A view from Jinju Castle.

"City Mascot - Nongae. During the Imjinwaeran War of 1592, the female martyr 'Nongae' plunged to her death while clutching onto a Japanese General. Uiam Rock is an isolated rock, found near the river bank below Jinjuseong castle and is the place where Nongae launched herself into the river. Since ancient times, legend has it that war was to ensue if the rock and the river bank touched.

Jinjuseong Castle includes Chokseongnu Pavilion, named for its stately location on a rock cliff above the Namgang River. It is known for having one of the most stunning views in Korea. Founded during the rule of the 28th King of Goryeo 1n 1241, the pavilion has been renovated eight times."

"seong" is Korean, for "castle". Uiam Rock is just around the corner. It can be seen here

Great composition and notes, Chris. I am very impressed with the colour and the wonderful detail and textures. The city in white behind the arch of the bridge is really positioned perfectly. Wonderful tones and colours, excellent detail. Well done.
Warm Regards

Hi Chris,
Like the shaddows in this image, the stairs are a fine lead in, the clear blue sky and relections makes it an attractive picture. A fine panorama well presented my friend!

hello Chris

My visit to S Korea was a mad rush and then I was not into photography yet. But this is a great view looking down to river and the far side of bridge and city. The side walls of block stone make up a good texture and contrast.

tfs, bill

Great angle with a nice view of the city.

Very nice point of view Chris. And good handled harsh light. The shadow on the stair will make a good photo too imo

You have captured a beautiful contrast with this one. The blue cold colour on the left upper side, and the warm coloured part on the right. Great
Best wishes,
