25-05。北布拉邦省西部水防線與盧沃瑞堡壘 De West Brabantse Waterlinie & Fort De Roovere
週日天氣奇好，我們騎重機出遊，目的地是北布拉邦省西部的水防線De West Brabantse Waterlinie。這水防線建於1628年，是從Bergen op Zoom到Steenbergen，由四座堡壘（Fort Pinssen, Fort de Roovere, Fort Henricus, 已消失的Fort Moermont），及堡壘間相連的護城河和高堤，形成了抵禦敵人入侵的防線。戰事發生時，能在Steenbergen打開水閘引入海水，升高水位來保護自己。近年，這大部分埋沒在大自然間的水防線重見天日，城堤被復修後，也同時把部分濕地變成保護鳥類的自然保護區。
Last Sunday, we went to the West Brabant Waterline, which has been build in 1628. There were four fortresses, connected with moats and dam, to protect the area during wars. Continue reading
17-05。曬曬小綠 Photos by Canon 70-300mm
從2009年初敗了台Canon 50D，保守估計，這五年多應該拍了七、八萬張照片。在暑假即將來臨的當兒，不禁擔心我的老伴會不會半途給我出狀況，所以，敗家的念頭就油然而生了。除了想買新的body，我還想買支新的旅鏡。為了回憶下300mm的感覺，把一直冷藏的小綠Canon EF 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 DO IS USM拿出來玩玩。想說最近把小綠賣了來補貼新的鏡頭。這輯照片全是小綠的作品。
These photos are taken by Canon EOS 50D + Canon EF 70-300mm 1:4.5-5.6 DO IS USM. Continue reading

27-04。聖彼得山之北部洞窟 North Caves of Mount St. Pieter
聖彼得山裡全是石灰岩，從羅馬時代起，人們就從這裡挖掘石灰岩塊來建造馬斯垂克城裡的教堂、建築物和城牆等。它的石灰質純淨，也可作淨化水之用。由於長期挖掘岩塊，地下就形成了許多洞窟及通道。曾經這裡近兩萬條通道，後來有一大半因為水泥業的發展而被毀了。二戰時，曾是秘密的藏身之地。
Mount St. Pieter is a hill plateau with limestone massif. Since Roman times, people started to use the limestone blocks of Mount St. Pieter for the constructions in Maastricht, such as churches, buildings, walls etc. Therefore, there are many caves and underground corridors in this area. Here used to have almost 20.000 corridors but half of them were destroyed due to the developement of the cement industry. During the 2nd War World, this underground area used to be a secret hiding place.

【Canada 2014】02-04。洛磯山脈 Rocky Mountains to Edmonton
在Jasper的次早，開始變天下雪了。我們沿著93號公路往南走了一小段，可見度實在是越來越低，於是決定調頭開始回Edmonton的路程，沿途只能說風雪越來越大，朦朧朧的一片，無趣極了。
The next morning in Jasper, the weather changed and started to snow. We tried to continue with a short part of Highway no.93 to south, but the sight was so bad that even we could not see the mountains anymore. Thus, we decided to turn north and drive back to Edmonton. Continue reading
