travel starts with photography

Chapter 357 The Lifestyle of a Landscape Photographer
Chen Xing likes tall horses. When he first learned how to ride a horse, he was at Nima Zhandui’s house in Tibet. The camel horse was more than two meters high, taller than many camels, and he found a good angle to take a picture of it. In the photo, the man on horseback looks majestic.

But in fact, it is precisely because of their height that this kind of horse has poor response, is not flexible enough, and is not as fast as other breeds of horses.

The horses in this manor are all fjord horses. Although they are only about 1.5 meters tall, they have a very good combination of waist and back, well-developed muscles, and a balanced development of explosive power and endurance.

While not as good as a modern trained English Thoroughbred or Arabian, as a riding horse, the Norwegian Fjord Horse is more than adequate.

The two were fighting each other on this track. One of the horses had just overtaken half a body, and the horses behind immediately tried their best to catch up. After running for more than ten minutes, no one had a particularly obvious advantage.

There were still people riding horses on this track before, but now they are all gone.

Keira even shouted while jumping on the side of the track: "Madam Bai!! Go! As long as you win Sorin, I will personally brush your hair at night and add food!! I will give you carrots!"

Of the two horses, only Chen Xing was riding a white horse, so it was self-evident who Mrs. Bai was talking about.

But even if she shouted again, the two competing horses probably wouldn't be able to hear her.

There were quite a few people standing outside the venue, some came out to watch the excitement after hearing the news. After all, there were indeed a lot of guests at this birthday party, and there were also the group of people Chen Xing knew before. They asked the groom to lead the horse After entering the stables, I stood on the sidelines to watch, and I was very excited.

This group of people are all young people, in their teens and twenties, the age that likes to compete.

Chen Xing and Suo Lin's horse race obviously made their blood boil.

There was also the lady who was courted by the three men just now. She was a little older than the group of friends Chen Xing knew. She was probably around 25 years old, and she didn't stand with young people.She stood alone on the side, with her right hand on her heart, and her eyes seemed to be locked, tightly focused on this game.

In twenty minutes, Chen Xing's advantage came.

The two horses still didn't feel tired. Running for half an hour in this weather was probably just a warm-up for them, and they probably felt comfortable.

But for people, riding a horse at high speed for half an hour is really tiring.

Both Chen Xing and Suo Lin are not professional horse racers, they can only be regarded as enthusiasts. Of course, their physical fitness is not as strong as athletes... But!
But Chen Xing's stamina was strengthened by the system.

He has obtained so many skills, his physical fitness is very good, and he has also gained endurance enhancement, which allows him to walk all day without sweating a few drops. How could this half-hour horse racing push his physical limit?
So when Sorin's face was red, Chen Xing's expression was still stern.

Maybe older Chinese people would think, should I save face for others when I am a guest at someone's house? After all, it is okay to win the game and lose the game, but it is not good to offend the local host.

But Chen Xing is very young, if he doesn't compete, it's enough. Now that the competition has started, he must win.

After a few minutes, Thorin couldn't take it any longer and shouted, "I've lost! Don't run away!"

Then take the initiative to rein in the horse and slow down.

The horse he was riding was dissatisfied for a while, and after neighing a few times, he reluctantly slowed down and stopped.

Chen Xing also smiled when he saw others admitting defeat. He continued to ride for half a circle, and stopped when he reached Kaila's side. He dismounted and said, "Her name is Mrs. Bai? She is such a good girl."

"Of course, she's the prettiest."

Fjord horses are all good-looking, cute and good-looking, and it is rare to see one as delicate as Mrs. Bai. The key is that they can not lose to stallions in running.

Not bad.

Chen Xing patted her neck several times, and Mrs. Bai also stomped her hooves in satisfaction, very happy.

Several friends who just met around also gathered around and said, "I really didn't expect your horse riding skills to be so good."

"Sorin lost to you, he was the proudest before."

