#142 Flamingos | 火烈鸟大放送~
I love flamingos. Who doesn't? (Or perhaps I should say most girls like them? :D) These elegant pink birds are just adorable. You see them everywhere from fabric patterns to plastic toys.
So when I saw the WE LOVE ANIMALS - PHOTO CONTEST by @flamingirl(Hi! :D), I immediately thought of these shots I took in South America. They were all living wild, so I didn't get too close to them. Plus the restriction of my lens, I couldn't get any decent close-up shots. Still, these birds look pretty amazing from distance, don't they? (Dear hostess, I'm afraid you have to pick one entry from them, since I can't decide ;p)
The first 4 (including the head image) are from National Reserve of Flamingos, located in the commune of San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta Region of northern Chile. :
这前四张拍于智利北部阿塔卡马沙漠地区的火烈鸟自然保护基地:
The following 5 ones were taken in Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve of Bolivia:
中间五张拍于玻利维亚西南的自然保护区:

The lake in the photo above is Laguna Colorada (Red Lake). Its reddish color is caused by red sediments and pigmentation of some algae.
上面是红湖,红红的湖水是由红色沉积物和海藻的色素沉着造成的。可惜没有长焦镜头,最多也只能拉到这么远,拍不了近景。
Here are a few more, shot from a train when I traveled from Oruro to Uyuni, Bolivia. It's simply amazing that you get this sort of view from the train windows! I was hoping that train journey never ends when I sat by the window then. =)
最后五张是从Oruro到Uyuni途中的火车上拍的,是不是很神奇?:) 成群的火烈鸟如同团团粉色的火焰,单只的火烈鸟展翅低飞,略过高原湖泊,越过广袤荒野,就在火车窗外不远处。能持续坐拥这般美景,恐怕唯有玻利维亚。在其他几国乘火车时,窗外也曾有过成群的火烈鸟,但那些都只是站在很小一片泥沼中,闪现时间不超过3秒钟。;) 想起曾经,三毛的《万水千山走遍》在我幼稚的小心灵里播下玻利维亚的种子,还有几年前看傅真在《最好金龟换酒》里反复提到的玻利维亚之天地有大美,果真名不虚传。我坐在摇晃的火车上,身边全是玻利维亚人民,看着窗外的广阔天地和自由自在的火烈鸟,真希望这幻境中的旅程就这么继续下去~

谢谢!原想去肯尼亚,但是后来觉得安全性没那么保障,并且欧洲还有不少地方想去,因此暂时搁置了。
