Image
        這一個國家公園是塔斯曼島重要景點之一,我們到這裡的第二天天未亮就上Amos山去欣賞這裡的美景.Mt Amos整座山是花崗岩組成,一路垂直向上我們必須攀岩上到山頂.在山頂上清晨的陽光照在Wine Glass Bay真是迷人極了,難怪一路上好多好心的同好向我們推薦這一個國家公園,我們在山頂徘徊半小時不忍下山.Wine Glass Bay 是白色石英顏細沙祖成的雪白沙灘,我們穿過沼澤到 Hazards Beach,這裡的沙灘是粉紅色,這是紅色花崗岩隙沙組成,和Wine Glass Bay 的雪白沙灘形成對比.         Freycinet is a national park on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia, 125 km northeast of Hobart. It occupies a large part of the Freycinet Peninsula. Devonian Granite is the dominant rock type at Freycinet. Orthoclase, a pink feldspar gives the mountains and coastline their characteristic pink tint. Black micas and white quartz are also found. The western side of Schouten Island is composed of Jurassic Dolerite. 在Amos山頂與酒杯 海灣合影 Wineglass Bay Mt Amos MT Amos 是花崗岩的石頭山,登 山步道要沿著陡峭石壁 攀爬,有些路段相當危 險,潮濕時不可以上山   Coles Bay before sunrise 破曉時分的Coles Bay 一路上山可以欣賞花崗 岩的奇石 Wine Glass Bay, view from Mt Amos. 酒杯海灣是這裡最出名 的景點,我們在清晨時 上Amos山看到最美 的酒杯海...

         本尼維斯山(英語:Ben Nevis、蘇格蘭蓋爾語:Beinn Nibheis)是不列顛群島最高的山峰。 它位於英國蘇格蘭西部的格蘭扁山脈,毗鄰高 地的小鎮威廉堡(Fort William.本尼維斯山的高度和海陸位 置造成了對登山者不利的不正常的惡劣天氣狀 況。平均來說,一年山頂被烏雲籠罩長達35 5天之久.所以我們爬到一半也被其大風大雨阻 擋,很遺憾的下山.蘇格蘭的多雨和天候的多 變,在這裡登山非常困難,我們嘗試登幾座高 山半途放棄的機率相當高.        Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the British Isles. Standing at 1,344 metres (4,409 ft) above sea level, it is located at the western end of the Grampian Mountains in the Lochaber area of the Scottish Highlands, close to the town of Fort William. 這裡一年有300天是 陰雨 Glen Nevis

Glomach Falls ,the Highlands Scotland -- 1001 Natural Wonders

Image
        The Falls of Glomach, in Ross-shire, Scotland, is one of the highest waterfalls in Britain, at 113 m (370 ft). The falls border Kintail donated to the National Trust for Scotland in 1944 and subsequently incorporating West Affric in 1993. It is not easily reached on foot, requiring an 8-kilometer trek through remote and wild countryside.         格羅馬克瀑布位於蘇格蘭高地羅斯郡,號稱為不列顛群島最高的瀑布,但是卻鮮少人到訪.因為這要克服這裡濕冷的天候,長途辛苦翻山越嶺的體力,還要具備自我山野導航的能力,才能一睹廬山真面目.Eric&Jane費盡千辛萬苦,還差點在山上迷路,才找到這個神祕的瀑布,但是我們覺得非常值得,不信可試試看. Falls of Glomach   群山和 Loch Duich 我們走在瀑布的邊緣, 下面是萬丈深淵,有些 可怕 走在這高原上很冷而且會失去方向感很容易迷路 瀑布全景 瀑布上源的清澈溪流
