  1. 台北市立動物園

    台北の動物園駅から猫空ロープウェイに乗ったのは、ただ猫空の茶屋に行きたかったからだけではありません。台北市立動物園へ行ってみようというのがまず先にあって、ロープウェイや茶屋はそのついでのようなものでした。ロープウェイの一番ふもとの動物園駅の次は動物園南駅となっていて、動物園の南側、山の上側から入園できるようになっているので、そこで降りて入ってみました。入園口は駅の目の前にあるのですが、そこからまず無料の園内トロリー列車に5分程度乗ると、ようやく動物のいるエリアに入れました。

    台湾まで行ってわざわざ動物園へ行こうという話になったのは、日本からいなくなってしまったパンダを見ようというのがきっかけというか、目的でした。そのため、最初からパンダ館を目指して歩いて行ったので、他の動物はあまり見て回りませんでした。しかし、鳥がいるエリアは非常に広い範囲に渡ってネットで覆われた広々とした空間になっていましたし、その他の動物のゾーンも日本の動物園よりもかなり大きく開放的でした。そのためか動物たちも非常に生き生きと健康な様子に見え、特にラクダが大きく毛のツヤも良く立派で堂々としていたのが印象的でした。

    また、動物のいない空間も大きく取ってあって緑も豊かで、来場者はピクニック感覚で楽しむことができそうで、とてもいい施設だと思いました。子供が小さくて近くに住んでいたら、頻繁に通いたいようなところです。実際、訪問したのが台湾の祝日だったということもあってか、園内は多数の家族連れでかなり賑わっていました。

    さて目的のパンダですが、専用のパンダ館という立派な建物ができているのですが、一頭の圓圓(円円)は屋外のスペースに普通に出ていて、そこで自由に遊びながら笹を食べたりして、可愛らしい姿を見せてくれていました。また、見る側は日本のような熱狂ぶりももちろんないので、ガラスのすぐそばまで行って、長時間じっくり観察したり撮影したりして堪能できる状態でした。もう一頭はパンダ館の中にいて、こちらは行列して順番に見ていく形だったのですが、それもさっさと進めと言われるようなこともなく、しばらく写真を撮ったりしていても問題ありませんでした。しかしこちらのパンダ圓寶(円宝)は仰向けに寝そべって、腹の上に広げた笹を貪り続けていて、いくらなんでもそれはないだろうという呆れた態度でした。まあそのだらけぶりも許されてしまうのがパンダですね。

    The infrared photograph shows the Palace of Fine Arts glowing in bright, ethereal tones. Its grand dome and colonnades rise beside a still pond, with trees rendered in luminous white. The scene feels serene, architectural, and dreamlike, with crisp contrast and a timeless atmosphere.

  8. Juggling Knives in London

    I love that this street entertainer is wearing such bright and distinctive clothes but I wish his knives were brightly coloured. Still, the reaction of (some) people was worth it even if the background is too busy to see the knives properly.

    Knives. He’s juggling knives over the head of a tourist lying on the ground. That could have ended badly, but people who perform in Covent Square are really good.

    Street performers must audition for their spots in Covent Square through a formal licensing system managed by the local authority. Performers are allocated specific time slots and locations, with the most desirable pitches going to those who demonstrate the highest skill levels and ability to manage crowds safely. The system was introduced to maintain quality and safety standards after the area’s transformation from a working market to a major tourist destination in the 1980s.

  11. Rope Bridge to Carrick-a-Rede Island by Debra Martz
    Carrick-a-Rede Island in #CountyAntrim, #NorthernIreland, is accessible from the mainland via a rope bridge.
    The first bridge was erected by salmon fishermen in 1755 to reduce reliance on a boat to reach the island. Today, it is mainly a tourist attraction where you can sway in the wind while seeing beautiful views

  13. No Branson trip is complete without seeing a random tribute act. This was Classic Rock Icons, rock songs from the 60s and 70s.

    Rolling Stones, Stevie Nicks, KISS, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Kansas. Definitely a good act.
