，水上巴士、水上出租车、贡多拉、警用艇和其他船只都在此穿行。大运河沿着一条古河道延伸，这条河过去曾流入威尼斯潟湖。

大运河两岸分布着近170座历史建筑，其中许多由富裕的威尼斯家族在13至18世纪建造。宫殿和住宅直接从水边拔地而起，使大运河沿岸几乎没有空间修建传统人行道。

尽管大运河十分重要，横跨其上的桥梁却只有四座：里亚托桥、赤足桥、宪法桥和学院桥。几个世纪以来，乘船一直是横渡大运河的主要方式。如今，沿河而行，可以在流动的视野中欣赏威尼斯的建筑与历史。在这里，就连堵船时也有美景相伴——还有贡多拉船夫。

Grand Canal in Venice, Italy

What if a city's busiest street had no road? In Venice, Italy, traffic flows along the Grand Canal, a 2.4-mile waterway that winds through the city in a giant reverse S-shape. Known to locals as the Canalazzo, it is Venice's main water-traffic corridor, carrying vaporetti, water taxis, gondolas, police boats, and other vessels. The canal follows the course of an ancient river that once flowed into the Venetian Lagoon.

Nearly 170 historic buildings line its banks, many built by wealthy Venetian families between the 13th and 18th centuries. With palaces and houses rising directly from the water, the Grand Canal has little room for conventional sidewalks.

Despite its importance, only four bridges cross it: Rialto, Scalzi, Constitution, and Accademia. For centuries, boats were the main way to cross. Today, a journey along the canal offers a moving look at Venice's architecture and history. Here, even a traffic jam comes with a view—and a gondolier.

75载，风华正茂 75 and thriving

威尔士斯诺登尼亚国家公园迎来75周年

如果公园也能写生日手记，威尔士斯诺登尼亚国家公园一定有许多精彩故事可讲。今天是这座公园成立75周年，纪念它于1951年获指定为国家公园。斯诺登尼亚占地823平方英里，拥有九条山脉和74英里海岸线，栖息地类型从泥炭地、原生林地到高地景观不一而足。斯诺登山海拔超过3,500英尺，是斯诺登尼亚的最高点。附近的卡内道山脉和格利德赖山脉群峰耸立，卡代尔伊德里斯山则矗立在南部。这些受保护的景观为野生动物提供了栖息地，其中包括17处国家级自然保护区和56处特殊科学价值地点。

斯诺登尼亚的故事并不只有自然风光，多巴达恩城堡还为其增添了中世纪篇章。这座城堡由卢埃林大帝于13世纪建造，曾守卫穿越兰贝里斯山口的通道，后来还被用作关押一位威尔士亲王的监狱。高50英尺的圆塔至今仍是城堡最具辨识度的特色，俯瞰着附近的林帕达恩湖。

Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) in Wales turns 75

If parks could keep birthday diaries, Eryri National Park (Snowdonia) in Wales would have quite the story to tell. The park turns 75 today, marking the anniversary of its designation in 1951. Eryri stretches across 823 square miles, with nine mountain ranges, 74 miles of coastline, and habitats ranging from peatlands and native woodlands to upland landscapes. At more than 3,500 feet, Yr Wyddfa is Eryri's highest point. Nearby, the Carneddau and Glyderau add their own peaks, while Cadair Idris rises in the south. These protected landscapes provide habitats for wildlife and include 17 National Nature Reserves and 56 Sites of Special Scientific Interest.

And Eryri's story isn't just about nature. Dolbadarn Castle adds a medieval chapter. Built during the 13th century by Llywelyn the Great, the castle guarded the route through Llanberis Pass and later served as a prison for a Welsh prince. Its round tower, standing 50 feet tall, remains its most recognizable feature, overlooking nearby Llyn Padarn.

一窥科罗拉多群峰 'Peak' into Colorado

圣胡安山脉中的斯奈费尔斯山，科罗拉多州

有些山会让你付出一番努力才能欣赏到美景，而攀登斯奈费尔斯山，最考验人的则是最后几百英尺。它高耸于科罗拉多州的圣胡安山脉，海拔14,150英尺，是一座“十四峰”，在里奇韦、乌雷和特柳赖德一带十分醒目。它坐落在占地16,587英亩的斯奈费尔斯山荒野区内，这片保护区于1980年获指定。徒步者可以从多条路线登山，包括经扬基博伊盆地和蓝湖群地区的路线。

这座山本身在地质构造上独具特色：与附近许多山峰不同，斯奈费尔斯山主要由侵入较古老火山沉积层的火成岩体构成。山峰西侧下方，蓝湖群散布在一处深邃的高山盆地中，为人们体验这一地区提供了另一种方式。山峰还高出林线，那里的地貌明显更加开阔，岩石也更多。要留意天空，因为山区天气总爱上演意想不到的转折。请查看天气预报并尽早出发，同时携带保暖衣物、水和适合当时天气状况的装备。

Mount Sneffels in the San Juan Mountains near Ridgway, Colorado

Some mountains make you work for the view. Mount Sneffels makes you work for the last few hundred feet. Rising to 14,150 feet in Colorado's San Juan Mountains, this fourteener is a familiar sight around Ridgway, Ouray, and Telluride. It sits within the 16,587-acre Mount Sneffels Wilderness, a protected area designated in 1980. Hikers can reach the mountain from several approaches, including the Yankee Boy Basin and the Blue Lakes area.

