秋遊(2)--The Flume Gorge, NH

About Flume Gorge (By Google) The Flume is a natural gorge extending 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty. The walls of Conway granite rise to a height of 70 to 90 feet and are 12 to 20 feet apart. A trip into the Flume begins and ends at the Flume Visitor's Center. Guests can choose to walk through just the Gorge or do a two mile loop. The walk includes uphill walking and lots of stairs. The boardwalk allows you to look closely at the growth of flowers, ferns and mosses found here. Framed by a spectacular vista of Mount Liberty and Mount Flume, the Visitor Center houses the Flume ticket office, information center, cafeteria, gift shop, and the state park system's historic Concord Coach. A 20-minute movie showcasing beautiful Franconia Notch State Park is available for viewing.

The Flume was discovered in 1808 by 93-year-old “Aunt” Jess Guernsey when she accidently came upon it while fishing. She had trouble convincing her family of the marvelous discovery, but eventually persuaded others to come and see for themselves. At that time, a huge egg-shaped boulder hung suspended between the walls. The rock was 10 feet (3m) high and 12 feet (3.6m) long. A heavy rainstorm in June of 1883 started a landslide that swept the boulder from its place. It has never been found. The same storm deepened the gorge and formed Avalanche Falls.

Flume Gorge 是我們這次旅遊最激動人心的地方（上麵已經介紹）。 我們一邊觀景， 一邊攝影。 我那位弱不禁風的LD居然也能登上頂峰。 從攝影的角度而言，拍攝Flume Gorge是比較困難的， 其一， 兩邊峽穀， 中間光線不足， 尤其天陰；其二， 場景不夠開闊， 要拍出它的氣勢不易， 其三, 上山台階是木質的， 如有人走動， 腳架晃動。 我們盡力拍出以下的片片，不足之處 敬請諸位指正！
