親愛的 Y's endeavor and adventure

The whole journey of "Norway in a nutshell" starts from Oslo, to Nesbyen by bus, to Myrdal and Flam by train, Flam to Gudvangen by Ferry, to Voss by bus, and arrives at Burgen by train. We departed from Oslo around 8 AM and arrived at Burgen around 9PM.  It was a fabulous journey full of spectacular views, especially the route of Flam-to-Gudvangen by ferry. It was the best ferry experience I've ever had: the fjords were covered by different types of green and reflected by the sea, the sunshine leaked through the clouds and the light sparkled on the sea. I wondered whether it was the view of the heaven. All I saw was blue, white, green and shine. It was worth spending time to be here.  Flam-to-Gudvangen by ferry 親愛的，         從奧斯陸(Oslo)出發到世界文化遺產卑爾根(Bergan)，沿途的地形與景觀像是將挪威的萬千風景濃縮在一段不短也不常的旅程中。兩趟巴士，轉乘三趟火車，加上一趟渡輪，約莫十二小時的路程，盡是目不暇給的美好風光。         一早 的奧斯陸下著小雨，深綠的樹木和綴在山間的灰雲，一片雨濛濛。 Oslo-to-Myrdal by bus 隨著路程行進，高山白雪與藍天在車窗外變化出不同季節，美麗的風景具有強烈的呼喚力量，於是乎下一刻的我已經離開座位，在車廂間聯結處

親愛的，         記得前幾年的四月，總是選擇淡季出發的我們，在偶然的機會下前往日本看櫻花。         記憶中的櫻花，淡粉或白，盛開綻放或落得滿地，上野公園，新宿御苑，人群與花朵，相互簇擁，目不暇給。看過這樣的美麗，我開始了解為何人們如此瘋狂，為何四月的機票與住宿如此搶手。滿開的櫻花，因風吹起而捲落的花瓣，染成淡粉的小徑或大道。          今年，在距離日本九千公里的蘇格蘭，看到了櫻花。          三月中雨停的某日，格外好運的一天，在Kelvingrove Park的櫻花，淡淡的粉紅綴在藍天下，不知是否由於花期的開始或者品種不同，櫻花漾著若有似無曖昧的粉紅，。同一日，Kelvingrove Museum外的櫻花則呈現另一種姿態，淡紅著卻像在水墨畫中轉濃。          四月底，Dumbarton與Linlithgow的櫻花，明亮而艷麗，與燦亮的藍天相映；對比三月中冷冷的淡粉，四月底濃烈而嬌豔的粉紅，散發著西班牙豔陽的熱烈氣息。          這裡的櫻花也美，也嬌弱，也幸運。 At Kelvingrove Park, Mar/M At Kelvingrove Park, Mar/M At Kelvingrove Park, Mar/M At Kelvingrove Park, Mar/M At Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum , Mar/M At Dumbarton , Apr/E At Dumbarton Castle, Apr/E At Linlithgow , Apr/E
