travel starts with photography

This competition is a cup competition. Players sign up from various countries around the world. All of them are very capable and well-known in the bicycle industry.

The person in charge of the explanation does not know which country he is from, but he speaks English when he explains, and he is full of passion,

"Okay, now we have entered the gravel section, where the top-ranked drivers have an advantage. When the vehicles pass by, the inevitable dust and the misty starlight will pose a very difficult challenge to the vision of the drivers behind."

"The main screen here is Al Orlando, who is temporarily ranked fifth. This player only joined the ranks of cyclists last year. His advantages are particularly obvious in endurance races. He is affectionately called the Iron Lung by the audience. , Iron Lung Orlando."

"The road here is relatively narrow. The driver in front is concentrating on finding the line and taking a break by the way, but what do we see now?! Iorlando is shaking the car at a fast speed. Is he going to overtake on this section of the road?"

"Really surpassed? Can this also be surpassed?"

As a commentator, he shouldn't say such a thing, it seems a bit unprofessional, but it is really outrageous.

There is a big uphill road section before and after, and the narrow flat road in the middle is obviously not for people to overtake, but for the drivers to have enough time to rest and recover their heart rate, otherwise it will be difficult to climb this first Two slopes.

We all know that people have limits.

A person who runs 100 meters, even if this person is an Olympian, can hardly finish the 400 meters in a full sprint. After more than half an hour, the unreasonable distribution of physical strength could not persist to the finish line.

The director who controls the angle of view of the main screen watched the commentary and was engrossed in watching Ai's angle of view, and did not choose to change it for a while.

Anyway, there are no good pictures from other perspectives for the time being.

"Here's to the uphill! This is the most powerful part of the rider in Iorlando. His rocker is unmatched. God, who knows what this rider did before he became a cyclist. This kind of A strong heart is perfect for this type of enduro race!"

In such a game, the rate exceeds 180 easily, and even exceeds 200.

But at that time, the players should have black eyes and dizzy hair.

Chen Xing knows what Ai used to do. I heard him talk about it at a party in Norway. He used to fly in a wing suit, climb rocks with bare hands, surf a speedboat, etc. To be precise, he is not a professional biker either. It's just that I have been very interested in this for the past two years, so I joined in and played.

If one day Ai finds out that there are more fun things to do, he will probably abandon this sport and play the next favorite thing just like abandoning wingsuit flying before.

He likes to refer to himself as an extreme player, rather than a professional player of a certain sport.

Chen Xing went to look at the leaderboard again. At present, the number of pages of this leaderboard is not as large as when Chen Xing saw it just now. This means that many drivers have chosen to retire midway, and some of them think that this race will win the race. There is nothing to continue to compare to fame, and some people really can't stand it.

But if Chen Xing did this professionally, even if he was the last one to get the ranking, he would have to continue driving.

Familiarize yourself with the track, maybe you can get a good ranking next time?

At this time, we came to a mountain forest section, which is what ordinary people call a mountain road. There are forests on both sides, and the route is winding left and right. It is difficult for ordinary people to walk on this road with their feet, but the speed of the top five contestants is not Under 20, sometimes even run at a speed of 30.

Chen Xing didn't even listen to what the commentator was talking about, and kept staring at the driver's screen.

It turns out that the bicycle downhill competition is so beautiful?
The various uphill and downhill roads in front have been covered, and now they are basically all downhill sections, especially from the perspective of this rapid descent down the mountain, people don’t even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that the driver they are concerned about will crush something Something fell apart.

The race was almost over, and Chen Xing could even see the No.1 driver.

It's not Ai.

Due to a little mistake in the route selection in the early stage, he is still in the position of No.3. Chen Xing can already see him at this time, and his speed is very fast. At a visual speed of 60 kilometers per hour, he is in front of and behind No.2. crossed the finish line.

After No.2 parked, seeing that he was only so far away from No.1, he sighed.

However, Ai's mood was fairly stable. After getting off the car, he hugged No.1 who was resting while panting heavily, and then hugged Chen Xing who was applauding.

"The figure is very handsome." Chen Xing said.

"It's a pity that it's only No.3. I thought I would be number one, but I still haven't surpassed him."

