日出的金色千層闊麵與尋找金心 ... Golden lasagne at sunrise and searching for a heart of gold



(English at the bottom)
照片攝於2 Dec 2017
如此詩情畫意迷人:薄片雲霞半遮旭日,
雲間透出絲絲金光,有如金色千層闊麵。
旭日冒升位置改變,鋒芒時而收歛、時而再現,
日出景觀變化萬千,在於光及雲的構圖,
天色在兩小時間變幻莫測,只能以連環照片留下回憶。
7:06 a.m. Stripes of golden clouds shone by the morning sun
萬丈光芒衝上雲霄

7:11 a.m. The sun started to hide behind the thick clouds,
rays that were shooting upward were 'cut off'
雲遮日,光芒被削頂

7:13 a.m. Golden rays reappeared
光芒重現,映照金霞

7:23 a.m. The rising sun started to hide
 behind the thick clouds again
日升至雲後,又再被遮

7:24 a.m. Golden striped clouds like lasagne
片片金霞如千層闊麵

7:26 a.m. The sun was blocked
低雲遮日

8:04 a.m. Crepuscular rays
雲隙間,光芒散射

8:47 a.m. A hole in the sky
日藏匿於雲中洞

9:34 a.m. Picturesque blue sky !
名符其實是開雲見日,
「一天都光哂!」

後記

金色予人浮誇庸俗感覺,
但這令我記起年幼時愛不釋手、最著迷的,
一如現在,也是金光水影圖片:
一張是歐洲最北挪威的天涯海角( 北角,North Cape),遠眺金海
(像這幅照片,但整片海面更金黃耀目):
North Cape
另一張圖片是不知名的湖泊,金波耀目:
The golden lake that I liked
為甚麼會特別喜歡金光水影呢?奇怪!
近期聽James Last 純音樂CD,當中一首音樂叫:Heart of Gold,
覺得旋律動聽、內容特別,究竟甚麼是「金的心」?
上網查看,始知解作赤子之心!
但願自己永遠有顆赤子之心,
正如耶穌曾叫門徒別驅趕小孩,
讓孩子來到跟前,並提醒我們要學效小孩的樣式,才能進入天國;
大概不是要我們如小孩般不懂世事、思想幼稚,而是懷有赤子之心?
但願我們不再追求眼前的金,而是心懷金心:柔和、謙卑、純真。

『...I’ve crossed the ocean for a heart of gold,
為了尋找赤子之心,也曾遠渡重洋,
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line,
在我腦海中,一直保有著這種美好的境界,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
那使我不斷的尋找赤子之心
And I’m getting old...
而我已漸漸年老…...』
以上是Heart of Gold (金心) 的歌詞中譯,節錄自:

年青時自己也曾遠渡重洋,欣賞世界大自然美景奇觀;
原來上天賜予美景不止在天邊,也在眼前!
人生到這階段,學習返璞歸真,尋找赤子之心,
不是眼中的金,而是心中的金!

Golden lasagne at sunrise and searching for a heart of gold

Such a picturesque view! (Photos taken on 2 DEC 2017)
Striped clouds shading the golden sun at sunrise,
golden rays painted the striped clouds, like a piece of golden lasagne.
As the sun kept on rising,  depending on its position relative to the clouds, 
it was sometimes hiding and sometimes peeping.
Interesting variations in sunrise are the result of light and clouds' formation.
The scenery changed unpredictably within two hours. 
Only a series of photos could explain and leave a record of this day's sunrise. 

P.S. I was particularly interested in two photos during childhood, 
one was a golden sea at North Cape, another was a golden lake.
Why am I interested in golden scenery? Strange!
This thought has reminded me of a song called Heart of Gold that I've listened to, which is about the search for a kind and soft heart. 
May we search for a heart of gold instead of gold in our eyes. 
I've stopped touring for 17 years already , except for work, 
now I've learnt to go back to the basic and search for a heart of gold! 
Heart of Gold was a song sung by Neil Young:
"...I’ve crossed the ocean for a heart of gold,
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line,
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold,
And I’m getting old..."
