#128 Visit Australia Zoo with Me (1) “鳄鱼猎人之家” - 澳洲动物园(一)

##
Hey my Steemit friends, today I’m going to show you wallabies and 2 kinds of kangaroos from Australia Zoo, and give a bit introduction of its legendary owner family.

大家好,今天请跟我一起来看看澳洲动物园的传奇已故主人和他家的几种袋鼠~

这个动物园在澳洲大名鼎鼎,被称作“鳄鱼猎人之家”,因为创立者的儿子 – 动物保护主义者史蒂夫·欧文曾和妻子主持纪录片《鳄鱼猎人》而闻名天下。我也看过他的纪录片,很有意思的一位冒险家,常常带着老婆和一儿一女一起出动,为保护野生动物奔走呼号。他们一家人对野生动物的热爱溢于言表,对周围的人还有电视机前的吃瓜群众也有很强的感染力。可惜的是,他2006年在澳大利亚昆士兰州录制水下纪录片时,被一条黄貂鱼的背棘刺中胸部,不幸中毒身亡,而他所拍的那部片子名为《致命的海洋生物》。年仅44岁,却就此在自己热爱的领域永远告别了他挚爱的家人和野生动物们。

现在他的遗孀继续管理动物园,他的儿女也逐渐成为投身动物保护事业的新秀。儿子还是很棒的少年摄影师,我在他的动物摄影展流连忘返,还买了他作品的年历(下面有图有真相),现在就站在书桌上。这个摄影展我会专门开个帖子再聊一下。园中还展出了很多他和家人在野外和动物相处的照片影像资料,我会在以后的博文里继续介绍。

This zoo is known as Home of The Crocodile Hunter:

From the billboard below you see the photo of Steve Irwin, a household name in Australia and many other parts across the globe. Irwin and his wife Terri achieved worldwide fame by hosting the internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series – The Crocodile Hunter (1996–2007). I watched a few episodes and found him fun and adventurous. And his passion in protecting wildlife is contagious. But sadly, he died in 2006 after being pierced in the heart by a stingray barb, and “Ocean’s Deadliest” was the underwater documentary he was filming.

His parents founded the Australia Zoo in Beerwah, a town situated north of Glass House Mountains (I blogged about these amazing mountains here), pretty close to where I lived. So it’s made a great weekend visit from home. :)

下图中可以看到别称“鳄鱼猎人”的史蒂夫·欧文的照片。他父母在Beerwah这个小镇建起了澳洲动物园,就在玻璃屋土著群山的北边,离我澳洲的住处不远,所以找了个周末去一探究竟。

##
Inside the zoo, there were plenty of photos and other materials displayed, telling their adventure stories and efforts in wildlife conservation. I’d love to show you some in my coming posts. Though Steve’s son Robert Irwin is pretty young, he is a great photographer. I was impressed by his awesome photo works in the exhibition room, and this calendar is standing on my desk right now:

IMG_2489.JPG



There’s a lot to see and to do in this zoo, such as watching the shows of feeding giant tortoises and otters, patting koalas… and of course, the most famous attraction is the Wildlife Warriors Show! I surely got my adrenaline pumping as I watched a massive croc launching a strike from the water’s edge. But let’s start from some milder ones first:

动物园里有很多动物我这是废话吗😆,而最有名气的看点要数“鳄鱼捕食秀”,场面非常紧张刺激,看得我肾上腺素狂飙。我想想这第一帖还是从比较温和的袋鼠们开始吧,以后再说凶残的鳄鱼~

##
Wallabies and kangaroos are similar marsupials that belong to the same family, but wallabies are generally smaller than kangaroos with shorter legs and a more varied color pattern.

