Out of Town

Presented below are pictures from outside the town of Seogwipo.

An area on the mountain where many were sledding on the snow.

One day riding, I happened to meet the Jeju city mountain bike club.

Mountain biking has allowed me to see areas I wouldn't have normally seen. This is looking south on an overcast winter day.

My rides sometimes lead me to different places. If these areas could tell stories...

The island has many interesting rock formations & many are on display.

Pedestrian bridge at the Cheonjeyeon waterfall area.

Cheonjiyeon waterfall, not to be confused with the Cheonjeyeon waterfalls.

I just really enjoyed the depth of this photo.

The following 5 photos are from the largest island off the coast of Jeju Island.

This island, Udo, has a black sand beach on one side.

It also has white sand beach on the other side.

It also has some caves to explore. The shutter was open for 8 seconds in order to capture this much light.

This is the same cave looking toward the ocean, exactly opposite direction of the last photo.

Volcanic rock with a white sand beach! I wish my camera could capture the beauty of it!

Christmas Day!

A friend of mine from Busan came to visit on Christmas Day. She & I hiked up the mountain after the allowed hours. It was great because there was so little traffic!

It was such a beautiful day above the clouds!!! It was the most peaceful Christmas I've ever had!

At night we came back to enjoy close friends & a campfire type BBQ.

Jungmun Beach

Eventually, the night settles upon us all.

Viewing East from a viewpoint above.

The beach becomes quite serene in the evening hours.



Survivor!

There's a group that gathers regularly, called Survivor, that operates much like paint ball. Yet, instead of paint balls we shoot hard plastic bb's. I think I'm now a member of a team called the "Black Pumas."

I don't know... They do this in the movies right?

Tom & me horseback riding.

An amazingly clear day on the eastern most land mass on the island. Well, as you can see, there is only a small man-made strip of earth still connecting this section of land to the main island. This photo looks over the ocean at the highest peak in S. Korea, Hallasan, as the sun is setting for the night.
