I've often said how ruggedly beautiful South Korea is.  And when I'm there, I
can't resist taking way too many pictures.  I thought I would share some of
them with you from time to time.  Once in awhile, I get one that turns out well.

Below is a picture taken from a lighthouse platform on a small island we
visited.  Not only is it beautiful there, but is rather interesting.
The interesting part here is that this island can only be reached by boat or
on foot, from the somewhat larger island next to it.  But, this can only happen
at special times of the day when the tide is at its lowest point.  Once the
tide recedes far enough a "land bride" is exposed making it possible for people
to cross from one island to the other.  The now exposed land bridge can be seen
in the center left side of the picture.  Those tiny dark specs are people
crossing the bridge. No one any longer lives on the island, but not too long
ago light-keepers and their families stayed on the island to run and maintain
the lighthouse and generators.  It is still a working lighthouse.  In the above
picture you can see folks waiting for the tide to go down enough to allow
crossing.  We hiked from the far end of the main island, and when we got here,
we waited a little bit more than an hour to cross.  Because the times of the
tide changes daily, it can be a bit of a guessing game as to when crossing is
possible.  Oki is standing in the center of the picture, just to the right of
the man in the blue jacket and white hat, using her psychic powers to speed up
the receding tide. Steve
