Suburban Bundang

The suburb of Bundang snakes its way through the small narrow mountain ranges that compress its expansion. Bundang is only about 15-20 blocks wide, and on either side of Bundang are mountains such as this. On good days when the smog is light, one is able to capture beautiful view of the valley being light up by the setting sun.

This is a lucky shot that I was able to capture of a thunder storm, in Yatap. Yatap is the Subway stop near my home and the area surrounding it is therefore called Yatap. Apparently, South Korea is famous for their monsoon thunder storms that occur every mid June and carry on through to August. This may only be the first of many such lightning shots.

Here is a view of the river valley that runs past Nathan's apartment. This same river further down stream passes by my apartment. It's a nice little piece of green in the urban metropolis of Bundang, which is a suburb of Seoul.

I took this photograph to create an abstract visualization for the very real loss of Canadian talent to the outside world. Far too often Canadians have been leaving behind their country to explore alternative employment options within other countries. Most often this need to "look elsewhere" stems from an overabundance of educated individuals combined with the lack of financially acceptable career options. It is a terrible thing to lose so many bright minds.

Memories of Home

This is a shot form a road found just south of Edmonton Alberta. It was Taken last summer, and I have just recently been able to share it. It was a beautiful day, and it wonderfully captures the openness of the prairie region of Alberta.
