Mountain Hiking

Over a week ago, my Korean friend Meeok (her name means beautiful jewelry, I met her in church, she's a flute teacher) and I decided to go hiking in a mountain nearby. The Koreans are very fond of hiking. We hiked probably 4-5 miles up the mountain called Dobongsan. It was a busy day, there were a lot of hikers and they bring food and have picnic along the way. There was a very nice stream on the side. What interested me was, there were many beautiful and colorful temples along the way, and you'll never know they are there because they are hidden by the trees.

This temple was being upgraded, very colorful.


Another beautiful temple and that's the top of Dobongsan mountain in the back.


As you can see this Buddha is huge compared to the trees.
