Namhansanseong and Hwaseong

This is the southern entrance of Namhansanseong. It guarded the southern entrances to Seoul. The wall winds through the mountains for about 7 miles. I went up there with my friend Fialek yesterday and walked all the way around it. It took about 3 hours to get all the way around. It was a hard hike with all the steps, but the views were great. On the west side you could see out over the mountains, but on the east side you could see all of Seoul.




I don't know if these are azaleas or not but they sure look like it to me. All of the bushes are so full with flowers that you can't even see any leaves anymore.










Just a white egret I saw. It's one of the few animals that I've seen, so I decided to take a picture.











I don't think you can see it anymore but this guy caught a fish and was in the process of eating it. I think the camera is too slow and he's already swallowed it.