"Who? Do you know No.1?"

"Cillian Brown, a very powerful person. He is my friend. I will introduce you to you later."

"Forget it, I would rather you introduce beautiful women to me."

"Ha ha!"

He patted Chen Xing on the shoulder vigorously, and said:
"There will be a chance. I will hold a party whenever I am free, and I will find young and lovely girls for you to attend. I only hope that your guys will be strong and don't let them down."

"Humph!"

Chen Xing snorted and said that you underestimated me too much, and then heard someone say in the speaker: "Archido Richardson of No. Your ranking is fourth, and the person who previously set the third and fourth rankings will move up one place."

"You are second." Chen Xing said.

"Xing, No. 2 No. 3 in any competitive game is meaningless, but for me, I just need to enjoy the game."

Chen Xing nodded. He actually understands these games very well. Wasn’t it the same in the previous LOL games? When EDG from China won, a lot of media flocked to the EDG team. After that final, he could only exit in despair.

He looked behind him, and the few media also went to interview No.1 Cillian Brown.

There was a voice calling Ai to get the medal and take pictures, he replied and said to Chen Xing: "Then I will go there first, do you want to come to the party later?"

"No, I want to take a stroll in this small town."

In winter, small towns in Iceland seem to be sleeping, with fewer pedestrians and less noise.

Chen Xing saw so many small towns on the way here, and this Brundios seemed particularly vibrant to him.

For the convenience of tourists like them who came here to watch the game, all the lights in the town seemed to be turned on, and the inside and outside of the house were shining brightly.

Chen Xing took a photo of Iorlando standing on the podium holding a medal and carrying a bicycle, and without saying goodbye again, Chen Xing went back to the town directly.

All the young people in the town went to watch the excitement, and the only ones left in the town were some middle-aged people working and old people sitting at the door.

When Chen Xing was photographing one of the old people, he suddenly turned to look at Chen Xing.

"Hello?" Chen Xing greeted in English.

After all, many people here don't speak English, so it doesn't hurt to try it out.

If it is really impossible to communicate, Chen Xing will delete the photo in front of him at worst.

But soon he got a response from the old man, he said: "Hello, are you taking pictures of me?"

"Yes, the photos are beautiful."

Chen Xing hurried over to turn out the photo and show it to the old man.

Hasselblad’s camera is almost invincible in color, and it is real and beautiful when it is straight out. The old man is also very happy. Maybe he feels bored when talking like this, so he lifted the black hat of the down jacket and said to Chen Xing:

"I haven't taken such a beautiful photo for many years, can you help me develop it?"

"Is there a place to develop photos here?"

"This...no."

He sighed, and looked at the photo taken by Chen Xing again, feeling a little bit reluctant.

"Are your children home? I can show them this picture."

"They all work in the city and I can't remember their phone numbers... Forget it, I'm so old and it's useless to have a photo."

"You're not too old." Chen Xing said a polite remark.

In fact, he is very old, old and thin, and there are many age spots on his face that cannot be removed.

He made up his mind not to take this photo, he was afraid to trouble Chen Xing, but Chen Xing agreed on the surface, and he still thought that he could print it in Reykjavik and send it to this place, so he specially wrote down this The house number of the room.

He also found out the old man's name, which was Ramirez.

"By the way, Mr. Ramirez, are there any hotels or rooms available nearby?" Chen Xing asked suddenly.

He came late and couldn't find a room.

This is also normal. Of the more than 2000 tourists who came to watch the game, if only half of them left after watching the game, there are still [-] people left here, which makes the houses in the town particularly tense.

After all, this is just a small town with a population of 800.

"Accommodation...may not be easy to find." Ramirez said slowly after thinking.

Just when Chen Xing was thinking about finding a car to go back to Reykjavik as soon as possible, Mr. Ramirez said the second sentence slowly: "But if you don't mind, you can walk a few kilometers to the river. Go to live in a hotel nearby, there are generally not too many people here."

After Chen Xing asked a few more questions, he realized why the hotel the old man mentioned was a few kilometers away from the town.

Because he is an attraction.

