[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A quiet corner, of the attractive oriental garden at the Chinese temple, atop Chungbang Falls (Jeongbang Pokpo). The 'Seobok' Exhibition hall features copies of Xian terracotta warriors. There is a Chinese incription on the cliff below, near Chungbang Falls. An envoy of the emperor of China came to Jeju Island, looking for the fountain of youth / elixir of life, for his emperor. Legend has it that he found it on the summit of Mount Halla, within the caldera lake of the dormant volcano.

'Seo' is Korean for 'west'. 'Xi' is Chinese for 'west'. Hence the link to Xi'an.

Hi Chris, Waterlilies are always a pleasure to photograph. And 3 are better than 2 or 4 :)
Pretty pond, and with the warmer weather starting they will be multiplying and filling the pond soon

Hi Chris,

Oriental gardens are always very attractive and very relaxing - well they have put some thoughts about balance in designing these gardens and representing all elements.
Lovely those floating beauties.

Hello Chris.
Nice capture of the waterlilies.
Regards from Jan

Hi Chris,
Colours, tonal range and clarity are decent enough.
The angle with the light almost caused a problem though (IMO) - perhaps a slightly less shallow angle or maybe use of a polarizing filter will have cut some of this down..

Best regards, Daniel