##
我们先来看看小袋鼠。这里的“小”不是我一时兴起瞎加上的,而是它的名字真的叫“小袋鼠”,英文是“wallaby”,跟袋鼠“kangaroo”同属于哺乳纲的有袋类动物,但体型一般比(大)袋鼠小很多,毛色也更丰富。

I once wrote about one wild wallaby standing in the middle of the road in a forest:

曾经有一篇写到过一只站在大森林里的马路中间张望的小袋鼠:

Now it’s Eastern Grey Roo’s turn.

Here’s something I found a bit weird (or creative? I love Aussies, haha) – kangaroo balls as souvenirs: 😅
自从在纪念品店看到这些袋鼠阴囊做成的小玩意儿后,我就再也无法直视袋鼠男们晃悠悠的蛋蛋:

At last, a serious red kangaroo:”No one’s gonna grab my food!”
最后,来张威武的红袋鼠: “谁也别想抢走我的小吃~”

#127 Cook with Donica - Fish with Pickled Cabbage 👩‍🍳🍲一起来做酸菜鱼【CN美食大赛#1🐟】

Hey fellow Steemians, in this post I want to share with you a recipe – fish with pickled cabbage and chilli. It is originally from Chongqing, China as part of the Szechuan cuisine. And today it’s getting very popular across the country, as it is easy to cook and is super tasty! Plus fish is something healthy that won’t make you feel too guilty.

I love this dish and cooked it plenty of times before. On this past Sunday I made it again. Like always, it turned out to be divine, or a devil if you can’t handle the hotness. ;) But of course you don’t have to add so many chilies like I did. Save your tongue, save your life.

大家好,今天我来分享一下上周日刚烧的酸菜鱼做法,正好参加@abcallen主办的CN区美食大赛#1🐟

我从小酷爱吃鱼,可能起源于我爸酷爱钓鱼。家人总是跟那时还是小小多的我说吃鱼的孩子会聪明,希望这是真的。

😁不知道是谁发明了酸菜鱼,我的内心充满感激。鱼肉鲜嫩,酸菜爽口,回味无穷,一碗在手,别无他求。

这道起源于重庆的渝派川菜,如今已经风靡全中国和海外华人圈。做法据说有多种,主要原料为鱼(以草鱼或鲤鱼居多)、酸菜(这里用的是四川泡菜,而非东北酸菜)、泡椒、干辣椒等。

这次我做的酸菜鱼是就地取材,不知道是否正宗,但做法很简单快捷。一起来看看喽~

##

#126 Venice at Sunset 🇮🇹 暮色中的威尼斯

Venice.JPG

##
Hey fellow Steemians! Hope you had a great weekend? Today I’m sharing 2 photos I took in the famous water town – Venice of Italy at golden hour. The black-and-white image is my entry for the 7 DAYS STEEMIT B&W URBAN PHOTOGRAPHY CONTEST by @flamingirl.

The picture was clicked from the grand canal, with a view of the Cathedral of Santa Maria della Salute. The canal area was full of life with constant hustle and bustle. But all these turned into a peaceful scene when the setting sun started to cast a warm spell over everything. I loved watching all the boats and gondolas swaying in the water, passing by those wonderful architectures at the shore.

In the colored photo, you can see the orange-hued domes and buildings, against the pinkish sky and by the blueish water; while in the monochrome one, the structure and lines of the buildings & boats, as well as the contrast of the shades & shapes are more prominent. Which one do you prefer? Tell me what you think in the comments below! =)

Venicebw.jpg



大家好!今天分享的照片是我在意大利的水城威尼斯拍摄的。

夕阳的金辉中,圆顶的安康圣母教堂,携着高高低低的楼房,静静矗立在运河边,和我一起望着水中来来往往的船只。橙黄色调的巴洛克杰作,错落在粉蓝的天空下,倚着那藏青的一湾流水,画面太美,我不敢不拍。

而当这一切转变为黑白,建筑的结构和线条、层次的对比、明暗的变化,都更加清晰起来。

你更喜欢彩色的还是单色的呢?欢迎留言分享~ : )



There’s plagiarism in the past contests, so as required by the hostess, here’s the proof of my camera settings and a photo of me by the canal:

