Charlie - Korea - May 2009

Charlie was in Seoul, South Korea for a meeting in early May. One of his colleagues, an American living in Seoul, arranged for a group of them to go hiking in Bukhansan National Park. It's close to Seoul, and the subway line goes right to the park entrance. Below, a pretty bridge crosses the stream:



















They passed several temples on the hike into the mountains. Below, a small temple surrounded by flowers.


















Further up the mountain trail, a large bell covered by a beautiful pagoda like structure:




































They passed interesting piles of rocks, large and small. Charlie said that hikers contribute to the building of these.
