South Korea in Portrait
Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
Such contrasting colours. None of my autumn colour close ups were enhanced in any way (except I lightened some of them due to the overcast conditions).
Yeongmori Coast Walk & Sanbang-sa Temple, Jeju-do
A bit distorted by the panorama function, but there were interesting shapes.
Gwaneumsa Track, Hallasan, Jeju-do
This low lying bamboo was everywhere. It successfully grows in the shade of the trees.
Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
Uisangbong 의상봉 & Baegundae 백운대 Circuit, Bukhansan National Park 북한산국립공원
A few pics of various gates and a 'shelter' (top left) in the middle section of the walk. You can visit twelve in all, but some were being reconstructed, and a couple require side trips which we didn't do.
Baegunbong/Baekundae ascent, Bukhansan National Park
Looking back up at the bulky summit.

That big rock marks the saddle below Baegundae.
Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
The big Buddha statue at Shineunsa temple. I captured some family members bowing. The little girl on the right was trying to do headstands on the mat. Future yogi?

Gwaneumsa Track, Hallasan, Jeju-do
Looking up towards the summit.
Baegunbong/Baekundae ascent, Bukhansan National Park
Looking up at the summit. You can just see a long line of people to the top right of these massive granite summit cliffs. There were cues to the top at some of the slowest and most precipitous places, although there were railings at these spots to stop us all from falling off.
Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
Heaven's Waterfall (I think).
Daecheongbong ascent, Seoraksan NP
Jebibong Peak 제비봉, Woraksan 월악산 National Park
Lots of steps on this route.
Namhansanseong Fortress 남한산성 Circuit, Gyeonggi-do
Some steep sections.
Yeongmori Coast Walk & Sanbang-sa Temple, Jeju-do
A cave about 150m up the mountain.
