Birds in Vancouver-Vol.08 温哥华鸟类-Vol.08

Burnaby Lake was created by a glacier 12,000 years ago. Traditionally a critically important site for Coast Salish gathering, processing and transportation activities, a century ago its shores were home to bustling sawmills. Today, it became a perfect place for spotting wildlife.

本拿比湖由12000年前的冰川形成。传统上,这里是海岸Salish人采集、加工和运输活动的重要场所。一个世纪前,湖岸曾是熙熙攘攘的锯木厂所在地。如今,这里已成为观赏野生动物的绝佳地点。

Animals in Vancouver (Marmot)-Vol.02 温哥华动物 (土拨鼠)

Marmots in Tsawwassen are Yellow-bellied Marmots. Specifically, they are known to be "hitchhiking" marmots, sometimes stowing away in vehicles and being transported to the Vancouver area.

Tsawwassen的土拨鼠是黄腹土拨鼠。具体来说,它们以 “搭便车” 而闻名,有时会偷偷藏在车里,被运送到温哥华地区。

Birds in Vancouver (Heron Habitat)-Vol.07温哥华鸟类 (大蓝鹭栖息地)

At the end of May, next to the parking lot entrance of Tsawwassen Causeway Beach, there was a large colony of great blue herons, with dozens or even hundreds of birds breeding chicks. The scene was like the living environment of pterosaurs in paleontological documentaries.

5月末,在Tsawwassen Causeway Beach的停车场入口旁边,有一大片大蓝鹭的栖息地,密密麻麻的几十上百只鸟都在这里繁殖幼鸟。场面颇具古生物纪录片中翼龙生活环境的氛围。

Seaside of Vancouver (Seawall with B&W film)-Vol.03 温哥华海滨景观(黑白胶片下的海边步道)

Vancouver is a coastal city with many seaside landscapes, including sandy beaches, rocky beaches, harbors, etc. This topic focuses on those landscapes.

Seawall connects all significant views around downtown Vancouver. I walked from Coal Harbor to Sunset Beach with my film camera, there are a few of my favourite works from this walking.

温哥华(Vancouver)是一个沿海城市,有诸多的海滨景观,包括沙滩、礁石滩、港口码头等等,此专题专注于类似风景。

海边步道(Seawall) 连接温哥华市中心的多个知名旅游景点,我此次携带胶片机从Coal Harbor一路走到Sunset Beach,精选出几张个人还算满意的作品。
