The Bay of Fires is named not for its notable ember-colored granite (whose tint is actually a crust of orange lichen), but for bonfires spied here from the sea by a British ship captain in 1773. Those fires belonged to the Aboriginal Tasmanians who were first to enjoy the beauty of this wild island, now one of the six states of Australia. The Bay of Fires' wave-washed white sands frequently earn it a ranking on world's-best-beach lists, even beating out mainland mainstays like Bondi Beach and Surfers Paradise.
这难道是天外来客的座椅?
没那么烂
荒地上的美好时光
被一分为二的城市
一组奇怪的石头
天然“教堂”
雾霾中的“高峰”
沙漠还是甜点?
