Porvoo , Finland 芬兰波尔沃 : 点点的枣红色 The Red Shore Houses On The River Bank

点点的枣红色

岸边那点点的枣红色

洒红了滴滴的清水涧

极像那乐高的小房屋

萌起了未泯的幼童心

仰望

那沿岸枣红的小木屋

映红

那含羞答答的小古镇

不想

付托于繁华的摩天楼

只愿

栖息于简朴的乐高屋

The Red Shore Houses On The River Bank

The red shore houses dotted the river bank

Splashing colour onto the quiet flow

Like the Lego houses of wooden plank

Opening the kiddie heart with pleasant glow

Not craving for the skyscrapers surge

mushrooming in the bustling crown

But yearning for the red shore houses merge

comfortably at the edge of a humble town

Comment :  The red shore houses on the river bank of  Borga a Porvoonjoki is a highlight of Porvoo. According to sources, red ochre paint was used to paint the shore houses in the late 18th century in honour of King Gustav III's arrival. All of the houses along his route were painted in order to make them look more beautiful. It was also said that the red ochre also helped protect the logs from wind and sun damage. These red shore houses have indeed added colour and charm to the small town of Porvoo.

地点 ： 芬兰波尔沃

交通 ： 从赫尔辛基搭巴士，为时1小时 （ 11.80 欧元 ）

评语 ：波尔沃河边的小红屋是波尔沃最吸引游客的地点。 当

时为了迎接古斯塔夫王三世，把沿河一带的屋子漆上了红色。

也有说红漆能保护屋子的木，不被风吹雨打破坏。这些小红屋

的确给了不少的光彩于这古老的小镇。