Sorin came over with the horse and just heard it, and said with a wry smile: "Don't mention it, eh, really, the horse didn't lose, I can't hold on anymore, I have to practice my physical fitness after I go home this time, who wants to do it on weekends?" Want to go hiking together?"

"I'll go." One of the men hurriedly signed up.

Soon four people who had time gathered together.

Everyone surrounded the two horses and went to the stables. Mrs. Bai was so proud that her walking posture was almost comparable to dressage.The other horse may feel ashamed of losing the race, and keep its head down and walk as others lead it.

Horses are really smart animals. They may have a higher IQ than dogs, and their emotions are very obvious.

This is also the aspect of Chen Xing who likes horses.

With a certain level of intelligence, pets are no longer pets, but friends.

Chen Xing was still worried about whether Sorin would have an opinion on him, but he was obviously worried too early. Instead of having any opinion on him, Sorin was asking where Chen Xing learned to ride a horse, and if he had any special skills .

For example, how to ride a horse without getting tired.

Who has it?

In addition, someone asked Chen Xing why his riding posture was so handsome.

It was difficult for Chen Xing to answer this question.

He couldn't say that he learned to ride a horse just to look handsome, and the environment in the Huaxia Grassland was different from that in Europe, and some horse riding skills were also different.And generally speaking, Chen Xing is just like others commented on him before, he is a wild way.

He rides a horse very well, so he won't show off his wild ways.

Chen Xing and his group of young people were chatting. Inside the house, the matter of horse racing also aroused many discussions.

The two ran for half an hour just now, and many guests who were resting and chatting in the house also came out to watch. After all, horse racing is still very entertaining in sports, and it is not inferior to the track and field events in the sports meeting.

Even if he couldn't come out, he still took a few glances in front of the window.

Chen Xing, who had just been invited by Keira, immediately became the center of everyone's discussion.

"I'm still a Chinese. I don't know if it's from the grassland. I heard that only the grassland people in China are better at riding horses."

"I have been to Huaxia, and they still have many horse farms in the north."

"Huaxia is also getting stronger. I saw on the Internet that their cities are not losing to Oslo at all, and not one or two cities are like this."

He didn't even dare to say that he thought Huaxia's cities were better.

Europeans like to travel very much, which should have something to do with the small size of their countries. There is even a large part of northern Europe that is uncultivable and inhabitable glaciers, as well as the frightening polar night.

Therefore, when winter comes, people in Northern Europe like to go out for a walk.

In the past, everyone didn't want to go to Huaxia. After all, Huaxia was so demonized at that time. For their own safety, many people would not dare to go to Huaxia even if they traveled to Southeast Asia.

But now that the Internet has developed, more and more Chinese people are surfing the Internet. Gradually, more and more Chinese national conditions that do not conform to the propaganda appear on the international network.

Only then did people realize that Huaxia is such a developed country that welcomes foreigners with a low crime rate.

Therefore, there has been a "Chinese fever" in Northern Europe in recent years. Even if they have never been there, they will take the initiative to learn about some Chinese attractions, such as Rongcheng, Mountain City, Yanjing...

Yes, for many Europeans, Rongcheng is the place they most want to go, not Yanjing Shanghai.

"Although Kayla is naughty, she still has an eye for making friends."

"Haha, she has been living with her grandfather a few years ago. When I picked her up this year, I was worried that she would not adapt to the rhythm of Oslo, but she really gave me a surprise. She is worthy of being a child of the Olaf family."

…………

When Chen Xing and the others returned to the big house, the strange and puzzled eyes he expected did not appear, but instead they were friendly, encouraging eyes, and even some children's admiration.

Norwegians are very fond of sports, whether it is ice sports or physical sports.

Even if they can't play ice sports in Oslo, they will still take time to climb the mountain. There are rumors that every Norwegian family has a house on the mountain. The Danes often say that the Norwegians are "monkeys on the mountain". From this we can see their spirit of love for sports.

Horse racing is also a sport they like very much. Chen Xing's demeanor just now really impressed many people.

As soon as Keira came back, she was taken to change clothes. As the protagonist of today's birthday party, her parents and elders would never allow a Nordic lady to appear at this grand birthday party in a masculine attire.

