[Daily Photo] Early springtime on a quiet Ann Arbor street / 初春的寧靜街道

Share this :
I was on a quiet Ann Arbor street (Onondaga Street), walking toward the Arboretum. Then I saw these beautiful trees with white blossoms that were in full bloom. I went back and forth on the street, trying to find a best angle to take photos. Finally I found it.

拍攝於美國密西根州安娜堡市寧靜的小街道上。初春時分,大樹上開滿了小白花時在太美了,我徘徊在街道上尋找最美的角度。

[Daily Photo] On the boardwalk in Black Sand Basin, Yellowstone / 黃石公園的步道上

Share this :
It was a beautiful day. We were on the boardwalk in Black Sand Basin, Yellowstone National Park. In many hot spring or geyser areas of Yellowstone, visitors can only stand on the boardwalk or the observation deck.

此照片拍攝於美國黃石公園內的黑沙盆地。在公園內的許多溫泉或噴泉區,遊客只能在這樣子的步道上行走,不能離開步道。

[Daily Photo] 1960 Slingshot dragster in Henry Ford Museum / 60年代的高速賽車

Share this :
This photo was taken in the Henry Ford Museum (in Dearborn, Michigan). The vehicle in this photo is the 1960 Slingshot dragster built by Sam Buck and Bob Thompson. The driver seat is located on the top left of this photo. In the center of the photo you can see the engine (Ford V-8, L-Head valves, 320 cubic inches), and on the bottom right a gas tank.

By the way, I love the Henry Ford Museum because it's a very friendly museum. They allowed me to use tripod to take photos inside the museum (as long as I didn't block the other visitors), so I can get bright and clear photos just like this one by using HDR Photography.

此照片拍攝於美國密西根州Dearborn市的「亨利‧福特博物館」(就是福特汽車的那位亨利福特)。照片中為1960年代的高速賽車。我喜歡這座博物館的最大原因是他允許我使用腳架在館內拍照。藉此我可以盡情的進行HDR攝影。

[Daily Photo] Hill Auditorium and Burton Memorial Tower at dusk

Share this :
I was standing on North University Avenue of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Across the Avenue are two beautiful iconic buildings in Ann Arbor --- Hill Auditorium and Burton Memorial Tower. It was in winter so the buildings were not blocked by trees.

Closeup of an Old Lady Cactus and its flower / 仙人掌花近攝

Share this :
It's not easy to see a cactus with flowers, but when I went to the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens (in Ann Arbor, Michigan), I saw many strange cactuses blooming in the Conservertory. The cactus in this photo is the Old Lady Cactus (Mammillaria Hahniana, Cactaceae).

[Daily Photo] Evening sun in the woods / 午後的陽光穿透樹林

This photo was taken in Nichols Arboretum of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I was walking on the trail back to the entrance when I saw the evening sunlight through the trees made beautiful shadows on the hill.

此照片拍攝於美國密西根大學的植物園。在回程的路上,陽光穿透樹林,將美麗的陰影投射在小山坡上。
