情人岛树木被清理 心形岛似贴创可贴  

A heart-shaped island that became a lovers' favourite now looks like a perfect destination for the romantically desolate after o strips of forest were bulldozed- leaving scars that look like sticking plasters.
Lovers' Island - known locally by the more prosaic name of Gale?njak - is located in the Adriatic Sea
off the coast of the popular tourism destination of Croatia.
The uninhabited island caused a stir several years ago when eagle-eyed Google Earth users realised that it looked like a clumsily scrawled heart.
几年前，一些目光敏锐的“谷歌地球”用户发现这个无人岛从高空俯瞰恰如寥寥几笔画成的心形，因此引起了一场轰动。
But a new picture from DigitalGlobe's GeoEye 1 satellite - incidentally taken just around Valentine's Day this year - shows Lovers' Island looking rather more forlorn after bulldozers carved swathes across it that look like o giant bandages.
But the island's owner
Tonci Juresko
vowed that the heart-break was only temporary
and that the bulldozed strips are destined to bee groves of olive trees.
"I will plant olive trees and the island will be more beautiful than before
" he told Croatian news site Jutarnji List
adding that he had been asked many times to anise weddings there but had been unable to because of the mess.
"It is certain that we will soon have a wedding on the island
" he said. He added that interest in his island had increased since reports emerged claiming that Angelina Jolie was linked to the purchase of another ￡12.2million heart-shaped island in the U.S.
"But since reports about the apparent interest of Angelina Jolie in the 11-acre American island of Petra
we have realised thanks to all the phone calls we have been getting that there is a lot of potential for our island to be used as a wedding destination."
The problem is that despite the romantic appearance from the air
in reality the island is covered in rocks and surrounded by a rocky beach - making access difficult for the average bride in a wedding dress and very difficult for wedding photographs.
Now following the massive interest
Mr Juresko has managed to get funding to develop the island and the bulldozers have moved in to level broad strips on the surface to make way for a grove of olive trees
to be planted and to improve the jetty to allow wedding parties to land.
