Boats floating down the river at Arashiyama. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen

Pelicans in the Midwest!

PelicansIt’s funny.  I always thought pelicans and seagulls were oceanic birds.  However, we actually have a ton of them in the midwest.  For some reason the gulls like the Rivers (and the farms).  You will see a lot of them in the water pooling in the rows of crops on the farm.  And the pelicans show up with the eagles in winter.  Now sure if they get confused by the river water or what, but hey! I get to see pelicans!!

Step by Step

Stepping Stones across Cheonggyecheon Stream , a stream that runs through the middle of Seoul, South Korea. About 14 feet + above this on either side run the streets of the city, you walk down a long, sharp stairwell to the walkways beside the stream.

There you will fin many benches and stepping paths, and you can watch many families sit and play in the water. It used to be walled over, but the city decided to clean the area up and renewed the stream as a clean, beautiful parkway area. It’s a little respite in the middle of the chaotic cityscape.