This town is small, but it is also a city, and a town with a population of 800 is not small in Iceland. It is normal to have one or two scenic spots around it.The place the old man mentioned is one of the attractions called Glacier.

There is a hotel inside the scenic spot. The advantage is that the scenic spot is outside the window of the bedroom. The scenery is good, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive.

Chen Xing wanted to stay in Iceland until Christmas, and he had a lot of time. Now that he had left Reykjavik, he didn't want to go back to the city so soon.After a little hesitation, he decided to stay at the hotel the old man mentioned today.

It doesn't matter if it's expensive, it doesn't matter how many kilometers, and a few kilometers of walking is not a warm-up for him.

While walking and shooting, the light source disappeared when he walked out of the town, and it became dark in front of his eyes. Chen Xing quickly took out a flashlight that was not too bright.

Use this flashlight to walk at night without blinding your eyes to other places in the dark.

The stars in the sky flicker and flicker, and the clouds move quickly.

The wind on the highway was very strong, and the part of Chen Xing's exposed face seemed to be slapped by the wind, and it was still very cold.If he took out his mobile phone to take pictures at this time, then Chen Xing must not be able to hear what Chen Xing himself was saying in the screen, only the rumors could be heard.

Chen Xing was a little scared, and wondered if he shouldn't come out, or would it be better to go back to Reykjavik with the car?

Even if you live in Ai's room.

But Chen Xing felt that Ai would probably bring one or two girls back to the room from the party today, so he couldn't interfere with his friends' good deeds.

Silent sigh.

An SUV drove up from behind. The driver saw Chen Xing walking alone on the road, so he slowed down the car, opened the window and asked:
"My friend, where are you going alone?"

"Glacier Scenic Area."

"you alone?"

"Yes, I came to watch the mountain bike competition, but the hotels in the town are full, and even the living rooms of private houses are full of people. I heard people say that I might be able to find a room in the Glacier Scenic Area, so I remembered Go and have a look."

"That's it." The driver understood, and said, "Then you can get in my car. Although I can't take you to the scenic spot, I can still help you on the few roads."

After thanking Chen Xing, he got into the car.

The wind is isolated from the outside, and the small lights and air conditioner are turned on in the car, and the comfort level will be full at once.

It's a few kilometers away by car. When the driver stopped the car, he was next to the gate of the scenic spot. From a distance, Chen Xing saw a house with lights on.

There is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, if you suddenly see a wooden house in the wilderness, the house is lit and looks peaceful, surrounded by the chirping of insects or even the singing of birds, as well as the rustling of leaves.

Everything is normal, right?

But there was a trace of fear in my heart, as if there was some danger hidden in such an environment.

However, if you see such a lighted log cabin in the silent ice and snow world, you will not feel any fear at this time, but it will make people feel very warm.

Chen Xing didn't know why this phenomenon happened.

But really interesting.

This wooden house is relatively big. After all, it is a hotel in the scenic area. There are many cars parked at the door. It seems that Chen Xing is not the only person who comes to stay here.

After walking for a while, when he reached the wooden house, Chen Xing saw through the glass window almost two-thirds of the tables filled with guests. Some of these people were just chatting and playing poker, and some were already eating, maybe People who just watched the game did not eat at noon.

It was three o'clock now, and the sky was not as dark as before, but it was still gloomy.

I went in and asked the front desk, luckily there was still a room.

Just after checking in, a child holding a telescope and looking at the glacier in the distance shouted loudly: "Seal! I saw a seal!"

Many people looked towards the glacier at this time, but many people did not see where the seal was.

Chen Xing saw it.

Altitude was ejected from underwater to an ice floe, and there was another seal not far from him, also on the ice floe.

The most famous attraction of the glacier is the floating ice, which looks like a honeycomb in the sky piece by piece. This environment attracts many seals to live here.

What?You said that seals live in the sea, but are there any in the river?

The water in the Norwegian river is sea water, separated by a small sea area. Isn’t the water in the Icelandic river not sea water?
Although it looks like glacier water, it is connected to the ocean, so it is not surprising that there are seals. If the estuary is not a little narrower, maybe you can see whales here. (end of this chapter)
