新化草原 / Grasslands in Hsin-Hua

偶然在網路上看到這個地方，離台南市又不遠，於是就跑去找了。新化草原在虎頭埤附近，小徑一堆，花了一些時間才找到。
I found this place over Internet. It's not far away Tainan City and near Hu-Tou Pei Scenic Are. However, only a few people know how to go there.




新化草原大部分都位於軍事管制區，是實彈演習場地，所以管制區深鎖的時候，愛惜自己生命，麻煩大家就不要再闖了。而也許是因為演習，部分管制區內的草原被燒成焦黑，但是位於管制區內，就沒有拍了。
Most of Hsin-Hua Grasslands are in a military restricted zone. Live ammunition may be used during maneuvers in the area. Beware of the announcement!




在此呼籲大家有點公德心，使用原有道路，不要如照片中的人。還有一些騎腳踏車的車友，不要亂闖大門深鎖的管制區。

台南二寮日出 / Sunrise in Erliao, Tainan

二寮是南部著名觀賞日出的景點，位於台南縣龍崎鄉，本身位於南北走向低矮的丘陵上，朝東和台南另一著名景點 308 高地對望，岡林溪和草山溪貫穿其中。在兩者之間的低地則是由古亭坑層所構成的惡地地形，但擁有比高雄月世界更茂密的植披。

Erliao is a famous place for it's sunrise. It is located on the west of 308 high and in the meridional direction. Between Erliao and 308 high is a lower badlands composed of mud. There is also two rivers flow through badlands.



↑二寮東望 308 高地。 The 308 high.


也許是此特殊的條件，造成在雨後數天內，低地在清晨時會的山巒層疊、雲霧飄邈的美景，宛如國畫中的夢幻世界。若又碰上可遇不可求的雲層條件，則日出時將是雲霧飄邈，光芒四射，空中點綴著一片片亮麗的雲彩。只可惜迄今本人還沒碰過如此大景。

The sunrise of Erliao has a unusual scene on the conditions of a few days after the rain stopped. The sunlight pass through the fog and create incredible beams. If there are some beautiful clouds in sky, you will see a fairy world. Unfortunately, I have never seen it.



↑水氣和雲層過多時的二寮日出。Too much water.


↑雲沒有顏色。The clouds lack color.




↑色溫隨著時間改變。As the sun rose the color changed.


↑光芒四射。Beams.

Fireworks in Orthodox Lu-Erh-Men Sheng Mu Miao on the Lantern Festival / 鹿耳門聖母廟煙火

感覺好像在拍某大明星一樣，在 DSLR 普及化前，不知是否就是如此？　
It looks like someone important is coming. Did it happen before the DSLR become popular?



出乎意料之外的煙火！竟然從橋上發射。
Opps! The first shoot is in front of the temple.




真的遊戲開始了！
The show begin.



這是我最喜歡的一張。雖然煙火被切，但是我覺得畫面很協調。
This is my favorite one.



煙火發射的位置一直變來變去，很多畫面就此流逝。
There are two sides. Sometimes come from right, sometimes left and sometimes both.

台南夜景:海安路 Nightspot in Tainan, Taiwan. Part III.

海安路，一條曾經繁榮一時的古街，如今逐漸凋零。
Hai-An Street, an old street. It once was the most prosperous street in Tainan. The legend say it was protected by a dragon. (The dragon is a holy animal in Chinese culture.)

在改建地下街的過程中，它喪失他的魅力。
The process of building an underground street withered the Hai-An.

市政府希望藉由美化，帶回神龍。
Now, the city government try to bring the dragon back.

海安路在哪？
The word means "Where is it?".



美化的一部分，帶來不同的氣息。
A part of beautification. The most part of beautification is between Mincyuon Rd. and Fucian Rd. .


牆，在訴說它的過去。
The old wall tell us a old story.


和它交會的老街。

善用長曝，圓環也可以有些創意。
