The Island of Jeju (제주)
I’m not sure the name of the small island off of Jeju, but it appears to be inhabited as well.
I could see why they call Jeju the Hawaii of Korea when I was in the air. On the ground the similarities disappeared, but perhaps if I had a car and could have seen some more remote locations outside of the city of Jeju the comparison would become more apparent. The weather wasn’t good either–overcast and rainy which is how it is much of the time I hear.
Fukuoka (including Yahoo! Dome) from top of Hilton Fukuoka Sea Hawk
Sorry for the missing post yesterday. I haven’t been able to access the internet from my laptop until now.
I took a tour of the Fukuoka Dome because no games were scheduled while I was in Fukuoka. Afterwards, I wandered over to the nearby Hilton. You can go to the top (no charge) for views of Fukuoka similar to those of the nearby Fukuoka Tower and save yourself 800 yen and possible crowds.
Tokyo after dark
Today’s photo comes from Meguro in Tokyo. The glowing part of town to the right of center is Shibuya, and the Shinjuku skyscrapers can be seen farther to the right and in the distance.
The reflection in the bottom of the pic is from the ledge I set my camera on to take the long exposure.
Aerial view of Copenhagen, Denmark
My random, desktop image of the day was this one–a photo I took from the clock tower at the top of Copenhagen City Hall. The prominent building nearby is the Scandic Palace Hotel.
One night, while we lived in Tokyo, a typhoon ripped through. By morning the rain had stopped, but it was still windy and the clouds were racing by at an unbelievable clip. We decided to go someplace high for lunch to survey the scene. Today’s photo is of our view from near the top of the Sumitomo Building in Shinjuku. Click here to see what I had for my meal.
Although these clouds appear to be stationary, had I taken another photo five seconds later the clouds would have been a totally different batch.
