The sunset's glow bathes the western face of a nearby peak at Seoraksan (소락산). You can see by the leaves that they are on the cusp of achieving autumn cliche status. When the leaves finally change colors, Seoraksan is overflowing with more professionally geared trekkers than Everest base camp.
This is another photo composite from day one of the journey. I'm walking in a valley at around 5pm so there's very little direct light within the valley itself. One long exposure shot to expose for the dark area and another quicker exposure to expose for the sky and face of the mountain. The two images were combined in photoshop.
I'm curious which Seoraksan photo you guys like better: today's picture or yesterday's. Sound off in the comments if you have a minute.
