겨울의 빛


My "search" for the winter lights ended with the Holdman Lighting Show at Paju Provence. This is how winter should be - snow, colourful lights and sub-zero temperature. Very cold, beautiful and serene.

썰렁한 겨울


The sun has set and the lights at Wolmido were turned on to full brilliance. The winter night was cold and so was the business at the long row of seafront eating and drinking outlets.

마법의 숲




When the lights was switched on at 5:30pm, the Garden of Morning Calm turned instantly into a magical forest. Going by the ooh and aah that resonated through the cold winter night, people were enchanted.

멀어진 세상


The world seems so far away from 삼모퉁이 (a gallery and cafe) but that is just an illusion. A 20-minute walk down hill and you are back to it.

도전 성공


I made it to the summit of Mt. Taebaek (1567m)! The temperature up there was about -20°C. The gimbap and orange juice inside my bag were all frozen. Despite four layers of clothing, the cold was still able to penetrate through like I was naked. I was not enjoying, I was enduring. Story is for another day. My face is still feeling the burning sensation, my body is aching and there is a 5-cent size blister at the back of my right heel.

한파


The temperature remains under -10°C throughout the day. Tomorrow the cold wave will reach its peak while a challenge awaits me. Now I know I was born to enjoy coldness.

하얀 눈빛

It snowed heavily at Daegwallyeong today just as I like it. It's a "white" New Year.






2013년 첫날


새해의 첫 해돋이를 보기위해 이렇게 추운 날씨에도 불구하고 일출 한 시간전 야외 추위를 참고 해돋이를 기다렸다.결국 흐린 날씨때문에 해의 얼굴이 완전 구름에 가렸다 말았다. 아무튼 새해 북 많이 많이 받으세요. 부자도 되세요.

마지막 하루


Jeongdongjin (정동진, 正東津) on the last day of 2012

Wind was strong, wave was high, temperature was low low.
