My Lonely Planet

很偶然的情況下,去了林一峰的演唱會。演唱會的主線環繞著他的新碟《My Lone Planet》,裡面的是關於他對家、旅行、和人生的一些感受。這個演唱會出奇地好看,一來是歌手、樂隊的水準高,更重要的是,他的歌和歌詞,像一股清風拂過你 心靈的深處。對於喜歡旅行的人,特別的有共鳴。

(以下斜體字是林先生的版權所有)


『到處走,是為了尋找停下的理由』



雲南印象

有友人先後出訪雲南十六次。自己走過一遍後,明白為甚麼他去了十五遍還會再去第十六遍。

位處海拔二至五千尺的雲貴高原,舉目便是雪山、湖泊、梯田、盆地、小橋流水,居住著數十個少數民族,即使住上一年半載也看不完她春來冬去、乍雨還晴的每一面。


在玉龍雪山上眺望遠方的平原,一刻幻覺像飛到了世外桃源,一切一切的俗務都消失於那片蔚藍的晴空中。



在海拔幾近五千米的山上,感覺像少了半邊肺,走了五分鐘便透不過氣來



春夏秋冬 - a song inspired by a mother in the Sichuan earthquake

我想陪你感受春暖花開 告訴你夏蟬要多年才冒出來
聽著秋風跟落葉擁抱在一塊 看著冬雪把一切染白
我想好好看著你長高 踏出第一步 說第一句話
在你畢業典禮親手送上一束花 為你高興當你有自己的家
我用我的手 為你撐起一個家
別感嘆 生命無常
如果有一天 我真的要離開
請為我 欣賞更多生命的色彩


給你一個饅頭 輕輕放在你手
最根本的幸福 最親切的問候


過橋米線
JC, this is the 'over the bridge noodles' you asked for.



機場奇景
也許也不是很奇,畢竟少數民族的人也要坐飛機的。


納西族的婆婆


納西族的小女孩


篝火晚會
大家繞著中間的篝火,手牽手地隨著樂聲起舞,從白天舞到黑夜。

熱鬧晚會背後
這位婆婆在街邊小巷擺賣小玩意,不過她睡著了。


農婦
那些一個一個像小山的禾稈草,就是她一捆捆地的打出來的。


紅土砌成的牆垣


飛花觸水


Walking on water

習慣不回頭,且行且珍惜

留下來的 只剩我心中一片綠
昨天太遠 我回不去
前路太遠 我看不盡
我仍相信 活在我心中一片綠

月落日出柳暗花明 人還在 心存感激


不屬於我的鄉愁


鏡中花、水中雲


小白花

柏林的雪抱著維也納的眷戀    如果思念能熬過時間    天涯海角也會再見

 

臉上刻滿歲月的留痕 淺藍色的眼睛
映著窗外風景高速掠過 變成道道溫柔的水紋

你在思念誰,還是想忘記誰

若你點起一支煙會否想誰


不知是怎麼開始,水面卻泛起了一點點的漣漪

世界天天都在改變 你想去多遠就可以多遠

累了,千萬不要忘記 最幸福的就在眼前

良知

荒謬的答問大會

『對六四的看法』

沒錯,夾在香港市民和中共之間,是很難面面俱圓。

然而選擇用『國家發展驕人』來轉移大家視線,除了『智障
』,恕在下字彙不足…但這也侮辱了他其他智商稍遜常人的市民。

面對吳藹儀冷靜而鋒利的質詢、長毛狂怒而一針見血的咆哮,我們尊敬的特首站在答問大會席上,好像一個小孩子獨個兒站在表演台上,突然之間褲子鬆掉、丟在地上。
面對台下幾萬雙雪亮的眼睛,聽著台下質問:
『它在哪裡?你是沒有的嗎?』

他往下看著自己小得可憐、幾乎看不見的那話兒,紅著臉、又氣又羞,一邊高聲尖叫著『我沒有,代表你們全都沒有﹗』,一邊哭著跑回後台找老爺爺,『我被欺負了﹗』。

Le Tour de l'Europe 2007 - Finale

Amsterdam


A vibrant city full of colours and contrasts.

Vincent van Gogh and his sunflowers.
In coffee shops, you can have as much grass as you like, but not coffee.
McDonald's right next to porn shops.
An ancient cathedral standing in the middle of the infamous Red Light District.
And in celebration of the Queen's Day, every street in Amsterdam is bursting with the entire city's population in endless beer parties.


Amsterdam - Day

Typical Ductch houses that stand shoulder to shoulder, facing the canals.

Amsterdam - Night

All the boats docked up. The canals are at peace again, mirroring the lights and sky.

Dog and man

Our beloved Bart and Salvador Pena

The Keukenhof Gardens

Tulips, tulips, tulips

Admirers can only shyly watch her from afar, awed by her beauty.

黑色鬱金香

Vineyards of Absolut Vodka

McDonald's and Non-stop Porno Films

All your needs quenched, guaranteed!

The Queen's Day

Everyone dresses in orange, the Dutch colour. Or at least, wears an orange smile!

Can you feel the youth and energy of the city?

Bike trips

Longest ones I've ever had. There is no better way to appreciate the beauty of the countryside.

湖邊

假使一天不再飛到公園中散步年紀
有結伴人是你

Traditional windmills

It was getting dark. We just barely managed to get back to town before it was pitch black.

Twilight

Where are the Cullens?

風車

We actually met the son of its owner.