因为曾有剽窃他人摄影作品的行为,应主办人要求,下面是我的相机设置和在场证明摆拍太明显^^

#125 Streets of the Basque Capital (2) 🇪🇸 巴斯克首府街头(二)

Vitoria (22).JPG.JPG)

##
I found this beautiful street mural in the city of Vitoria Gasteiz during my road trip to northern Spain. The painting spreads over the whole wall and blends perfectly with the windows, the flower pots and the electrical cabinet in front. I also like how the artist handled the details of the fabric. You see all the creases and even the letters on the small tag. It must have cost a lot of time and it required great skills to create this piece of artwork.

In fact, I never heard of this capital city of the Basque country before, but it turned out to be a huge gem. It was awarded the title of European Green Capital in 2012 and it is consistently ranked as one of the 5 best places to live in Spain. Wandering through the city, I was amazed by this multicultural place with a wide variety of architectures and the stunning street art in many corners of the city.

##
大家好,接着上篇贴文,我继续带你们来看西班牙北部巴斯克地区首府的街头。以前并没有听说过维多利亚这座城市,来了才发现原来这座欧洲的绿色之都充满惊喜,街头处处是风格各异的建筑,鳞次栉比,和谐共存。遍布街巷的那些栩栩如生的壁画涂鸦也很让人惊叹。

题图里这副壁画有着逼真的细节,连布料的褶皱阴影和标签上的小字都看得一清二楚。整幅画的颜色也和几扇窗户、窗台上的鲜花、还有前面的电控箱无缝对接。这么一幅巨作该是花费了不少时间和精力才得以完工,也需要娴熟的绘画技巧,来之不易。

Vitoria (33).JPG.JPG)

The statue you see here is Celedón, a traditional character who kicks off the festivities in honor of the White Virgin from August 4th to 9th each year.

The “Bajada de Celedón” was created in 1957 by a group of young people from the city of Vitoria Gasteiz. The figure descends from the tower of the San Miguel Church to a balcony in the Virgen Blanca Square. From there, he comes out as a human in order to go through the crowds up to the “balconada”(a row of balconies), where he invites everyone to join the fun festivities. Later at night of August 9th, Celedón returns to the tower of the church. He waves farewell to the public and will come back in the following year.

#124 Streets of the Basque Capital (1) 巴斯克首府街头(一)| 摄影月旦评

Hello fellow Steemians, in this post and the following ones, I’m going to show you some parts of Vitoria Gasteiz. It is the capital city of the Basque Autonomous Community in northern Spain.

各位周末好~ 在这几篇帖子里,请跟我一起来看看西班牙巴斯克自治区的首府 – 维多利亚市的几处街头景象。对,巴斯克就是北边老是闹独立的那块地方~

Like many non-European tourists, except for those famous Spanish destinations like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Granada and some islands, I only knew Bilbao and San Sebastián in this part of Spain. I never heard of Vitoria Gasteiz until my road trip to northern Spain, and it turned out to be a huge gem. It was awarded the title of European Green Capital in 2012 and it is consistently ranked as one of the 5 best places to live in Spain.

维多利亚市在国际游客当中没什么名气,却连年被评为西班牙最适合居住的五大城市,还是2012年的“欧洲绿色之都”。我去西班牙北部之前也根本没听过这个地方,除了全国那些个耳熟能详的大城市,北部我也只知道美食之都圣塞巴斯蒂安和古根海姆博物馆所在地毕尔巴鄂。这次去了才发现,这维多利亚原来还真是块宝地呢。这篇先发几张街头摄影,后续会更详细地介绍这座城市。

I witnessed these kids playing on the iron bench with the poor statue, and captured the scene with my camera. I found it pretty amusing - the statue’s serious face versus the kids’ having fun. =) You can’t expect naughty children to behave like adults - sitting next to the statue on the bench. Are they being creative by sitting on his shoulder or are they just damaging public properties? What do you think? :)

##

我很喜欢抓拍街头的小孩子,因为儿童一般比较活泼,会呈现很多生动有趣的瞬间。我从这条街走过时,看到这尊可怜的雕像被几个小孩轮番折磨,他那紧锁眉头却又无可奈何的样子和孩子们的开心快活形成有意思的对比,让人忍俊不禁。不知道我是该夸奖他们坐得高看得远的创意、不走寻常路的思维,还是应该声讨他们破坏公共财物的无礼行为呢?你怎么看?欢迎留言分享喔!



