I think this is the 'Namgang' which translates in English, to the unimaginative 'South River'. The rock that local heroine 'Nongae' pushed the invading Japanese general off, can be seen under the tree branch to the right of the boat.

"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 = castle.

hi Chris

Wow~! This capture is one of your best landscape of Korea! I like the blue theme and the perfect calm river with the city lying so quietly in the distance. The boat looks like not moving in the river. Great job!

tfs, bill

A very impressive tree as it rises over the nice blue water. Well done.
Best wishes,

Chris Hi;
A very beautiful nature composition. The natural framing, b/g, colors and clarity is amazing. My eye was drawn directly to the rock in the water and after reading the excellent educational note I understand why.
Congratulations, very well done.
I hope you have an excellent weekend.

Hello Chris,

A lovely riverside view, nicely framed by the naked old tree!
My eyes go to the interesting little boat crossing the river, the calm water indicates the sail is not the most efficient mean of propulsion...
Lovely colours and a great sense of depth!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Chris, One of the best photos from Korea i have seen to date. The river and this POV were made for one another. Good blues. TFS. Murray.

This is fabulous! Chris. It is very peaceful and serene with the old tree on the right and the gondola on the calm and mirror river. And a glimpse of the city in the bg but it seems calm in the surrounding. The reflections are a great addition.

Very nice colours dans sharpnees. Love the pov.