The mountain itself is geologically distinctive: unlike many of its nearby peaks, Mount Sneffels is largely made of an intrusion of igneous rock that pushed into older volcanic deposits. Below its western flank, Blue Lakes fill a deep alpine basin and offer another way to experience the area. The peak also rises above the tree line, where the landscape becomes noticeably more exposed and rocky. Keep an eye on the sky because mountain weather loves a plot twist. Check the forecast and start early, and bring layers, water, and the right gear for the conditions.

桥梁、屋顶与暮色 Bridges, rooftops, and twilight

从波兰弗罗茨瓦夫女巫桥看到的集市广场

暮色降临弗罗茨瓦夫，金色光芒洒满屋顶、教堂塔楼和中欧最引人注目的历史中心之一。这座位于波兰西南部的城市横跨多座岛屿和水道，由100多座桥梁连接，将中世纪建筑与充满活力的现代生活融为一体。城市中心是热闹的雷内克(Rynek)集市广场，该广场建于13世纪，哥特式老市政厅便坐落于此，它是弗罗茨瓦夫最易辨认的地标之一。

今日的景色拍摄于女巫桥，这座桥又称忏悔者之桥，是一座连接圣玛丽·抹大拉教堂双塔的人行桥。桥悬于距地面约148英尺的高处，从这里可以尽览老城区色彩缤纷的建筑立面、蜿蜒的街道和下方熙熙攘攘的集市广场。从拥有数百年历史的教堂和河畔步道，到博物馆与咖啡馆，弗罗茨瓦夫处处都能让游客有新发现。日落后，历史中心在夜空下熠熠生辉，这座城市显得格外迷人。

Market Square from the Witches' Bridge, Wroclaw, Poland

As twilight settles over Wroclaw, golden light spills across rooftops, church towers, and one of Central Europe's most striking historic centers. This southwestern Polish city spans islands and waterways linked by more than 100 bridges, blending medieval architecture with vibrant modern life. At its heart is Rynek, a lively Market Square established in the 13th century and home to the Gothic Old Town Hall, one of Wroclaw's most recognizable landmarks.

Today's view was captured from the Witches' Bridge, also known as the Bridge of the Penitents, a footbridge connecting the towers of St. Mary Magdalene Church. Suspended about 148 feet above the ground, it offers sweeping views of the Old Town's colorful facades, winding streets, and the bustling Market Square below. From centuries-old churches and riverside promenades to museums and cafés, Wroclaw rewards visitors with something new at every turn. After sunset, the city is especially enchanting as its historic center glows beneath the evening sky.

蓝与绿的交响曲 A symphony in blue and green

克罗地亚普利特维采湖群国家公园

在克罗地亚的普利特维采湖群国家公园，水似乎无处不在。十六个阶梯状湖泊由瀑布、溪流和层叠而下的水流组成的网络连接起来，蜿蜒穿过森林覆盖的石灰岩峡谷。湖水的颜色不断变化，从翠绿到深蓝不等，这是由矿物质、阳光和不断变化的倒影共同造就的。普利特维采湖群国家公园成立于1949年，是克罗地亚历史最悠久、面积最大的国家公园。这里以石灰华屏障闻名，这种天然石灰岩构造是富含矿物质的水在数百年间沉积碳酸钙形成的。这些屏障仍在继续生长和变化，逐渐改变着公园内的瀑布和湖泊。

普利特维采湖群国家公园于1979年被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录，保护着欧洲最非凡的淡水生态系统之一。木栈道在水面上纵横交错，让游客得以近距离观赏层叠的瀑布、宁静的水潭和森林覆盖的湖岸；在这里，大自然仍在不断重塑景观。湖泊、瀑布和林地在此汇聚成一幅近乎超凡脱俗的景象。

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

Water seems to be everywhere at Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia. Sixteen terraced lakes are linked by a network of waterfalls, streams, and cascades that wind through forested limestone canyons. The constantly changing colors of the water, ranging from emerald green to deep blue, are shaped by minerals, sunlight, and ever-changing reflections. Established in 1949, Plitvice Lakes is Croatia's oldest and largest national park. The landscape is famous for its tufa barriers, natural limestone formations created as mineral-rich water deposits calcium carbonate over centuries. These barriers continue to grow and change, gradually transforming the park's waterfalls and lakes.

Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, Plitvice protects one of Europe's most remarkable freshwater ecosystems. Wooden walkways weave across the water, bringing visitors close to cascades, tranquil pools, and forested shores where nature continues to reshape the landscape. Here, lakes, waterfalls, and woodlands come together in a scene that feels almost otherworldly.

