仙人掌、约书亚树与沙漠星空，约书亚树国家公园半日游 | Cactus, Joshua Trees & Desert Stargazing - Joshua Tree National Park

Joshua Tree National Park 距离我们家不到两个小时车程，是离我们最近的国家公园。 我之前和 Gabby 去年曾经来这里露营和观星，留下了非常美好的回忆。这次 Gabby 的妈妈第一次来美国，我们也特地安排了一个 Joshua Tree 的半日游，带她看看独特的沙漠生态景观。 这次我们去了 Cholla Cactus Garden，下午的阳光把仙人掌照得金黄金黄。这一段画面是用 Gabby 妈妈的华为手机拍的，她自己都说看起来像旅游卫视的节目（笑）。我们在这里停留了大约 40 分钟，拍了很多照片，Gabby 还现场教学，教我一边摆动作一边拍照。 日落之后，我们开车前往 Ryan Campground。这是约书亚树国家公园里可以露营过夜的营地之一，也是我们上一次露营和观星的地方。营地周围有很多巨石和约书亚树，夜晚非常安静，是一个很适合看星星的地方。 可惜的是，这一晚的天气条件不太理想，没有看到像上次那样的满天星空。所以我也放了一些上一次露营时拍到的星空照片。那次真的是我人生第一次用肉眼看到银河，用 iPhone 15 Pro 设置 10 秒曝光就能拍到满天星星。我们还用三脚架尝试了一些超长曝光的“光影艺术”，也一并分享给大家。 Joshua Tree National Park is less than a two-hour drive from our home, making it the closest national park to us. Gabby and I visited here last year for camping and stargazing, and the experience was unforgettable. This time, since Gabby’s mom is visiting the U.S. for the first time, we planned a half-day trip to Joshua Tree to show her the unique desert landscape. We started at Cholla Cactus Garden, where the cacti looked especially golden under the afternoon sunlight. This footage was filmed with Gabby’s mom’s Huawei phone — she even said it looked like a travel TV show. We spent about 40 minutes there taking photos, and Gabby coached me on how to pose while shooting. After sunset, we drove to Ryan Campground, one of the campgrounds inside Joshua Tree National Park where overnight camping is allowed. This is also where we camped last time. Surrounded by massive boulders and Joshua trees, the area is extremely quiet at night and perfect for stargazing. Unfortunately, the weather conditions weren’t ideal that night, so we didn’t get the same star-filled sky as before. To make up for it, I included some night sky photos from our previous trip. That was the first time in my life I could see the Milky Way with my naked eyes. With just a 10-second exposure on the iPhone 15 Pro, we captured stunning star photos. We also used a tripod for long exposures to create some light trail shots, which I’m happy to share with you. #socal #美国 #learnchinese #travel #南加州 #nationalpark #joshuatreenationalpark #cholla
