究竟距離要有多短，你才可以接受

印象中第一次看到這些圖畫

已經是2004年冬天時候了

剛剛在硬碟找檔案的時候看到

高鐵初體驗

今天要參加同學的婚禮，而在早先一周前上網預訂，台鐵車票已經被預訂一空啦...

而又不考慮國道客運，因為跟我要到達的地點相差頗多的

所以打算趁這次機會來體驗一下高速鐵路迷人的300km/h啦...

去程在高雄出發，預期應該可以買到自由座位，但是又怕是周六人潮多

所以再出發前一晚我已經又失眠啦，怕錯過預定搭乘的班次，敢不上中午的喜宴

今天七點就被鬧鐘叫醒了，是這個月以來最早的一次，除了熬夜沒睡覺之外..XD

被鬧鐘叫醒後，"即刻"、"火速"從床上跳起來，把前一天整理好的物品帶著就走啦

結果到了高鐵站，才發現時間還在太早了，離發車時間還有50min...囧....(我太緊張了!!!)

到7-11隨便買個東西吃早點，之後就是到處在高鐵裡面晃

(我忘記拍高鐵站的外觀了...我忘記了...我忘記了....太緊張怕錯過班次...就忘了...Orz)

高鐵站內到處都可以見到 $ONY砸大錢的廣告，然後想一想我的VAIO........

好像是我們愛用者在捐錢給$ONY買廣告.. = =

高雄站的空間感很棒，讓人很輕鬆沒有壓力，各種標示也很清楚，該往哪邊走一目了然

相對於對面的台鐵，呃!!!還是別提了



我即將搭乘的北上0110列車。 我果然是太早來了，拍這張相片時，才剛從台北發車而已



第一次買自由席



這個鎮站之寶的古鐘不能不拍一下的啦!!



興建中的迷樣建築物



到樓下晃晃



自從新增自由席之後，發車頻率增加不少
但是旅客人數好像也沒有多多少，今天是周六早上，自由席還是很多空位
所以大家不用急著訂票哩.買自由席就可以了



這班列車從車站出發了，加速加速..SPEED UPUP!!!



列車和月台的間隙很小，讓人看起來很舒服



剛好進站的兩台列車，被上面的列車長發現我在拍照..XD
而且進站停靠位子都很準確.真厲害.開門處即是排隊候車線



列車頭上的迷樣污垢 鳥撞擊後的血? 昆蟲屍體? 我猜是後者



候車區的椅子，設計簡單大方實用好看




這大家一定都知道，我承認我很無聊



今天的行程啦!!!
GO.GO.GO!!



住在高雄的網友應該不陌生吧，高鐵高度高，視野好，讚啦
speed up~up~~~加速中


以前都沒看過裡面是長甚麼樣子的



高速公路



過沒多久速度就飆到270km/h啦~~~~



不需要用生命騎GSX-R1300 隼...也可以達到最安全的地表最速喔!

感動感動..加分加分阿....

-----------婚禮過程與相片省略-------------

最近都在寫Paper..blog文章的遣詞用字越來越不口語了....哈哈

11 phenomenal images of earth

below are 11 incredible photos taken from space which illustrate just a few of earth’s fascinating geographical features and nature’s frightening unpredictability.

click on all pictures for humongous versions.

1. sri lankan coast, 26th december 2004

(above) the ocean rapidly retreats 400 metres on the south-western coast of sri lanka, just 5 minutes prior to the arrival of a devastating tsunami.

(above) the swirling waters continue to batter the coast just moments after the main wall of water has hit.

2. an alluvial fan, xinjiang province, china

(above) covering an area 56.6 x 61.3 km and taken on may 2nd, 2002, this photo shows an alluvial fan that formed on the southern border of the taklimakan desert in china. an alluvial fan usually forms as water leaves a canyon, each new stream eventually closing up due to sediment - the result being a triangle of active and inactive channels. the blue ones on the left are currently active.

3. retreating glaciers in the bhutan-himalaya

(above) a beautiful but clear sign that glaciers are slowly melting due to global warming. easily visible are the ends of most of these glacial valleys’ surfaces turning to water to form lakes, a trend which has been noticed only in the last few decades.

4. hurricane isabel, 2003

(above) this terrifying photo of hurricane isabel was taken on the international space station in 2003 and illustrates the immense size of the hurricane’s eye. this particular hurricane was the deadliest of 2003 and winds reached 165 mph at its peak.

5. greenland’s eastern coast, august 21st, 2003

(above) the fractal coastline of greenland and its numerous fjords as seen from space.

‘little spots of white in the water seem to be ice originating from the deeper fjords that reach all the way to the icecap covering most of the island.’ link

6. aurora borealis

(above) an astounding and spooky photo of the natural phenomenon known as aurora borealis, taken on-board space shuttle atlantis during the sts-117 mission.

7. a total solar eclipse from space, 1999

(above) the shadow of the moon covers part of earth on august 11th, 1999 in this photo taken from mir space station. this shadow raced across earth at 2000 km/h, all areas under the centre of it plunged into darkness during a total solar eclipse. this was apparently one the final photos taken from mir.

8. egmont national park, new zealand

(above) mt. egmont volcano last erupted in 1755 and is now situated at the centre of egmont national park. park regulations have ensured the survival of a forest which extends at a 9.5 km radius from the summit of the volcano, the result of which can be seen from space in the form of huge dark green disc. this photo was taken during the sts-110 mission, april 2002.

9. mt. etna eruption, october 2001

(above) taken from the international space station in 2001, this is a photo of a particularly violent eruption on the island of sicily which produced a cloud of ash that travelled as far as libya. on the humongous version of the photo lighter coloured smoke can be seen near the volcano - this was caused by lava igniting nearby forests.

10. richat structure, mauritania

(above) the cause of the richat structure in the sahara desert of mauritania has been debated for many years. at first it was thought to be a meteor impact crater due to its circularity but this has since been disproven due to the lack of shock-altered rock in its vicinity. this massive (30 mile diameter) oddity is now believed to have been a rock dome sculpted over time by erosion. this incredible image was taken by the advanced spaceborne thermal emission and reflection radiometer (aster) on october 7th, 2000.
