Igidae

Just a few pictures from yesterday's hike along the coast. There is a great path that runs along the opposite end of the bay where I live.

This is the "Gwangan Dae Gyo" or the Gwangan "Great" Bridge. It couldn't be just called the Gwangan Bridge because that would make it the "Gwangan Gyo" and everybody knows that is just silly talk.

It is an impressive bridge and lends some validity to Busan's claim to be the San Fransisco of Asia...

The path hugs the shore and often goes right along the rocks using suspension bridges and wooden catwalks. All along the rocks near the water you can see sport fisherman. I call them "sport" fisherman because they are all well dressed in new gear and seem to be just enjoying the surf and keeping every minnow they catch. Not as much interested in feeding their families as they are being outdoors.

The rocks are very cool with lots of huge waves crashing over and that really visceral feeling that the ocean always seems to give. I feeling of power and depth, a sense of vastness... you know when you look out across the water that it goes half way around the world.

Next time I travel back home, I might take the boat.
