I LOVE WOLLATON PARK(2009-06-14 03:12:07)

天气很好,我和海燕步行去了WOLLATON PARK,没想到这公园这么好,里面有高尔夫球场,两个博物馆 - natural history museum和 industry museum,还有很多大片的草坪,上面有两种鹿,有刚会走路的可爱的小孩子们,有松鼠,有狗 (虽然门口写着禁止狗入内,可能怕吓到鹿吧,但还是有很多人带狗来这里玩),很难想象这么好的地方竟然是免费开放的,这在中国是根本不可能的事,不是我重洋媚外,这点中国真的是没法比。

从寝室走到公园里基本要40分钟,顶着大太阳啊,哎,不过锻炼下身体也不错,由于公园很大,我们开始还误闯入高尔夫球场,还影响了人家打球,哈哈,原谅我们哈,嘿嘿,这里面的这种鹿是怕人的,我们靠近它,它就跑开,真是不乖,姐姐又不会吃了你们,额。。小时侯貌似还真是吃过鹿肉,罪过啊,,,这鹿没角的,丑!不过算可爱型的。。。

自己带了自己的小帽帽,偷了海燕的墨镜,这一整下自己开始装bi,谁知这树这么上镜,竟然比我还抢眼,哎,这世道。。。仍然在球场内,总是在干扰人家打球,呼呼。。。对不住啦

发现自己爱上这姿势,最新的夏式拍照姿势。。。继续装bi,怎么样,超级无敌乱cool吧。。。这条林荫大道还真是长,走得无穷无尽的,累死我们俩也。话说我们从寝室到公园已经很远,又在这无尽头的公园里暴走,不愧是暴走族的人那。

经过一番暴走后,我们终于来到了正常的草坪休息处,里面竟然有成群的梅花鹿哎,而且它们都不怕人,和上面那种鹿截然不同,老可爱了,一个个都在专心地吃草,你怎么样打扰它们呼唤它们,它们都不会理你,继续吃草,哎,这群家伙,就知道吃,这么一说和某人还真是像啊!瞧这只鹿,不但不合群还不合作,我拼命呼唤它,它连头也不理下,难道是见到外国美女害羞了一下下,嘿嘿,姐姐我顿时发彪了,撅着小嘴,嘿嘿,不过还蛮可爱的,不要说我自恋啊,这年头自恋是种fashion,hoho。其实自己也真够傻的,这是我独特的style吧,hoho。

“Wollaton Hall is a country house standing on a small but prominent hill in Wollaton, Nottingham, England. Wollaton Park is the area of parkland that the stately house stands in. The house itself is a natural history museum, with other museums in the out-buildings. The surrounding land is regularly used for large scale outdoor events such as rock concerts and festivals.”

 

“It was started in 1580 and completed in 1588 for Sir Francis Willoughby (1547-1596) and is believed to be by the Elizabethan architect, Robert Smythson (also the architect of Hardwick Hall). The building is of Ancaster stone from Lincolnshire, and is said to have been paid for with coal from the Wollaton pits owned by Sir Francis. Cassandra Willoughby, Duchess of Chandos recorded in 1702 that the master workmen, and some of the statuary, were brought from Italy. The decorative but ludicrous stone gondola mooring rings carved on the exterior walls offer some evidence of this, as do other architectural features. There are also obvious French and Dutch influences.

 

The building consists of a high central hall, surrounded by four towers. Unfortunately, a fire caused damage to Smythson's interior decoration of some of the ground floor rooms, however little structural damage occurred. Remodelling was carried out by Sir Jeffry Wyattville in 1801 and continued on and off until the 1830s.

 

The gallery of the main hall contains Nottinghamshire's oldest pipe organ, thought to date from the end of the seventeenth century, possibly by the builder Gerard Smith. It is still blown by hand. Paintings on the ceilings and one wall are attributed to Verrio or his assistant Laguerre. Directly over the main hall is a 'prospect room' from which there are extensive views of the Park. Beneath the hall are many cellars and passages, and a well and associated reservoir tank, in which an admiral of the family apparently took a daily bath.

 

The Willoughbys were noted for the number of explorers produced by the family, most famously Sir Hugh Willoughby who died in the Arctic in 1554 attempting a North East route to Cathay. According to a correspondence in the Nottingham Evening Post,as late as the 1920s family member Commander J.S.Draw, together with Professor E.J.Velassi, brought back a number of penguins from an Antarctic expedition, which lived happily by the park lake for a number of years.

 

Now owned by the Nottingham City Council, the Hall houses Nottingham City Museum & Galleries Natural History Collections whilst the stable block contains the Industrial Collections.

The hall reopened on Saturday 8 April 2007 after being closed for refurbishment. The prospect room at the top of the house, and the kitchens in the basement, were opened up for the public to visit, though this must be done on one of the escorted tours. The latter can be booked on the day, last about an hour, and a small charge is made.”

妈呀,忽然想拍张在丛中的照,不小心被什么弄了下,一根指头疼疼的,现在没事了。开始还在象摄影家似的指挥海燕这样那样的,真到自己上马了,啥也不会了,所以教练以后在训练学生时对学生好些,因为你们当学生也未必就能做得好!口上功夫谁不会呀,哈哈哈,扯远了扯远啦。

WOLLATON PARK另一大吸引力就是每天里面有很多可爱的小朋友玩耍,外国小朋友真幸福啊,每天有草坪博物馆看啊玩啊的,也不用钱,从小就做好了启蒙教育,中国政府也该学学嘛,多开放些有意义的公园啊博物馆啊,不要处处都要门票,understand?!嘿嘿,嚣张了下下。这些小孩很可爱,其中我们观察了一个最可爱的小男生,不是图上的这个,他刚会走,走走摔摔,可爱死了,忽然想起自己小时候了,胖胖的,也经常摔交,但很可爱,嘿嘿。小男生的爸爸可幸福了,有个调皮的儿子,还有个听话乖巧的女儿,他细心地照顾着两个孩子,像个母亲,这样的男人真有魅力,我喜欢,哈哈!还记得我在火车上遇到的那个小女孩,也是爸爸细心的呵护着,好温馨好幸福啊,那高大的身材,那厚实的肩膀,好有安全感,,,想老爸啦,他的大肚肚。。。不过外国爸爸好会教育孩子哦,他们会陪孩子们在草坪上一起嬉闹,他们会陪孩子去博物馆,给他们讲解些小知识,虽然孩子们可能根本没在听,他们也会严厉起来,好帅气的。。。

 

你说这太阳,我们路程中它就艳阳高照着,我们真正要拍照了它开始藏起来了,等我们累了回去了,它又开始高照,气死啦,你小子纯跟姐姐我作对是吧?!没关系,姐姐我淡定着呢,以后还要去一次,拍拍照片,打算拿个大桌布野餐,那种感觉很好,下次顺便在那买个冰激凌吃吃,hoho。SEE YOU LATER。。