Here are some more street shots from the same city:
下面还有几张这个城市的街头随拍:

如果当时有三脚架,可能会考虑让这姑娘两边的人流迅速穿梭一下~

Feels like paparazzi when shooting this one ;)

下面这张是不是有种狗仔抓拍明星的既视感? ;) 我很钦佩这些上了年纪依旧精心打扮的人们,虽然我自己常常是素面朝天、休闲舒服地就出了门,除非心血来潮或重要场合,一般懒得花时间多加修饰。我不是提倡妆容精致或穿着得体,而是欣赏他们浑身上下散发出来的不放弃人生的那股正能量~ :)

最后一张是我在市中心广场看到的草皮做成的维多利亚市名,估计是因为“欧洲绿色之都”的美名吧。下一篇中会奉上更多这座独特巴斯克首府的照片~ :)

#123 A Russian Folk Song Covered by Us + My Trans-Siberian Journey (2) 🚂 - Boat Tour on the Moscow River 🇷🇺 合唱《莫斯科郊外的晚上》+ 泛舟莫斯科河


What’s up fellow Steemians! In this post I’m moving on with my trans-Siberian journey. First, I’ll present a Russian folk song another Steemian and I recorded in Mandarin. Click on the head image to listen on @dsound or listen from IPFS at the end of this post. Can you guess which voice is mine? :) It’s loosely translated as “Moscow Evenings/Nights”, a Russian song yet better known outside Russia. It is particularly popular in mainland China during the Communist era when cultural exchanges with the Soviet Union were strong.

@aaronli主办的A City a Story活动本周的主题是“宁静”,这让我想起那次泛舟宁静的莫斯科河。这也是我穿越西伯利亚之旅的第一站莫斯科游览的一部分。因为这次足球世界杯举办地的缘故,上个月我开始了“西伯利亚之旅”的连载 刚翻了一下,上一篇发表还是世界杯刚开始的时候,哈哈😅……

先奉上一首宁静舒缓的俄罗斯老歌 – 我和@winniex合唱的《莫斯科郊外的晚上》(点击题图在@dsound收听或从文末的IPFS直接播放)。

##
The song was originally created as “Leningrad Nights” in 1955, but transliterated loosely as “Evenings in Moscow Oblast” at the request of the Soviet Ministry of Culture. In 1957, the song won prizes in both the international song contest and in Moscow. After that, it spread around the world. The song was introduced to China, also to the American mainstream audience during the Cold War era. Its covered versions peaked on the UK Singles Chart and the U.S. charts at the height of the folk revival.

这首歌是墙内开花墙外香的典型。原歌其实叫《列宁格勒的晚上》,创作于1955年,在苏维埃文化部的要求下,被大致翻译为《莫斯科的晚上》。1957年,这首歌在国际歌曲比赛和莫斯科的青年学生节上都斩获大奖。接着,在50年代亲苏联老大哥的中国大陆迅速传播开来。后来也逐渐被介绍到冷战时期和苏联关系僵化的美国。一些英美乐队翻唱的版本在60年代的爵士、民歌等音乐榜单上曾居高不下。

##
This song was adapted by the German band The Scorpions in 2000, and by the Chinese composer Gao Ping in 2003 for the Vocalizing Pianist, “Evenings in Suburban Moscow.” The famous Russian singer Vitas also recorded a version with his counter-tenor voice. I could recall his stunning performance at several Chinese music festivals. The lyrics of this song were shown in Cyrillic script, as the vanity card in 2 episodes of The Big Bang Theory in 2017 and 2018.

