September 9, 2012. Cool Liquid Glass

I wanted to do more than a little photowalk today as it might be my last (mostly) free weekend before school really starts to kick in next week. Expecting to just check out a new part of town I called up my friend Dong who jokingly suggested we go hiking. Well I thought it was a splendid idea.
Though my original idea was to find a high place on Mt. Bukhan and catch the sunset, we didn't end up finding a good location due to the trees covering up the view, so on the way down I turned my attention elsewhere. Among ill-equipped, attempted macro photos, and tree-covered views of the city and mountains, we crossed this stream on the way back down which I didn't notice on the way up from having something else in mind. First shots weren't convincing so I crawled in closer and even had one of my tripod legs in the water. These extremely-clear water streams run all the way down the mountain and are incredibly tempting to dunk your head in. Such a refreshing experience.
Thank you to Dong for hiking out with me all afternoon and putting up with my frequent stops.
