Linderhof

(2008-09-28 12:36:49) 下一个

在新天鹅城堡的建造中,Ludwig把自己狂热的梦想主义发挥到了极致,也因此把自己的国库逼到了倾家荡产的边缘,工程频频财政告急,直到他逝世,很多房间都没有来得及装修。

掩映在青山之间的Linderhof,一开始只是Ludwig的一个小猎宫,随着不断地扩建,Ludwig对这个小行宫的兴趣越来越浓,Linderhof最后成为他数个城堡中唯一完全竣工的,也是装修最为奢华的。国王卧室里的巨大的彩色陶瓷镜子极其精美,还有灿烂夺目的镜室。在餐厅里,他很有创意地设计了可以升降的餐桌,客人们用完一道菜以后,桌子会下沉到楼下佣人的厨房里,立即清理,重新上下一道菜,然后再升上来,这样主客都可以不受佣人的穿梭打扰。

但是我最喜欢的,还是城堡外面的优美风景。设计者巧妙地利用了城堡的山势,花园,层叠式喷泉和雕塑完美地相互衬托,让人流连忘返。

城堡前面。以古神话的人物作为装饰,细节富丽堂皇。顶端是被宙斯惩罚而背着天球的Atlas。

城堡后面,山坡顶上,是绿色的Music Pavilion,层叠世的人工泉水从那里缓缓泄下,最低处,是海神和他的马群。拍照片的时候,好不容易等到人都走完了,但是这个小姑娘久久地站在那里不肯离去,不知道是什么吸引了她,呵呵,就把她一起拍进去了。

在人工泉水的两边,四尊女神雕像,各占两边,代表欧亚非美四大洲,有趣的是,亚洲和欧洲的女神像,衣着华丽讲究,而美洲非洲的两个女神,则是身体半裸,书里介绍说,这代表了当时欧洲对civilised continents 和 new continents的区别。

城堡花园规划很严谨,非常对称,各有相对应的喷泉,花卉,绿色长廊,和雕塑。西面的喷泉是一个叫做Fama的女神像,站在地球上。书里说,Fama代表着“传言”,真假难辨,用她的号角把真真假假的话语传播在人世间,只有真正有智慧的人,才能分辨。

东面对应的喷泉,是丘比特,他手中的弓不知道为什么没有了,只有潺潺的水柱代替他的箭。和对面的谣言女神带来真假传言一样,丘比特的箭,不止带来爱的甜蜜,也带来爱的痛苦。

Ludwig特别要求的深蓝色的意大利花瓷雕塑。

花园里的雕塑都有着各自的意义,让人深思。比如西边的花园,四尊雕像分别代表着四季,也代表了人从盛年到衰老的阶段。春天是美丽年轻的女子,冬天则是低头沉思的老人。

城堡前的喷泉,定时升起。

V0000427 by you.

喷泉中的雕像,Flora,代表着花卉和春天的女神。

水池的四周,分别站着代表这一天不同时间的女神,morning, midday, evening 和night. Ludwig把这些细节都想到了,在这个小小城堡中,他是自己的国王,梦想着掌握着世界的时间,元素(水火土),季节。

从城堡通过两边对称的绿色长廊,可以到达山坡顶上的音乐凉亭。脚下细细的沙粒,山上的凉风,还有耳边的鸟鸣,国王的生活毕竟是不同啊,呵呵。

从音乐凉亭,可以俯瞰整个城堡和周边的花园,还有远处让人屏息的山景。
如果是秋天来的话,满山红叶,一定更美。
一对老夫妇精神矍铄,让人羡慕,偷偷拍照一张,呵呵。
音乐凉亭名不符实,书里说,Ludwig从来不在这里听音乐,相反在深夜的时候,这里会架起书桌和椅子,国王在月光下阅读历史和科技书籍,很酷呵。

城堡对面的维纳斯花园正在维修,很可惜不能进去。就只能仰头看看蓝天下优雅的女神像了。

(=^y^=) 回复 悄悄话 LF,

We went to Munich and Bavarian 10 years ago. I really enjoyed the richness fo the land and breathtaking views of the mountains. Thanks again for sharing the photos. They bring back such sweet memories.

albert88 回复 悄悄话 风格有点像凡尔赛宫,但起伏地势和满目苍翠使得这个城堡独具特色。
落花妹妹的摄影和解说都很好,诗情画意啊
纵然平行 回复 悄悄话 Granted, I am neither a photography buff, nor having the credentials to be an artistic critic, but I do think that your pictures did a good job to capture the essence of pulchritude under September sky in Bavaria, Germany.

As we may know, the definition of beauty can be quite subjective, let along be elusive to our often overloaded eyes time to time, But, the common consensus is beauties do exist in our lives. The question often is being asked is “Can we discover them and make the connection ?” To me, your tasteful photos have answered that satisfactorily.

However, I do have a small complain. It seems to me that certain physical quality that delights the mind and sense which had been crafted in the figures of “Venus”and “Fama” was 'accidentally' blocked or‘deliberately’censored in your pictures. :(. Maybe, that is because beauty is in eyes of beholder, I assume :).

Thank you much for your time and efforts to share.

Appreciated.

dadaland 回复 悄悄话 从长廊走上音乐凉亭~~~
落花飘零 回复 悄悄话 appleflower,i strongly suggest you go without tour group, so that you can adjust the trip according to your interest, the weather and other factors, unless you have very limited time.

most germans speak very decent english, better than i do at least, so i didn't have trouble getting around.

when i have time, i will summarize my schedule, but please keep in mind that my trip was very layback and i didn't go other cities at all, most people won't consider this is wise.
AppleFlower 回复 悄悄话 LuoHua,

I actually just recently got back from visiting Europe as well. I was never interested in visiting Germany until I saw your pictures. Now, I want to go too. :) Please do share with us how you planned your trip. Am I correct that you went independently? (I mean without a tour group.) Was it easy getting around Germany?
落花飘零 回复 悄悄话 很高兴你要去阿,希望你喜欢那里,回来多交流。等我有空写个流水账总结。
Aprilwind 回复 悄悄话 嗯,这差不多是我的下一度假之地了.谢谢分享.
落花飘零 回复 悄悄话 appleflower, i did, i loved every minute of it!

影子,走在那条长廊上,真的感觉很舒服的,国王毕竟是会享受啊,呵呵
sunshadow 回复 悄悄话 喜欢那张走廊两边都是ivy的~~~
