The next time you visit Ahmedabad, in India, make sure you visit the Poseidon Underwater Restaurant! This is India’s first undersea diner which has been carved within the earth’s belly, 20 feet below ground level.
下次你去印度艾哈迈达巴德市的时候,一定要到新开的“海神水下餐厅”去看看!这是印度第一家水下餐厅,它是沿着地球的凸起部分,在里面创建的。该餐厅建在20英尺(约6米)深的地下。
The restaurant has generated a lot of interest already, with 150 booking only on the first day. The boss said it was his son who came up with the idea to make the underwater restaurant. Initially their designs were rejected, however, perseverance won and the restaurant became a reality.
这家餐厅已经引起了众多关注,开业第一天就有150人预定。餐厅老板说是他的儿子提议建这个水下餐厅的。一开始,他们的设计总是被否决,后来,凭着他们的执着,水下餐厅变成了现实。
美女与鲨鱼水下和谐共舞
Photographer Benjamin Von Wong, 29, from Montreal, Canada, tied up with his model Amber Bourke in a shark-infested cave in Fiji for stunning underwater shoot to prove that humans can co-exist in harmony with the oft-misunderstood creature.
来自加拿大蒙特利尔的29岁摄影师本杰明·冯·王联合自己的模特安布尔·博尔克在斐济一个鲨鱼出没的洞穴中拍摄了一组令人拍案叫绝的水下摄影作品,以此证明人类是可以同这种常常被误解的生物和谐共处的。
To shoot these amazing photos, Benjamin teamed up with Tourism Fiji and an environmental organization called the Barefoot Collection, which provided him with a full crew of divers and a shark expert. Benjamin and his team have met a lot of unpredictable difficulties throughout the whole process. Luckily, they have overcome all of them and the adventure was undoubtedly a success. The images have highlighted the sharks’ natural allure as well as advocated for protection for sharks.
为了拍摄这些精彩的照片,本杰明联合了斐济旅游局以及一个叫“赤脚收集”的环保组织,它们为其提供了一个由若干潜水员和一名鲨鱼专家组成的完整小组。本杰明同他的小组成员在整个拍摄过程中遇到了许多意想不到的困难。幸运的是,他们克服了所有困难,而这次冒险无疑非常成功。这些照片凸显了鲨鱼的自然魅力,同时也提倡了对鲨鱼的保护。
In addition to his images, Benjamin also created a Change.org petition asking for more shark sanctuaries.
除了照片之外,本杰明还在Change.org网站上发起了一项寻求建造更多鲨鱼保护区的请愿活动。
