Just got back from lovely Damyang, Jeollanam-do. Damyang was already one of my favorite places to visit, but with the rain and mist, the bamboo forests and the pavilions they contain were all the more romantic.

Beautiful clear photos, Robert, thanks! I’ve never
spent enough time down there… I’ll look forward

Very nice photos, Robert. Like R. Elgin says, thanks for posting them. Too bad these posts come and go so ephemerally, lost among all the “Korean tabloid crap”!
