点评:In the village of Connel on the road to Oban you will come across the Falls of Lora is at the seaward end of Loch Etive.
The falls are occur due to the changes in tidal levels between Loch Etive and the Firth of Lorn, a natural phenomenon generated by the differential erosion of the glacial valley which narrows at this point and has resulted in this unique tidal feature.
We were lucky to see them as the tide went out as they are not always visible due to the tidal fluctuations. On the Ebb tide, the seawater in Loch Etive pours out through the narrows which are themselves spanned by the spectacular and historic Connel Bridge. The currents and waves produced by the flood tide are also well worth seeing and photographing.
The Connel Bridge forms a great backdrop to the falls along with the mountains in the background.
There is a car park in the village just off the road which gives you very good views of the falls.
We discovered later that there is now a website established to enable anyone who wants to see the Falls of Lora when the tide gives the best experience of the tidal phenomenon.
It was well worth the 30 minute stop on our way to Oban.
翻译:在通往奥本的康奈尔村,您会在埃蒂夫湖(Loch Etive)的海边尽头看到洛拉瀑布(Falls of Lora)。
瀑布的形成是由于埃蒂夫湖(Loch Etive)和洛恩湾(Firth of Lorn)之间潮位的变化,这是一种自然现象,由冰川谷的差异侵蚀产生,冰川谷在此变窄,形成了独特的潮汐景观。
我们很幸运地在退潮时看到了瀑布,因为由于潮汐波动,瀑布并不总是可见。退潮时,埃蒂夫湖的海水会从狭窄的河道中倾泻而出,而狭窄的河道本身就由壮观而历史悠久的康奈尔桥(Connel Bridge)横跨。涨潮时产生的水流和波浪也非常值得观赏和拍照。
康奈尔桥与瀑布背后的群山一起构成了瀑布的壮丽背景。
村里路边就有一个停车场,可以很好地欣赏瀑布。
我们后来发现,现在有一个网站,方便任何想在涨潮时观赏洛拉瀑布的人,体验潮汐现象的最佳方式。
在去奥本的路上,我们停留了30分钟,非常值得。