德国著名的蝎子乐队和中国作曲家高平也分别在2000年和2003年的时候改编过这首歌。还有一位在中国内地家喻户晓的俄罗斯歌手维塔斯,我记得他曾在几个中国的音乐节上用那出名的魅惑高音飙过一个版本。神奇的是,在爆笑美剧《生活大爆炸》最近两年的剧集里,最后的感言卡上竟然也出现了两次这首歌的俄文歌词。

##
Due to China’s connection with former Soviet Union, my uncles’ generation learnt Russian language for a few years at school. I still remember some words he taught me. I wish I knew Russian language more than a few survival phrases I learnt during the trans-Siberian trip, so I can check out the original lyrics. But since that won’t happen in recent years, here are the English lyrics for your reference: =)

因为当时和苏联的亲近关系,比我父母年长一些的那一代人很多都学过一点俄文。我到现在还记得几个大舅教过我的俄语单词,可惜我的俄语水平仅限于10个左右的单字和词组,还大都是在西伯利亚之旅中临时抱佛脚学的,带着打死也发不出大颤音的悲催~。虽然我很好奇这首歌的俄语究竟在唱些什么,但还是放个能看懂的英文版的歌词算了(中文版的大家估计都很熟就不贴啦):

Moscow Nights – English Lyrics

Stillness in the grove, not a rustling sound
Softly shines the moon clear and bright.
Dear, if you could know how I treasure so
The most beautiful Moscow night.
Dear, if you could know how I treasure so
The most beautiful Moscow night.

Lazily the brook, like a silvery stream
Ripples gently in the moonlight,
And a song afar fades as in a dream,
In the spell of this summer night.

Dearest, why so sad, why the downcast eyes,
And your lovely head bent so low?
Oh, It’s hard to speak—and yet not to speak
Of the longing my heart does know.

Promise me, my love, as the dawn appears
And the darkness turns into light,
That you’ll cherish, dear, through the passing years
This most beautiful Moscow night.

Now following my first post of the trans-Siberian journey, here’s the boat tour I did with my local hosts on the Moscow River. It was a lovely trip filled with fun!

介绍完《莫斯科郊外的晚上》,现在开始泛舟宁静莫斯科河的旅程~

##
First, let’s check out a picture I took of the route plan. You can see clearly the landmarks along the river, most of which were also captured in my following photos. :)

下面拍的图里有坐船的路线,那些著名建筑和雕塑的名称位置都有标注,我就不一一赘述了好会偷懒😜 旅行tip no.1 - 见到线路图一定要拍下来

boatour (1).JPG.JPG)


I bought a can of the popular drink across Russia, Kbac(Kvass) - a traditional Slavic and Baltic beverage commonly made from rye/black bread in a process similar to beer making, with very low alcohol content (0.05 - 1.44%). The first time I tried it was in Harbin, northeast China - a city influenced by Russian culture:

我买了罐克瓦斯在船上喝,在俄罗斯的日子里几乎天天喝这个,东欧和波罗的海沿岸国家也很常见,是由裸麦面包发酵制成的,过程和酿造啤酒类似,酒精含量却超低 - 只有0.05 - 1.44%,几乎没有,在这个伏特加之国,对我这种酒量很差的人来说真是个救星。第一次喝是多年前在哈尔滨街头,这座中国东北的名城受到俄国文化影响不小。当时就觉得甜丝丝的味道不错,而且隐约感到比一般的水和果汁更解渴一点儿,所以也算夏季福音吧:

还记得上面这张照片里的河滨步道吗?这是我拍摄黄昏时分当地人在莫斯科河边起舞的地方,如果感兴趣,可以看看我的上一篇贴文

So that’s it for today’s boat tour, hope you enjoyed the song and the views! See you soon…
