나의 생각주머니

바람이 무척 세찼던 기억이 있다.

까치는 꽤 사나운 동물이다.

까치 위협 영상

까치가 까치를 위협하고 있다.

보기엔 별 것 아닐지 모르겠지만 실제 위협을 당하면 참 무섭다.^[각주:1]

호주에서 까치가 얼마나 매서운지 알 수 있는 뉴스: https://www.yna.co.kr/view/AKR20210811086200009

추신: 까치가 울면 반가운 손님이 오는 것이라고 한다. 실제로는 까치가 낯선 사람을 보고 경고하는 것이다. 그렇기 때문에 까치가 울면 오랜만에 오는 반가운 사람(=낯선 사람)이 오고있음을 알 수 있는 것이다. 

같은 소리지만, 까치에게는 경고의 소리고, 인간에는 -듣고 싶었던- 반가운 소리라고 할 수 있을 것 같다.

서로 놀라서 얼어붙었다.

Unfortunate days in Austraila

         I would like to share my spectacular memory in Australia with you. Four years ago my friend and I went on a trip to Australia for 13 days. On the fourth day we arrived at Kangaroo Island in South Australia, where wildlife animals like sea lions and kangaroos have lived. At first, everything was fine: we rented a car, ate exotic food, and visited a national park to see beautiful landscapes and endangered species. However, at night, a fierce wind, which sounded like thunder, blew and shook trees severely. Feeling nervous, I turned on TV and realized that there was a heavy storm in South Australia. 

         The news reported that the storm was the heaviest in 50 years and destroyed main power facility in South Australia. That led to blackout, so 850,000 people stayed with anxiety in darkness^[각주:1]. Still, fortunately in case of Kangaroo Island with a local power station, the electricity problem did not occur. Before sleeping, we prayed for this wild weather to stop. The next morning, we went to a ferry dock to find out whether or not the ferry plied. We were terribly disappointed because the ferry was cancelled. We had to get to the airport on that day in order to go to Cairns. We had no choice but to be trapped in this island. To make matters worse, we had to cancel reservations for a hotel and a flight. Due to regulations, we could not get a full refund, so we blew our money, one million won, in confusion.

         To relieve my depression, I decided to go for a walk. Thirty minutes later, an Australian magpie, a bird notorious for its fierce character especially in nesting season, warned and attacked me. I was very frightened and ran away as fast as I could like Forest Gump.

프리맨틀에는 어부 동상이 있다.

이 동상은 프리맨틀의 개척자 어부들을 기념하기 위해 만들어졌다. 

동상 주위에는 12개의 기둥이 있는데, 이 기둥에는 608명의 개척자 어부들의 이름들이 새겨져 있다.

개척 초기에 어부들은 위험한 환경속에서 악전고투 해야했다. 

 우연히 갈매기가 동상 머리 위에 앉았다.
