清爽的蓝调，清晰的视野

意大利撒丁岛以其崎岖的悬崖、隐秘的海滩以及层层叠叠的蓝色海水，堪称地中海的一颗明珠。全岛海岸线长度超过1100英里。尽管岛上自然河流稀少，其中提尔索河为最长河流，撒丁岛通过水利工程建设了54座人工湖与水坝。其中最重要的两座为奥莫代奥湖与科吉纳斯湖，分别为当地的重要水源及电力供应地。

今日图中所见的卡拉卢纳海滩，位于撒丁岛东海岸的奥罗塞伊湾，在伊卢内河入海口处，坐落于月亮峡谷尽头。这片金色沙滩被海拔950英尺以上的白色石灰岩悬崖所环绕，亦是理想的攀岩胜地。这里的海水近岸浅而清澈，逐渐加深，非常适合浮潜、潜水及垂钓等活动。在当地努奥罗方言中，“月亮”一词被称为“elune”，该名称恰如其分地传达了这一迷人海湾的精髓。更添神秘气息的是，该海滩呈新月形，与其名称相呼应。数百年来，来自包内村落的牧羊人需徒步八小时才能抵达这片隐秘之地，他们将这段旅程形容为“如同走到了月亮上”。

The beach at Cala Luna, Sardinia, Italy

The island of Sardinia in Italy, with its rugged cliffs, secret beaches, and endless shades of blue, is undeniably a Mediterranean treasure. On the island's eastern coast lies Cala Luna, featured here—a beach in the Gulf of Orosei. Rising at the mouth of Rio Illune, this beach is at the end of the Codula di Luna canyon. It is a haven of golden sand, surrounded by white cliffs that rise more than 950 feet into the sky—perfect for rock climbing.

Here, the waters are shallow at first, before deepening into clear depths ideal for snorkeling, diving, and fishing. In the local Nuoro dialect, the word for 'luna,' Italian for 'moon', is rendered as 'elune,' a name that perfectly captures the essence of the beach's crescent shape.
