[旅行] 烏普薩拉的小橋流水 Bridges in Uppsala

        待在烏普薩拉半年,這座城市最讓我心醉的,莫過於小橋流水。就像世界上大多數的城市一樣,烏普薩拉有條河,名叫Fyrisån,而越過這條河的每座橋長的都不同,各有各的特色,隨著四季變換,展現不同風情。我不是橋梁或建築的專家,只能用拙劣的知識和普通的美感加以傳遞。

        I lived in Uppsala for six months, and one of my favorite parts of this city is the bridges across the river. Like most cities in the world, Uppsala has a river that crosses over the city named Fyrisån. Every bridge that connect the two sides of Fyrisån look different and has its unique style. The alternation of seasons makes the scenery picturesque. I am not an architecture specialist, so I can only use my limited knowledge to interpret the beauty of the bridges in Uppsala.

St Olofsgatan Bridge

        這是我最常走的橋,上面是柏油路,非常普通,但是一旁的花會隨四季變化,當時拍照是秋天。而橋畔便能欣賞到大教堂的壯麗,一旁紅透的樹讓景致更美。

        This is the bridge I walk on the most. It seems ordinary since it is an asphalt road. However, the flowers on the side of the bridge expresses different kinds of beauty in different seasons. The picture was taken in autumn. On the bridge, one can see the grand cathedral and also the trees that turn red beside it.

        這是另一種,我稱之為石板橋,十足中古歐洲風情。烏普薩拉是座古色古香的城市,因此很多建設都會讓人有置身電影場景的錯覺。

        This is another kind of bridge. The bridge is covered with flagging stones and on the top it is covered with a stone path as well. This kind of path is a common ancient European style of road. The stone paths make Uppsala, which is already an ancient city, look like a scene in a movie.







        最後一種,是幾何形狀的,通常是比較小的橋,姑且稱之幾何橋。這幾座橋連接的都是小巷弄,而小巷中的小店往往令人流連忘返。

        The last kind of bridge is constructed as geometric shapes. These bridges are narrow ones and most of them connect small alleys. I enjoy walking through them to explore little stores in the alleys of this amazing city.







最後,放上一張母女在金秋時照片以紀念這趟旅程。

        Finally, this is a picture of my mom and I standing on the bridge enjoying the colorful autumn leaves.
