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,長久以來,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。
