高山摄影师用镜头记录苏格兰峰顶上的气候变化
In the mist-shrouded Highlands of Scotland, a quiet revolution is taking place — not with banners or protests, but with a camera. Meet Ewan MacLeod, an ecophotographer who spends his summers scrambling up granite ridges and wading through bogs of heather, documenting the fragile alpine life that few people ever see. His images are not just art; they are a visual diary of a landscape under siege.
Ewan focuses on the tiny, tenacious plants that cling to the summits: the purple saxifrage, the dwarf willow, and the moss campion. These species survive in a thin band of soil where the wind never stops. But rising temperatures are pushing their habitat higher and higher, until there is no more mountain left to climb. ‘We are losing the cold zones,’ he says. ‘These flowers have nowhere else to go.’ His photos capture the slow creep of heath and grass into what was once bare rock — a silent fingerprint of warming.
