Korean Airlines at Gimpo Airport, South Korea

Here are a couple of photographs of a Korean Airline's jet getting prepared for flight. These were shot through the glass window at Gimpo Airport as we waited for our flight from Seoul to Jeju Island.

Tree in Fort DeRussey

There are many trees here on Oahu that are very interesting to look at. The person with a camera strapped around the neck will take their best shot to capture the natural beauty that lays before them. The problem is trying to capture what is actually seen, only to look at the image that lacks detail. High dynamic range photography helps alleviate this problem. Yes other problems seem to present themselves such as the ghostly leaves blowing in the wind. Oh well, this tree still has a majestic beauty about her. 

Seoul Fish Market

Here is a view of Seoul's Fish Market from the bridge that led from the subway terminal. You can tell that there are a lot of different fish being sold. Each sign represents the company that is located beneath the sign. I guess this is derived from the saying that you should keep your friends near, and your enemies even closer. That is, the competition here is side by side. You cannot get closer than that. The theory behind this business practice is that people will come from all over to purchase their fish here, therefore there are more customers at this location. In America, the business practice is less common, and leans towards keeping your competition out of a five mile perimeter. We purchased a lot of seafood there for supper that evening.

Discarded Bottle

This bottle was laying along the path for several days. There is a bottle tax that can be partially refunded at recycling centers. The homeless use this as an opportunity to earn some money. My guess is that this little bottle is excluded from the bottle tax.
