森林‧湖泊
Woods and lakes
多瑙河河畔‧維也納 / Donau River, Vienna
夏日的多瑙河畔有著維也納最迷人的風景，沿岸是在岸邊戲水、曬太陽的當地人，也有很多人在沿岸的小徑上健走。每次心煩氣躁時只要來到多瑙河畔，看看悠閒的人們，就會想起慢活的美好。
The most fascinating scenery in summery Vienna can be found along the Donau riverbanks. People sunbathe, swim, or hike along the trails. Every time when I feel lost or fidgety, I will retrieve my inner peace there.
多瑙河河畔‧維也納 / Donau River, Vienna
旅行要結束之前，我又回到同樣的地點畫圖，在這裡我看到了維也納的精髓。
I love the spot so much that before going home, I sketch again in the same place. For me, the place is my definition of Vienna.
羅保國家公園‧維也納 / the Lobau, Vienna
這個景點是我本趟旅行最大的亮點！本來我計劃要去羅保國家公園健行，但是因為沒有做好縝密的計劃，雖然最後沒有找到健行路線，卻意外走進裸體做日光浴的湖區。剛開始很驚嚇，我還很認真考慮是不是也該如法泡製，但亞洲人的拘謹讓我只能衣冠整齊地坐在樹林間畫圖。我深深覺得：維也納人真的很包容我。
This place is the highlight of my trip. I planned to go hiking in the Lobau, but I fail to find the hiking trail. However, my lack of sense of direction leads me into this nude sunbathing area. I am really shocked in the beginning, but I do think seriously if I should take my clothing off. In the end, my discreet Asian personalities kill the desire to take such a bold step. I sit there covered from head to toe, thanking Wieners for being so magnanimous with me.
對我來說，當地人們對待自己身體的態度給了我很多思考的空間，我對待自己的身體彆扭地要命，我到底在害怕些什麼，不過就是一具軀體吧！
Yet, the visit makes me think about the body. People who go nude sunbathing don't have the most beautiful bodies in the world, but they are so ok with being naked. I hope one day I can liberate myself from all the pointless concerns and restraints.
其實我看到的奧地利人也都中規中矩，所以看到他們裸體日光浴的這一面，我也會想應該要放開一些。今年夏天要是有什麼成長的話，都要謝謝這些人給我的刺激！
As a matter of fact, Austrians, in my eyes, are polite and reserved, so if they don't find nude sunbathing outrageous, I have a good reason to open up too. Well, the trip to the Lobau is probably the most thought-provoking experience this summer.
維也納大學‧維也納 / Vienna University, Vienna
哪裡有翠綠的樹蔭，哪裡就有休憩的人們。暑假的大學校園裡很寧靜自在。
Wherever there are lush shades, there are people taking a break under the thick foliage. The university campus during summer break is serene and relaxing.
市中心草地上 / on the lawn near Volksgarten
明明這裡就是從地鐵站Volkstheater進入市中心所有景點的入口，我卻能避開觀光客。中午十二點，身邊有很多牽著愛狗來散步的維也納居民和小憩一下的市民。
Often I am amazed that tourists gather in a certain area. Beyond an invisible line, no matter how close, no tourist is seen. This is the lawn near the exit of Volkstheater metro station, which leads to all the major museums and tourist spots right in the center of the city, but I only see the locals coming here either for walking dogs or taking a nap at noon.
哈修塔特 / Hallstatt
在湖邊的小鎮裡，到處都是觀光客，在喧鬧中找到安靜的角落是我最大的挑戰，不過就是有那麼一種地方，讓我可以畫想畫的風景，也不會晒到太陽，那是湖邊樹蔭下的長凳。
Hallstatt, the renowned town along the lake, is packed with visitors. My toughest challenge is to find a quiet corner as streams of people keep flowing by. However, the miracle does exist. There is always a spot where I can draw without being exposed to the sun--that is the bench under the shade of some trees on the lakeshore.
哈修塔特 / Hallstatt
畫著畫著，下雨了，我居然可以在雨中撐起傘繼續畫，身邊避雨的人都不吝對我微笑，他們一定覺得我有絕活！
As I draw, raindrops start to fall. Surprisingly, I can hold an umbrella and keep sketching in the rain. People taking shelter next to me cannot help smiling at me. I bet they must find me incredible.
不過老實說，第二張圖是雨停了之後又跑回去畫的。
But truth be told, I have to go after it rains for about ten minutes. Actually I go back to draw again after the rain stops.
哈修塔特 / Hallstatt
受不了人潮的話，就坐船到小鎮的對岸畫圖，那裡除了搭火車的乘客外，只有嗡嗡的蜜蜂和獨自划船的女人陪我。
When I can't bear the crowds anymore, I take the ferry to the other shore. There, apart from the train passengers, my only companions are the bees and the beautiful lady that rows alone on the lake.
市集
Market
格拉茲 / Graz
出大太陽的日子裡，在市集的角落，畫一早上的圖也不會覺得熱。現在的我最想念那裡緩慢悠閒的生活步調。
In the super sunny morning, I do not feel heat in a shady corner in Kaiser-Josef Markt. Now, I miss most the slow pace of life there very much.
動物園
the zoo
Schönbrunn Zoo, Vienna / 美泉宮動物園‧維也納
我很羨慕這些傢伙，啄啄毛之外就是發呆，真是單純的生活啊！
I envy these kids very much. They do nothing beside preening their feathers. I love the empty look in their eyes as they stare off into the distance. What a simple life!
