然而，对城堡的文化和历史并不熟悉。
突然想起妹妹，建筑师对城堡不陌生。
什么是城堡？
Originally, a castle was a fortress built to protect
strategic locations from enemy attack or to serve as a military
base for invading armies. The earliest castles in Europe were
constructed of earthwork and timber. Dating as far back as the 9th
century, these early structures were often built over ancient Roman
foundations.
Over the
next three centuries, wooden forts evolved into imposing stone
walls with narrow windows and high parapets. By the 13th century,
lofty stone towers were popping up across
Europe.
People
seeking protection from invading armies built villages around
established castles. Local nobility took the safest residences for
themselves -- inside the castle walls. Castles became homes, and
also served as important political centers.
As Europe
moved into the Renaissance, the role of castles became divided.
Some were used as military fortresses, and were controlled by a
monarch. Others were unfortified palaces, mansions, or manor homes
and served no military function.
Although
Europe and Great Britain are famous for their castles, imposing
fortresses and grand palaces have played an important role in most
countries around the world. Japan is home to many impressive
castles. Even the United States claims hundreds of modern "castles"
built by wealthy businessmen.
从喷泉的一端走向另一端，要走在铺着石子的人行道上。
很喜欢这样灰白色的小石头，但因为穿这高跟鞋，走的比较吃力。
如果不是来参加庆典晚宴，我想我会把鞋子脱掉，赤脚走在石子铺成的路上，感觉一定不错：）
17花园中的小石子是紫红色的，但不知道这颜色是否是天然的？
18今天，农历五月初四，明天五月五，端午节。
比较喜欢吃糯米做的食品，自然也喜欢粽子。
今年还没有见到粽子，这张图片是去年拍的，
借此祝朋友们端午节快乐！天天都有好心情！
刚才翻开写在去年5月31日的一篇文章——“端午节”，依然是同样的感想。
