I liked the addition of a human element to the impressive backdrop of this magnificent vista in Soraksan National Park.

"Seoraksan is the highest mountain in the Taebaek mountain range in the Gangwon province in eastern South Korea. It is located in a national park near the city of Sokcho. After the Hallasan volcano on Jeju Island and Jirisan in the south, Seorak-san is the third highest mountain in South Korea. The Daechongbong Peak of Seoraksan reaches 1,708 metres (5,603 feet). The Taebaek mountain chain is often considered the backbone of the Korean peninsula.

The national park attracts many national and international tourists all year round, but the main season for the Seoraksan national park is autumn. The autumn colours in the area are considered amongst the most beautiful in Korea."

Yet another exotic spot caught by you Chris and so artistically. Father and son though minuscule in proportion manage to steal the focus for the converging lines of your composition. Very well done

Hi Chris!
Beautiful mountainscape perfectly composed with the human figures... As if the cloud among the hills tells that it is not very clear what the future keeps in store...

Hello Chris, I agree with you, the father and son bring perspective and shows us how huge those mountains are!

So you are having fun trecking and you do well to bring your cam and share all these beauties with us.

I like the soft tones here and the cloud on the mountain is a bonus.

Very well done and seen!

Cheers, Yan :)
