时间之旅(Voyage of Time)
在美国犹他州东南部偏远的峡谷中,国家自然桥梁纪念碑揭示了侵蚀和时间流逝的力量。它由风和水塑造,拥有三座令人印象深刻的天然桥梁:Sipapu、Kachina和Owachomo。这些桥梁的名字是为了纪念居住在该地区的祖先人民。Sipapu是最大的,它的开口如此之大,以至于可以容纳巴塞罗那的神圣家族圆顶。照片中可见的Kachina位于Sipapu和Owachomo之间。它的名字来自装饰其底部的岩画和象形文字。Owachomo是最古老的,它细长的拱形结构可能会随着时间的推移而倒塌。

In a remote canyon in southeastern Utah, the National Natural Bridge Monument reveals the power of erosion and the passage of time. It is shaped by wind and water and features three impressive natural bridges: Sipapu, Kachina, and Owachomo. The names of these bridges are in honor of the ancestral people who lived in the region. Sipapu is the largest, with an opening so large that it can accommodate Barcelona's Holy Family dome. The visible Kachina in the photo is located between Sipapu and Owachomo. Its name comes from the rock paintings and hieroglyphs that decorate its bottom. Owachomo is the oldest, and its slender arched structure may collapse over time.
