CrimeaLandscapes: Natural Wonders & Ancient Ruins
克里米亞的風景:自然奇觀和古代遺跡
TheSwallow’s Nest castle highon the cliff above the beautiful Black Sea has become an icon for Crimea,Ukraine. But the Crimea you hear about now involves the Ukraine crisis. Whilewe hope for a peaceful resolution, Crimea lawmakers voted in favor of leavingUkraine for Russia, as Russia already has the Black Sea peninsula under itscontrol. In 10 days, citizens of Crimea must choose: Stay in Ukraine or joinRussia. The crisis in Ukraine made us remember Gagra, the resort paradiseturned to ruins, aka the abandoned Russian Riviera. We became curious aboutwhat else does Crimea look like, besides a castle? Here are some of what wefound; here are amazing natural wonders in Crimea, gorgeous landscapes andseascapes, places with so many caves that they are known as cave towns, as wellan ancient ruins that go back to medieval times.
燕之巢城堡(The Swallow’s Nest castle)聳立在黑海之濱的懸崖之上,已成為了克里米亞的標志。但現在,你能聽到的關于克里米亞的消息就是——“烏克蘭危機”。盡管我們希望“烏克蘭危機”能得到和平的解決,但在俄羅斯已經把黑海半島納入控制之下的時候,克里米亞的立法者們卻在投票尋求脫離烏克蘭加入俄羅斯。在10天之內,克里米亞的公民必須做出選擇:要么繼續呆在烏克蘭要么加入俄羅斯聯邦。這次“烏克蘭危機”使我們記住了加格拉這個地方,加格拉這個旅游勝地將會成為一片廢墟(加格拉又被稱為“被拋棄的俄羅斯海岸”)。除了城堡之外,我們越發對克里米亞像什么產生了興趣。下面是在克里米亞拍攝的一組令人驚奇的自然景觀的照片,其中有美麗的地貌海景、以眾多洞穴著稱的的洞穴小鎮,以及一處可追溯到中世紀時代的古代遺跡。
Althoughthe Swallow’s Nest castle high on the cliff above the beautiful Black Sea hasbecome an icon for Crimea, Crimea is so much more than a castle or resortsalong the Black Sea. Here are some of Crimea’s amazing natural wonders andancient ruins.
盡管位于黑海之濱、懸崖之上的燕之巢城堡已經成為克里米亞的標志,但黑海之畔的一座城堡、一處旅游勝地并不足以概括克里米亞的全貌。接下來一起欣賞克里米亞的一組令人驚奇的自然奇觀和古代遺跡的照片。
