Ruins, from ancient temples to 17th century fortresses, have long fascinated us. Their crumbling beauty attests to past generations, lost cultures, and an ever-changing world where nothing lasts forever.
從遠(yuǎn)古的寺廟到17世紀(jì)的城堡，長(zhǎng)久以來(lái)，廢墟令我們深深著迷。它們那殘缺的美向我們印證著已經(jīng)過(guò)去的年代、已然消逝 的文明，讓我們知道世界一直在變，沒有什么能永恒存在。

With the rise of aerial drones, we now have a fresh perspective on ruins, lending a new sense of awe to what remains. Take for example this incredible shot by Mark Cunich submitted to SkyPixel, a community for aerial photographers and filmmakers. The arresting view shows off Sigiriya, a 1,600-year-old rock fortress in Sri Lanka that dramatically rises 660 feet above the forest floor.
隨著無(wú)人機(jī)航拍的興起，我們現(xiàn)在可以從全新的視角俯瞰廢墟，對(duì)殘存的景觀心生全新的敬畏之情。比如，下面這張不可思議的照 片——它是馬克·楚尼奇上交給“天空之城”（航拍攝影師和制片人社區(qū)）的一幅作品——就展現(xiàn)了錫吉里耶的壯觀美景，那是斯里蘭卡一座有1600年歷史的石堡，驚人地屹立于森林之上660英尺高處。

2. Ruins of an ancient castle in Slawikow, Poland
波蘭斯拉維克瓦的古堡廢墟

Aerial photographer Witold Jermolowicz captured this overhead shot of an abandoned castle in Poland using a DJI drone equipped with an FC350 camera. As evidenced by the photo, the forest is now right at home inside the castle walls.
航拍攝影師維托德·勒莫洛維茲用DJI無(wú)人機(jī)和FC350攝像機(jī)從空中俯拍了波蘭的一座廢棄城堡。從照片上可以看出，現(xiàn)在森林已經(jīng)占據(jù)了城墻內(nèi)部。

3．The ruins of the Ixmoja Pyramid at Coba
科巴的伊克斯摩雅金字塔廢墟

What remains of the Ixmoja Pyramid in the ancient Mayan city of Coba, Mexico, emerges from the jungle in this beautiful shot from photographer Dave Wiley. Ixmoja, a pyramid you can climb, is the tallest in the region and offers spectacular views of the rain forest.
在攝影師戴夫·韋利這張美麗的照片中，我們看到墨西哥科巴瑪雅古城內(nèi)的伊克斯摩雅金字塔廢墟被叢林密密環(huán)繞著。伊克斯摩雅是一座你可以攀爬的金字塔，也是該區(qū)域的至高點(diǎn)，從那里可以看到壯美的雨林景觀。

4．Abandoned theme park in Japan
日本的廢棄主題公園

Nara Dreamland in Japan is one of many abandoned amusement parks around the world permanently closed and left for nature to consume. As this shot from aerial photographer Jordy Meow shows, the brush and trees in only a decade's time are starting to claim portions of the park's roller coaster.
日本奈良?jí)粝胧澜缰黝}公園是世界上諸多被廢棄的游樂園之一，它已永久關(guān)閉，被大自然占領(lǐng)。從航拍攝影師喬迪·米歐這張照片中可以看到，在短短十年間，草木植物就已在過(guò)山車上安了家。

5．The remains of Olsztyn Castle in Poland
波蘭的奧爾斯丁城堡廢墟

Photographer Witold Jermolowicz captured another gorgeous ruin in Poland, this time of a cliffside 14th-century castle overlooking the village of Olsztyn. Abandoned in 1665, it remains an attractive tourist destination thanks to its idyllic setting and impressive, free-standing prison tower.
攝影師維托德·勒莫洛維茲還拍攝了另一處壯麗的波蘭廢墟，這回是懸崖邊一座俯瞰奧爾斯丁村莊的14世紀(jì)古堡。它在1665后就被廢棄了，此后一直是一處旅游勝地，因?yàn)樗笠缰鴿鉂獾奶飯@風(fēng)，還有令人印象深刻的獨(dú)棟監(jiān)獄塔樓。

6．The ruins of Kos Island, Greece
希臘科斯島廢墟

Kos Island in Greece is littered with beautiful monuments and ruins, reflecting its use throughout antiquity as an important trading center. As aerial photographer Andrea Leone shows in this image, to get a clear picture of the layout of some ruins, sometimes it's best to view them from above.
廢棄的科斯島上有很多漂高的石碑和遺跡，說(shuō)明它在古代曾被用作重要的交易中心。從航拍攝影師安德里亞·利昂這張照片中可以看出，要想得到一些廢墟的清晰布局圖，有時(shí)候最好用俯拍。

7．The hollow beauty of the Chateau de la Ferte-Vidame
維達(dá)姆城堡的空寂之美

Aerial photographer Emmanuel Bégué captured the overhead ruins of the Chateau de la Ferte-Vidame, an abandoned 14th century estate outside Paris. While the lawn appears maintained, the once-impressive gardens have disappeared, leaving behind nothing but a footprint of their former beauty.
航拍攝影師伊曼紐爾·貝格拍下了這張維達(dá)姆城堡廢墟俯瞰圖，它是巴黎城外一座被遺棄的14世紀(jì)莊園。盡管草地看上去維護(hù)良好，但曾經(jīng)驚艷一時(shí)的花園早已消失不見，徒留往昔美景的綽約印跡。
