I asked our consultant's Korean secretary to write instructions for the taxi driver so I could get back to the man-made river in downtown Seoul. I was there earlier in the day for some meetings, but I forgot to bring my camera.
As the taxi sped-up, I knew we were treading unfamiliar territory. I tried talking to the driver, but he spoke no English. It was only when we crossed a bridge and headed towards the dock that I realized that the secretary's note was for the river cruise.
It was by then past 7:00 p.m but the sun was just about to set. Hmm. Seoul sunset. Why not? I checked the foreground: not spectacular. But I took the above sunset shot just the same.

I decided to take the cruise hoping to get afternoon-to-night shots. Here are some of those I got.
(Korean Parliament Building)
Apparently, the cruise was unlike that of Tokyo which traverses the very heart of the city. But it was still part of my knowing Seoul better, so i'm not complaining. I'll just try to get more night shots from the Seoul Tower area next time.

wow!!! colors of the night!!! yun second to the last pic looks like one of Van Gogh paintings titled "Starlight"...

turismoboi: thnks
anonymous: ha ha ha. i knew my framing sucks. i was rushing to the dock for the boat ride so I really had no choice but to take the pic from where I stood. but yours was a valuable critique, as always. :-)
Okay na-confuse ako. Ikaw ba'y nasa Korea, nasa Japan, o nasa pagitan? Baka naman sabay? Haha.