从铁轨到潮汐 From tracks to tides

曼布尔斯码头，斯旺西，威尔士

当铁路、救生艇站和海滨一日游在水边相遇，会得到什么？答案是曼布尔斯码头。这座维多利亚时代的地标向斯旺西湾延伸255米，于1898年5月10日开放，自此一直是威尔士海岸的一部分。

这座码头曾是斯旺西和曼布尔斯铁路的西端终点站，该铁路被誉为世界上第一条提供定期客运服务的铁路。如今，铁路已经消失，但这座被列为二级保护建筑的码头依然存在，是威尔士仅存的六座铁制海滨码头之一。它也是英国仍在运营的少数私人所有码头之一。附近还有一个苹果形状的售货亭“大苹果”，为当地增添了又一处别具一格的地标。

一个RNLI救生艇站已在这里运营了一个多世纪，而这一地区也铭记着1947年曼布尔斯救生艇灾难的悲剧。125年多过去了，曼布尔斯码头依然魅力十足。

秋色中转动的水轮 Where autumn turns the wheel

格莱德溪磨坊，巴布科克州立公园，美国

格莱德溪磨坊坐落在西弗吉尼亚州巴布科克州立公园内格莱德溪的岩石水域上方，周围红色、橙色和金色交错。尽管它看起来像是拓荒时代的遗迹，但这座磨坊实际上是为致敬阿巴拉契亚地区的磨坊传统而精心建造的。

这座磨坊于1976年建成，使用了从曾经散布在西弗吉尼亚州各地的数座历史悠久的谷物磨坊中抢救出来的部件，将该州乡村历史的片段汇聚在一座仍在运转的建筑中。格莱德溪的溪水至今仍推动水轮，并为传统谷物研磨演示提供动力，让游客得以一窥曾经遍及阿巴拉契亚山脉的一种生活方式。

这座磨坊或许是公园最具辨识度的地标，但它只是整个故事的一部分。每到秋季，巴布科克州立公园的森林便化作绚丽色彩的拼图，为瀑布、岩石遍布的溪床和绵延数英里的徒步小径勾勒出边框。这里的景观与磨坊共同构成了阿巴拉契亚历史、工艺和自然之美的恒久象征。

Glade Creek Grist Mill, Babcock State Park, West Virginia

Surrounded by a patchwork of red, orange, and gold, Glade Creek Grist Mill stands above the rocky waters of Glade Creek in West Virginia's Babcock State Park. Although it looks like a relic from the pioneer era, the mill is actually a carefully crafted tribute to Appalachia's milling heritage.

Completed in 1976, the mill was built using parts salvaged from several historic gristmills once scattered across West Virginia, bringing together pieces of the state's rural past in a single working structure. Water from Glade Creek still turns the wheel and powers traditional grain-grinding demonstrations, offering visitors a glimpse into a way of life once common throughout the Appalachian Mountains.

The mill may be the park's most recognizable landmark, but it is only part of the story. Each autumn, Babcock State Park's forests transform into a mosaic of brilliant color, framing waterfalls, rocky streambeds, and miles of hiking trails. Together, the landscape and mill create an enduring symbol of Appalachian history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.

迁飞路线上的生命 Life along the flyway

世界候鸟日

世界候鸟日旨在庆祝大自然最壮观的旅程之一。这项全球性活动于每年5月和10月举行，反映世界各地的迁徙模式，并强调保护鸟类赖以生存的栖息地和迁飞路线的重要性。“每一只鸟都很重要——您的观察至关重要！”是2026年的主题，着重说明个人和社区的观察可以如何为鸟类研究、监测和保护贡献力量，帮助科学家更好地了解迁徙。

今天的图片捕捉到了双冠鸬鹚飞越加利福尼亚州蒙特雷湾海浪上空的景象。这些适应力强的海鸟广泛分布于北美洲，可能迁徙，也可能全年留在原地，具体取决于种群。沿着加利福尼亚州海岸，海湾、湿地和河口为沿太平洋迁飞路线飞行的鸟类提供了重要栖息地。对许多物种而言，这些生态系统为跨越漫长距离的旅程提供支持。每一次目击都有助于揭示这些迁徙，并提醒我们，即使只是一只鸟，也可能是一个宏大得多的故事的一部分。

World Migratory Bird Day

World Migratory Bird Day celebrates one of nature's greatest journeys. Observed each year in May and October, the global campaign reflects migration patterns around the world and highlights the importance of protecting the habitats and flyways that birds depend on. 'Every Bird Counts—Your Observations Matter!' is the 2026 theme, emphasizing how observations by individuals and communities can contribute to bird research, monitoring, and conservation, helping scientists better understand migration.

Today's image captures double-crested cormorants flying above the waves of Monterey Bay, California. Widespread across North America, these adaptable seabirds may migrate or remain year-round, depending on the population. Along California's coast, bays, wetlands, and estuaries provide important habitat for birds traveling the Pacific Flyway. For many species, these ecosystems support journeys spanning vast distances. Each sighting helps reveal these migrations and reminds us that even a single bird can be part of a much larger story.
