Uros - Floating Life on Lake Titicaca 提提卡卡湖上的漂浮生活


不愧是上过正大综艺节目的目的地,提提卡卡湖(Lake Titicaca)的确与众不同。湖坐落于海拔四千米之上,周围皆是黄土丘陵,独普诺(Puno)一面密集的都是房子,裸露的砖的红色,或者粉刷成黄色或者白色,在经年累月的沙尘的冲刷下也都褪去了饱和度,和背景的山融为一体,从湖边一直延伸至半山腰。

前一晚大巴抵达普诺小镇,一路翻过一个山脊,开下至湖边,远处一片墨黑色,就知道是湖的方向。

An Enchanted Summer Night 夏夜沉醉的晚上


读完郁达夫《春风沉醉的晚上》,回想最近也在“夏风”中沉醉了一晚。说来奇怪,有“春风”,“秋风”,“东风”,却偏偏独没有这“夏风”的说法,想来也许是因为在高温下,空气的流动难以找寻到存在感了吧。原文的故事平淡温情,很是契合这春天的晚上,倒是这沉醉一词让我思考。内心平稳安定,健康逐渐恢复,思绪漫无涯涘,胃口由面包半磅变为一磅,这样数日的夜游的确令人沉醉。不是神志不清不省人事的沉醉,而是神清气爽的沉醉。

Riding Down Mount Rainier via Emmons Glacier


Summiting Mount Rainier and snowboarding down is undeniably a significant accomplishment in my life. I’ve been nurturing this dream since my initiation into backcountry snowboarding. Last year, I managed a ‘partial’ successful ascent of Rainier, taking the route up via the Ingraham Glacier. I use the term ‘partial’ because, though we did ascend to the volcano’s rim, extreme wind conditions and near-zero visibility prevented us from reaching the true summit. We were also deprived of the stunning views that the apex of this majestic mountain affords. However, this time, I achieved all my goals: standing on the true summit and descending via the Emmons Glacier on my splitboard.
