They are beautiful, but I've just seen quite a few now. The good thing about these ones were how remote they were, and walking across the mountain to get from one to the other.

Eventually managed to get from Suncheon to Jeju-do. Wasn't as easy as I had hoped, also all flights were booked so I was on stand-by for a while. But I'm here... just as the rain is arriving.
DidЧитать далее

Luang Prabang
21 июля 2016 г., Лаос ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
