I couldn't fit all the temple and mountain top pictures I wanted to share into one post. So here is more:
 |
| This beautiful cat was asleep upon a litter of old firewood and discarded junk behind the temple's kitchens. |
 |
| Ornate dragon stairs |
 |
| Recovering from a really bad cold, and barely having a voice, I wasn't yet up for heavy hiking, so we opted for this easier means to get to the top of one of the peaks...Let's just say I was far from disappointed in my choice. It was perhaps the most beautiful scenery I have witnessed in Korea. |
 |
| To the north you could see North Korea, and here, to the east, the far stretching view of the East Sea. |
 |
| Amazingly delicious, and mouth scaldingly hot, sugar cakes. A great treat before hiking from the cable car station to the peak. |
 |
| We arrived at the top, just in time for the sunset. |
 |
| The very top, I steep summit only reachable by climbing up a rope. |
 |
| The very top, where I watched this man keep warm from the cool wind by doing jumping jacks and lifting some free weights. |
 |
| The full moon rises over the East Sea |
