Sunset on the Coast, Day 2, evening.
We rushed along the roads in a hope to get in one more photo stop before evening but Busan's rush hour traffic was slowing us down. By the time we got to the coast at Taejongdae, the sun was just about to go down.
We were on our way to Jasalbawee ("Suicide Rock"), which is a cliff along the oceanside with many pointed rocks below. For a place so-named, you wouldn't necessarily expect a small amusement park to be at the base of the hill, or trolley cars ferrying the crowds to the top -- an at the time we arrived, both were largely inactive. The trolley was still running but the wait would have been an additional forty-five minutes which would have taken us too late into the evening.
As we walked back down the hill from the visitor station, it was getting darker. I took another shot of the town from the other side of the hospital shown in the photo above.
By now, the ships in the harbour were also all alit for the night and this is one of my favourite photos from the trip. The harbours around Busan are always busy and quite remarkable to look out over.
On the ride back to my in-laws' house, I was in the middle of the van so it was a bit tricky to capture any night time images, which are usually my favourite. I took this one above which turned out fairly clear, but was limited by the motion of the van and the problem of trying to capture low-light photos when your batteries are starting to run down.
This was pretty much the last clear photo of the night but with so much of the building in darkness, it was time to put the camera away and patiently enjoy the rest of the ride home. The next day, we'd be saying goodbye to Busan and making our way to Seoul in preparation of my brother-in-law's wedding on Friday.
