Bicycle Ride to Jang-deung Beach, Yeosu Peninsula

montanaron — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 23:30:51 +0000

Spring seems to be fully here, with the cherry blossoms beginning to bloom, and azaleas, camellias and other flowers brightening the landscape. As a matter of fact, there’s an annual azalea festival at Yeongchuisan (san = mountain) this coming weekend that I’m going to visit.

So, despite 3 inches of rain last Friday, I decided [...] Related posts:

Children’s Day, Turtle Ships

montanaron — Mon, 16 May 2011 00:14:51 +0000

Before it gets to be too far past the fact, I’d better do a post on Children’s Day, which was on Thursday, May 5th. There’s really no equivalent holiday in the U.S., particularly since it’s an official national holiday, an off day for government workers (and English teachers ). That should tell you something about [...] Related posts:

Out of the Cave

We’ve been experiencing some glorious spring-like weather lately, so I decided to step out of my cave a few days ago and head on down to the Expo 2012 site to see what kind of progress is being made in preparation for next summer’s big event. The day started out overcast, but ended in some [...] Related posts:

New Dolsan Bridge and Hamel Light

montanaron — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:30:40 +0000

Continuing from the previous post, I walked down out of the park and toward the harbor, to the new Jongpo Ocean Park Walkway, also being built for Expo 2012. At the far end of the walkway stands one of the massive towers of the new Dolsan Bridge.

Here’s another shot of the other part [...] Related posts:

Jasan Park

montanaron — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 11:50:26 +0000

To continue, somewhat belatedly, from my prior post, I was at the top of the hill where Jasan Park is situated, near Odong Island. Here’s a view of one of Yeosu’s residential areas. Notice the odd-looking structure, the white building, in the upper left.

Here’s a cropped, zoomed-in shot.

A Few More Photos

montanaron — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 05:25:33 +0000

I’ve been walking quite a bit on weekends around the city and have taken some more photos, a few of which are shown below for your perusal. The nights have become rather chilly, but daytime is still pleasantly mild. Early morning jogging requires at least half an hour before I can work up a sweat. [...] Related posts:

Thai/Laos Photos and Comments

As promised, I’m finally posting some photos and comments about my recent trip to Laos and Thailand. Some of the comments I made in earlier posts, so if I duplicate myself, forgive me. I’ll post these over a period of days (hopefully), so hang in there.

Here’s a photo of my former Andong University colleague, [...] Related posts:
