In keeping with what I've done on previous Saturdays, I went for a nice walk this afternoon. I looked at my map and decided to try and find the Tongcheongsa Temple (or possibly Tongcheon Temple, as sa means temple), located near the Ayanggyo subway station. I didn't know if this would be a big or small temple, but as it was located along a river, I figured it would at least be a nice area for a walk. I took the subway to Ayanggyo and walked around the area for a while, and (of course) taking lots of pictures. The temple was very small and very new, so not very impressive, although the nearby bridge was quite interesting. It had a very strange archway labeled The Dream Gate - there was an explanation, but as it was in Korean, I'm afraid I can't share it with you. I walked along the Geumhogang River (gang means river) for a while, which was quite pleasant, before returning home. Photos below!

There was this row of light poles
along a path that seemed rather unworthy.

Nature vs. Man

We have creepy spiders like this in the Southern US too!

Ubiquitous flower photos.

What, you thought I'd take a walk without any macros?
