Another walk along the Geumho River

I met my friend and former coworker Donna downtown this afternoon for a bit of shopping and Korean food. After lunch, as it was such a great day, I decided we should spend some time walking along the Geumho River. I've spent a lot of time along the Geumho River recently (here and here), and as it's one of my favorite places in Daegu, I definitely wanted Donna to have a chance to see it. We did a lot of walking - getting off the subway at Dongchon, walking across the bridge and past Mangudang Park to the Hotel Inter-Burgo then back up to the Ayanggyo bridge. Okay, so that passage will probably *only* make sense to those of you who know the area... but let's just say that we did a good bit of walking. And of course, I took a bunch of photos.

You've seen this statue before;
I just wanted to give you a sense of scale.