Sorin led Chen Xing to a window on the second floor, he said.

"This is the most beautiful window in this house. Of course, this is my personal feeling. What do you think?"

"Well, it's really good."

This window is located in the corridor on the second floor. Looking out from here, you can see the boundless Oslo Fjord, which is really like the sea. There is also a looming island in the distance, shaped like a turtle.

"What island is that?"

"Can you see the island? Where?" Thorin looked around in front of the window, seeing nothing.

Chen Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "That may be because your eyesight is too poor."

"Maybe... But if you can see the island, it should be Nakkholmen. This is a small tourist island with shops and hotels. I went there a few years ago, but I don't know if it's still open now."

In fact, there is another county on the opposite side of this fjord, so there is no need to tell Chen Xing about it, Suo Lin is sure that Chen Xing is not seeing this county.

Otherwise, it would be too outrageous, even with a telescope, you can't see the shadow on the other side.

At this time, someone shouted: "Sorin, Xing, come down and have a drink together."

Norway has implemented a strict alcohol prohibition law for minors. Once more than ten years of depression broke out in adulthood, it cannot be suppressed. At parties in Norway, some young people in their 20s are often seen drinking wildly.

Sorin promised to go soon.

Chen Xing followed slowly, and used his mobile phone to navigate to find the island he saw.

Wow, that's really far.

Can I see it so clearly now?

Nakkholmen is an uninhabited island, but the uninhabited island does not mean that there is no one on it. There are many holiday cottages for Oslo people, as well as hotels and shops for tourists, but the score is slightly low. Many foreign tourists said that they could not pass normally. Go to the top to play.

One of the comments read: "You need to find a friend who lives in Oslo, preferably with a yacht at home, preferably with your own chalet on it, so that you can really experience the island holiday life.

If you are a tourist, the service and convenience of the hotel will drive you crazy, friends, if you want to go here, you need to know that this is just a normal seaside hotel, no beach service, No bikini girls, no bikini girls! "

He said this twice.

Looking for a bikini on a Nordic beach?

I'm afraid it's not crazy.

If you want to see bikinis, go to Hawaii, or Bali, or even Huaxia Hainan Island, which is more reliable than the Nordic islands.

Noticing someone walking towards him, Chen Xing put away his phone.

From the moment he entered the house, he met many people who greeted him. Some people pointed at his horse riding movements, and some people liked his free and unconstrained style of horse racing.

But the people who came to say hello this time were different from the previous ones.

Is she a beautiful woman who looks like a big sister?

correct!

Yamato Nadeko.

The woman in front of me is just like the most ideal woman in the island culture. Just looking at her smile makes me feel very gentle. Her figure is also different from the protruding style of modern young people. It is very sensual. But not the feeling of being fat.

Just right—the word flashed through Chen Xing's mind.

"Hello."

"Well, hello."

"I was on that track when you raced just now. I'm not very good at riding a horse, so a few gentlemen taught me that the perspective of riding a horse is really interesting, especially after seeing your horse racing. .”

"Haha, you are too much."

Chen Xing has a thick skin, but he still doesn't feel comfortable being praised by a beauty with such conditions.

It seems that it is still necessary to study being handsome.

Doesn't this attract beautiful women?

"I heard from them, did you learn your skills in the grasslands of China?"

"Correct."

"I admire the grassland people in your country very much. If you have time later, you can come to my house as a guest. I live near Holmenkollen. There is a famous ski resort here, which is a top attraction for many tourists. When the time comes You can also teach me how to ride a horse."

Chen Xing nodded: "Of course if you have time."

He seems to have heard of Holmenkollen, but it's not because this place is a ski resort—he doesn't know how to ski.

He knew it was because Holmenkollen is the gateway to a famous mountain recreation area, which is the starting point of one of the best scenic hiking routes in Norway. Chen Xing must visit this place.

Hiking, traveling, photographing landscapes.

This is the life of a landscape photographer.
