我有不少的照片想分享给你，但是一时之间，也不知道怎么把它们组合起来放在Stories里。 于是就决定在这里将它们单独列出。 我还会尽量给每张照片附上谷歌街景的链接。 能看看每张照片拍摄的环境也是挺有意思的一件事。
希望你看得开心。
湖海莫辨 / Lake or sea?
Posted on Dec. 18, 2024
English: Lake or sea?
上个礼拜六回了洛桑。和朋友吃过了午饭，趁着微雨的天气一路闲聊，又闲逛到了湖边。 从Renens一路走下，穿过洛桑大学的校园，跨过sport center旁边车来车往的马路，就到了这条静谧的小道。 十二月份，树的叶子们早已零落。然而如同教堂的立柱和穹顶一般的粗壮枝干，照旧默默荫庇着这条往湖边的通路。
远处两个行人撑伞向我们走来。她们毛绒绒的白色小狗出溜在前面，蹦蹦跳跳，惹得我们很喜欢，直直看个不停。 照面走过的时候，她们满脸微笑地与我们打了招呼，可能是因为她们很喜欢我们很喜欢她们的小狗吧。
路的尽头就是莱芒湖了，据说是西欧第一大湖，湖面广阔。 不过天色晴朗时，也往往可以看见湖对面的依云小镇和层层雪山。 然而冬天多云雾，今天的湖面之上只得白茫茫一片，什么也看不太见。 只有不断延展，无边无际的湖面，和跟着冷风向岸边涌来的阵阵水波。 刚一见这光景，一刹那间，我还以为我看见了海。
我在海边长大，小时候父母喜欢带着我去海边吹风踏浪或是游泳。 直到有一次差点在海里溺水，之后就以沿海骑单车为多。 大学也是在海边读的，每天早上从宿舍往外走两步随处一望就能见到大海。 对于以前的我来讲，大海似乎是最司空见惯的一样东西。 然而自从大学毕业，离开了海边之后，就再也没有机会长居在临海的城市了。
那天看见了如同大海一样的莱芒湖，我心里觉得平静的同时，不知从哪也泛上一阵失落。 于此我不由得感叹了一句：我看着这湖有点伤感。 朋友问我为什么，我也不知如何回答。

Just an enjoyable moment from last year. Taken at this location in September 2023.

Graduation day (near the end of)
Posted on Dec. 04, 2024
This photo was taken on Nov. 11, 2023, back to CUHK for a friend’s graduation ceremony. After the ceremony, the chairs were being stacked up for later removal. Above the blue chairs were pieces of decorative fabric of purple and yellow, the symbolic colors of the Uni. The way the fabric being hung reminds me of the waves on the sea, but upside down.
In front of University Library, CUHK
I walked around the campus that day, and took many photos. Maybe it’s a good idea to put them on the website as well, if I ever find time.
Also, until I searched for it, I didn’t realize CUHK gets official google street view coverage. I found the location of the photo. It looks very different from the photo, but you can probably tell its the same place by looking at the tiles on the ground.
Look up for a new year
Posted on Nov. 29, 2024
It was a few days before Chinese new year, and of course the peak season for new year shopping. Many shop fronts would be filled with red laterns, red banners, and many more new year decorations, including this one I passed by on my way to have dinner with a friend. The two ladies siting/standing on the sidewalk, looking up, probably hoping the new year to be looking up as they are right now.

Taken near January 2024. It’s on Queen’s Road West, but don’t recall the exact location. If you happen to know, let me know please.

A giant mirror box was placed on the plaza in front of the entrance to Louvre, bringing an artificial mirage. See the street view to see this scene from a wider angle.

This is a pretty typical down-to-earth restaurant near your small apartment that you will get takeaway from, featuring Hongkonger’s all time favoriates: round tables and chairs. Through the glass, you can also see cups, chopsticks and laminated single-pager menu standing on the tables. After wine and dine, when walking out of the restaurant, don’t forget to look right.

A camera shop in Hong Kong
Posted on Nov. 24, 2024
A second-hand camera shop I ran into while I was strolling around Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. I was totally impressed by their huge display of their lenses. I wish I could have just maybe 1% of those…
