主题:【原创】苏格兰之行第一天,Edinburgh -- flyingfox
小弟不才,在英国留学一年因为时间紧张还有经费预算等等问题始终欧洲之行也未能如愿,但是英国国内环岛游倒是进行了两次。
和朋友一起拍下了不少照片,自认为感觉还好,不敢独享,与众摄影大大分享。现在小弟也是个小小的摄影爱好者,有什么意见还请各位不吝赐教。
我们一行从伦敦出发做MEGA巴士前往苏格兰首府爱丁堡,去的时候正好MEGA BUS在搞活动,有Scotland Explor,35镑12天内苏格兰城际公交免费,相当划算。
我们坐的是夜班车,到达爱丁堡车站的时候已经是黎明了
车站外很有结构感的天桥
清晨的爱丁堡,空气清新,冰冷
高处俯瞰市中心的铁路
街拍
这就是爱丁堡城堡了
正好遇见报时的炮声
城堡最顶端的Chapel里面,穹顶和石柱
傍晚的景色
苏格兰自然不能少了风笛
爱丁堡夜景
不知道里面有没有什么典故?
我看了你另外一组照片,对里面的朝阳还是夕阳的红色印象特别深。那个红色真是很亲切。
好像并没有什么典故……只是个自古以来的报时习惯
The original gun was an 18-pound muzzle loading cannon, which needed four men to load, and was fired from the Half Moon Battery. This was replaced in 1913 by a 32-pound breech loader, and in May 1952 by a 25-pound Howitzer. The present One O'Clock Gun is a L118 Light Gun, brought into service on 30 November 2001.
The Gun is now fired from Mill's Mount Battery, on the north face of the Castle, by the District Gunner from 105th Regiment Royal Artillery (Volunteers). Although the gun is no longer required for its original purpose, the ceremony has become a popular tourist attraction, and is also fired to mark the arrival of the New Year as part of Edinburgh's Hogmanay celebrations. The longest-serving District Gunner, Staff Sergeant Thomas McKay MBE, nicknamed "Tam the Gun", fired the One O'Clock Gun from 1979 until his death in 2005. McKay established the One O'Clock Gun Association, which opened a small exhibition at Mill's Mount.
从爱丁堡去威廉堡依然是坐MEGA BUS。
一路上阅尽了苏格兰的小镇和高地的风光
当然还有羊……
当年的威廉古堡已经成为了一片废墟……
那个古堡和Puerto Rico的一个古堡布局好类似。
