Nature

For people in Taipei, there are many ways to get close to nature. Yangmingshan is a good choice. If you only have one or two hours, the Botanical Garden in the city is also a place worth visiting and taking photos. Other places, such as Tamsui and Wulai, and farther away, such as the northern coast, the North Cross-Island Highway, or Yilan, are all places I like.

Lovely Flowers, Beautiful Scenery, Sunsets, Sunrises

Culture

I have collected some photography works related to humanities and art, such as historical buildings, public facilities, and sculptures, in this group. My personal preference is Taiwanese old buildings, including temples, Minnan-style buildings, and Baroque buildings from the Japanese colonial era.

New and Old Taipei, Kaohsiung, Temples, Impressions of Taiwan

Life

It is not difficult to take pictures of various birds or medium-sized animals in the city. As long as you stay in the zoo for half a day, you can enjoy penguins in the polar regions and zebras on the grasslands. In Taipei, I like to visit the Taipei Zoo regularly. I like to take pictures of animals' movements. It feels like a series of stage performances, with surprises and warmth.

自然

對台北人而言,親近大自然有很多方法,陽明山應該是不錯的選擇。
如果只有一、兩個小時,市區的植物園也是一處值得賞玩與拍照的地方。
其他地方,如淡水與烏來,遠一點如北部濱海、北橫沿線、或宜蘭都是我喜歡的地方。

文化

我把一些歷史建築、公共設施、雕塑作品等人文藝術相關的攝影作品收集在這個群組下。
我個人的喜好是以臺灣的老建築為主,包含廟宇、閩南式建築、日據時代的巴洛克建築等。

生命

在都市裡要拍到各類飛禽或者中大型動物並不是難事,
只要在動物園待上半天,就可以飽覽極地的企鵝與草原的班馬。
在台北,我喜歡定期造訪木柵動物園,我喜歡拍動物的一舉一動,
感覺上就像是一幕幕上演的舞台劇,有驚奇也有溫馨。

Before going to Italy, my impression of it was limited to Espresso, Cappuccino, Pizza, and Pasta. After going to Italy, I was able to truly appreciate its art and culture. From the ruins of ancient Rome to the Renaissance in Florence, from the floating city of Venice to the fashion capital of Milan, the visual impact was so great that my wife and I kept snapping photos. I hope these photos can provide some travel tips for friends who are planning to visit Italy, and can also bring back sweet memories for those who have already been there. By the way, July and August are the hottest months in Italy (35-40 degrees Celsius), and St. Mark's Square in Venice may be flooded. It is best to avoid these months.

Here is my itinerary:

Day 1: Taipei - fly to Abu Dhabi - fly to Rome 
Day 2: Rome - Pompeii - Naples 
Day 3: Naples - ship - Capri Island - cable car - ship - Sorrento - Rome 
Day 4: Rome - Colosseum - Arch of Constantine - Pantheon - St. Peter's Basilica - Trevi Fountain - Spanish Steps - night tour 
Day 5: Rome - Siena - Cathedral - Piazza del Campo - Leaning Tower of Pisa - Pisa
Day 6: Pisa - Florence - Piazzale Michelangelo - Duomo - Piazza della Signoria - Pisa 
Day 7: Pisa - Murano Island - Venice - Rialto Bridge - St. Mark's Basilica - Gondola ride 
Day 8: Venice - Verona - Arena - Milan - La Scala Opera House - Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II - Duomo di Milano - Milan 
Day 9-10: Milan - fly to Rome - fly to Taipei

去義大利前對她的印象僅止於Espresso、Capuchino、Pizza、Pasta﹔去過義大利後才真正體會到她的藝術與文化。從古羅馬廢墟到翡冷翠文藝復興,從水都威尼斯到時尚米蘭,一連串的視覺震撼,讓我和老婆猛按快門。希望這些照片能帶給想去義大利旅遊的朋友一些行前參考,也能帶給去過義大利的朋友一些甜蜜的回憶。對了,每年七、八月是義大利最熱的季節(攝氏35-40度),威尼斯的聖馬可廣場也可能會淹水,最好避開。
