From Edinburgh 愛丁堡, the city of stone and story,
I rode north through mist-kissed hills to Perth 珀斯,
where the River Tay curves like calligraphy,
and silence lingers in cathedral air.

Steel rails carried me east to Dundee 登地,
a city reborn by design and the sea,
where V&A glass reflects the North Sea sky,
and the wind smells of salt and memory.

Then up to Aberdeen 阿伯丁,
the silver city, granite-hearted and ocean-faced.
Fishermen’s voices echo from the harbor,
and oil platforms glint on the horizon like distant machines.

In Elgin 艾爾金, I wandered quiet streets
and bought a bottle of whisky, warm as hearthlight—
a memory I could carry, amber and aged.

Inverness 因弗內斯 welcomed me like a whisper—
a gateway to myth, where the River Ness slips
between modern life and ancient depth.

Southwest, the Highlands unfolded.
To Fort William 威廉堡, standing beneath Ben Nevis 本尼維斯山,
the sky turned vast and blue,
and time slowed to match the rhythm of the glens.

Then to Oban 奧本, cradled in seagull cries and salt breeze,
where ferries hum to distant isles
and seafood sings on plates by the quay.

One last royal breath—Inveraray Castle 因弗拉瑞城堡,
its gardens trimmed by dreams,
its towers brushed by Highland clouds.

And finally, back to Edinburgh,
where the echoes of the journey tucked themselves
between heartbeats and photographs.

科索沃

普里茲倫 Prizren--霧中老城,慢板之詩 普里茲倫(Prizren),從來不在我的計畫裡。只是因為阿爾巴尼亞一場臨時的約會,它忽然成了通往保加利亞途中不得不拐進的一站。 誰料在科索沃南部,這座蒼茫的老城,竟如此溫柔地楔進了我的眼前,並且,毫不客氣地,占走了我兩天一夜的時光。...