Dusk by the sea

Before Sunset

國殤

六四


最近香港大學學生會會長陳一諤的言談,真的令人困惑。
「北京在六四鎮壓學生只是有些問題,外界不應將矛頭指向北京。」
「我的看法」代表「香港大學學生」的看法

一向都不是喜歡政治的人。孰是孰非,往往不易弄明白。
然而,操控媒體、壓制言論、過而不認、顛倒黑白,卻是小孩皆知的大是大非,不能視若無睹也。

趁香港還有言論自由,先部落格一番。

『毋忘六四』

這句口號不經不覺已經聽了二十年。大家都開始聽得習慣了,好像家裡飯廳牆壁上的兒時污印,二十年來每天的看,開始不覺它的存在。

一九八九年,那年我六歲。別以為六歲小孩不懂事。那一個月,每天電視的新聞報導我猶記得。
四方型的電視箱裡,每天播著新聞,一些發生於一個遙遠國度 (至少對於一個小孩是) 的事情。

一個個從陌生變得熟悉的名字…
吾爾開希
王丹
柴玲
趙紫陽

你,記得他們嗎?

一幅幅奇怪的影像…
大學生、天安門廣場
熱血的口號
不眠不休、不吃不喝的絕食靜坐
軍人、士兵
裝甲車、坦克車

怎麼這些人和這些事會走在一起?

當天,六歲的我,不明白。
學生不是應該在大學校裡面讀書的嗎?
士兵不是應該在戰場上打壞人的嗎?
怎麼天安門成了戰場,怎麼不吃飯的學生哥哥要被軍人用坦克鎮壓?

今天,二十六歲的我,更不明白。
我們怎麼能夠忘記、怎麼能夠以一句說話
抹煞
那一幅幅,曾經在你、在我眼前實實在在出現過的事實?

六四民運,是不是會像南京屠殺一樣,漸漸、漸漸的,在大家的記憶中慢慢淡忘?

若干年後,歷史學家將會走出來,拿著一幀幀的舊相片,以權威的口吻向大家說:『這,根本沒有發生過。』
就像日本的歷史書。

那時,我們這一代的人在餐桌上與舊同學和兒女閒話當年,孩子大概會說
"Dad, you gotta be kidding me. My teacher said it was a perfectly peaceful petition!"


後記 — 民運之『定性』:

六四民運,原來有很多別名

在1989年4月26日,《人民日報》社論稱民運事件之為「社會動亂」
6月4日,戒嚴指揮部清場時稱為「反革命暴亂」
6月9日,鄧小平在接見戒嚴部隊軍以上幹部時稱為「嚴重的政治風波」
現在,統一稱為「一九八九年春夏之交的政治風波」

Interestingly,中國政府在《人民日報》及《解放軍報》上把這一幕軍隊、坦克、來福槍『戰勝』手無寸鐵的學生市民 美名為:
『英勇的人民解放軍取得鎮壓反革命暴亂的偉大勝利』


A picture is worth a thousand words. Before you look at it, make sure you have a strong stomach.

A photo from a French press.

"He has his legs crushed by a tank."


『歷史, 從來都是勝利者的宣傳工具』
這是現實,但在我們能力範圍內,我相信我們依然應該追求真理。
要讓孩子相信,世界上,除了金錢和權力,還仍然有更美好的東西。

The Lord of the Rings Finale - The Return to New Zealand


Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.


The long and perilous road that we must take

"I will take the Ring," Frodo said,
"though I do not know the way."

Is this Rivendell, home to the legendary Elves?

Heavenly Mirror

formed by glacial waters

The Fellowship marches on

"I am Aragorn son of Arathorn and am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dunadan, the heir of Isildur, Elendil's son of Gondor. Here is the Sword that was Broken and is forged again! Will you aid me or thwart me? Choose swiftly!"

On Friendship

Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?

Frodo: [Overcome by exhaustion] No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes!

Sam: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!

Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo

The amazing turquoise blue colour of Lake Tekapo is created by "rock flour": the glaciers in the headwaters grind the rock into fine dust.  These suspended particles in combination with the sunlight create Lake Tekapo's unique colour.

Wanna take a dip?

Lake Tekapo from Mount John Summit

This Crumpler bag is a steadfast companion, bearing my precious (camera), wherever I go.

Ents, guardians of the Fangorn forest

Patient and peaceful usually, however, if you are not eco-friendly enough, they can rip down the walls of Isengard like bread crust.

The Lake from the larch forest

Sparkles from the tip of a magic wand

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.    - LOTR

Night time sharpens and heightens each sensation; darkness stirrs and wakes imagination

Crux Australis
南十字星,一直在路上給你引領方向。你找到了 嗎?

Follow the guiding star, and you will walk out of this barren land unscathed.

Treacherous white waters

Mount Cook, or is that Minas Tirith?

Cows and sheep

Sydney

The fellowship has found a civilization amidst the barren lands!


Vineyard of Gibbston Valley

Love at first sight with the wine of New Zealand

The Barrel

Rosé wine

A red wine without its tannins cannot be called rouge.

Neither is life without its past and bitterness fully lived.

Hare

Pinot Noir

"Dark pines"

Age is of no importance unless you are a cheese

Reflect on thyself

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by.

The Fox Glacier

Amazing experience to actually set foot on the glaciers

冰 。 心

The Rose

Some say love, it is a river
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed.

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
that never learns to dance.
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
that never takes a chance.

I say love, it is a flower,
and you it's only seed.

Just remember in the winter
far beneath the bitter snow,
Lies a seed, that with the sun's love,
in the spring becomes a rose
