Birdview of China-master photographics from National Geographic国家地理摄影集:《鸟瞰中国》

please goto the orginal post. 这本书由时尚杂志社引进,译名《鸟瞰中国》(个人以为或有更好的译名,比如法国航拍大师Yann Arthus-Bertrand的航拍影集《Earth From Above》,译为《感受地球呼吸》比《俯瞰地球》就更胜一筹。),中国旅游出版社出版,定价298元。国家地理5月份的中国专辑亦有一部分的航拍。 注:本文分多页,RSS只显示第一页 简介: 从长城到喜马拉雅的雪山之巅 从繁忙城市到悠闲乡村 从蜿蜒江河到磅礴大海 全方位以航拍的广阔视角展现壮丽中国的全貌 全书分为五个章节,以简洁生动的语言和栩栩如生的精美图片,从城市到乡村,从山岳到江河,把广袤浩翰、饱经风霜的中国刻画得淋漓尽致,在这片古老的 土地上展现出一片生机。那绵延耸立的山峦是华夏大地的脊梁,蜿蜒曲折的河流是贯穿全国的脉络;深山幽谷中的村庄体现了黄帝子孙的古朴厚重,参天如林的高楼 大厦展示着东方龙的腾飞…… 书中200多幅鲜为人知的珍奇图片出自数十位摄影师、艺术家之手,它不仅表现出艺术家们技艺的高超绝妙,也体现了作者寓意深远的匠心;他们用艺术描绘了中国,也把艺术的中国献给了整个世界。这是多么广阔的胸怀,深沉的感情。 从空中看中国,因而也就更真实。 唤醒巨龙 天朝大国 中国位于亚洲东部、太平洋西岸,她的版图被形象地比作一只头朝东尾朝西的金鸡。960万平方公里的辽阔陆地,从亚洲中部的帕米尔高原向东延伸到太平洋。东西距离约5200公里,南北距离约5500公里。她具有最为复杂多样的地貌。地势西高东低,呈现出较为明显的三级阶梯。 多面的自然环境 一块与欧洲面积相仿的次级大陆,仿佛试验了所有可能的自然环境的变化。中国是微缩的世界,这里有沙漠和森林、高耸的山脉与热带海洋、辽阔的荒野和同样面积巨大的现代文明。 山脉 这里是世界屋脊,屹立在海拔6100米的高原之上,并令外围的山脉—如天山等—也望尘莫及。就是喜马拉雅山,群山之王、神之居所与天地相见之所。 河流的王国 水在中国是无所不在的资源,并且是中国历史发展的重要贡献力量。金黄色的冰冷河流护佑着黄海,而在北部湾则能看到热带温暖的河流。中国的诸多河流,同时也是世界上最长或者是最重要的河流,它们奋勇激荡、奔腾千里,从内地的高原直冲向大海。 古代与现代的融合 从考古学家发现的古代城市,到皇朝的都城,再到今天的现代化与多种族融合的大都市,中国,仍然保持着人类文明中无以匹敌的尊严与雄伟。 部分图片欣赏(西南篇) 四川:一群正在练习书法的成都少年,这幅景象色彩明丽,引人入胜。 云南:壮观的水稻梯田塑造了云南省元阳的地形,并创造了奇妙的景观。水稻是这个中国西南省份的主要作物之一。 四川:在四川省的汶川县,房顶上摊开晾晒的玉米与种子,仿佛是在随时可用的调色板上排列的颜色。 云南:在云南的剑川县,房屋点缀在大片梯田之间。当地秀美的田园景色、迷人的氛围、美丽的村庄和温和的气候让这里成为喧嚣的都市之外极佳的隐居之地。 云南:这片区域属于国际生物圈保护区的一部分。色彩明丽的树林和云雾缭绕的大山是云南省诸多美景之一。 四川:一群鸭子在眉山县的水上嬉戏。该县所在的四川省境内存有大约650种不同的禽类。 下一页:新藏篇 部分图片欣赏(新藏篇) 新疆:飞越天山的直升飞机 新疆:在乌鲁木齐与天池之间的南山牧场,经常可见寻找新的牧场的哈萨克族与维吾尔族牧民的圆毡营地。 新疆:在新疆的山区,深红色土壤上点缀着多彩的植物,为艺术家的创作提供了无尽的灵感。 西藏:喜马拉雅山冰雪覆盖的山峰从云间升起。这里是充满极限的土地,任何事情都是极致的。不仅是因为它是世界上的最高山脉,也因为它拥有最丰富的水资源。它为地球上几条最重要的大河提提供水源,并且拥有这个世界上除极地以外最密集的冰河区。 西藏:雅鲁藏布江滋润着西藏自治区内的诸多雪山。在这里,河流的平均海拔都在3960米以上。 下一页:内蒙篇 部分图片欣赏(内蒙篇) 内蒙古:一条河流蜿蜒穿过阿尔山森林,在这里,秋色呈现出魔幻般的迷人气质。 内蒙古:森林里的树木仿佛是成吉思汗的武士,排列整齐。成吉思汗在13世纪建立了人类历史上最伟大的国家,从越南到匈牙利的广大地域莫不纳入其疆域之中。 内蒙古:在春季,树叶呈现绿宝石和红宝石的颜色。内蒙古只是在北方地区覆盖大片森林,其余的地方主要是草地和沙漠。 内蒙古:放牧是长城以外游牧民族后代保持传统的最重要方式。在几近千年的历史中,通过季节性地穿越蒙古大草原来寻找新的牧场,他们与大自然做着生存的斗争。 下一页:东北篇 部分图片欣赏(东北篇) 吉林:从高空俯瞰,绿色田野组成了巨大的叶子形状。 辽宁:沈阳郊区的鲜花种植创造出色彩丰富的景观。沈阳植物园是2006年国际园艺博览会的主会场,闻名全国。 [...]
