Photographer's Note
Namisum is a tiny half-moon shaped island located in Chuncheon, South Korea, formed as it was inundated by the rising water of the North Han River as the result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam (청평댐) in 1944. Its name originated from General Nami (남이장군),[1] who died at the age of 28 after being falsely accused of treason during the reign of King Sejo, the seventh king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. Although his grave wasn't discovered, there were a pile of stones where his body was supposed to be buried. It was believed that if someone took even one stone from there, it would bring misfortune to their house. A tour company arranged the grave with soil and then developed Namisum into an amusement park. (Source:WIKI)
It actually rained when we went to Nami as you can see by the gray skies but you can see how bright the red trees are!

Despite the beautiful colors, interesting scenes, a very bad photo. Vague and unclear,overexposed!

Hi Jinky,
Once again, your shots has impact the colours are so bold and you have an eye for a good scene. I think you could load your images larger though (up to 800 pixels is ok) - this would make them better to view here. This looks low quality when viewed close, I think you have a good eye as a photographer and could do more justice to these shots here.
I recently returned from Korea and saw the lovely autumn colours there.
Cheers
Justin
