photo: 1 Little, 2 Little, 3 Little Indians - In this day and age, I'm not sure the title of this post is politically correct but frankly, I've got nothing else. At times, I exhaust far too much time and energy trying to think of a clever title to label these posts. Thesauruses & almanacs are laboriously consulted but in this case, a children's song was all I could conjure up. With this title, I was trying to imply that these three people of differing ethnic backgrounds are all Indian, highlighting the extreme diversity of India's population. The Darjeeling (Sikkim also) area as well as North India (Himachal Pradesh and Kashmir) serve as these unique crossroads of human ethnicities. Ethnic groups in these areas seem to melt and morph into each other.

photo: Dizzying Heights - This panorama was taken in the open area fronting the highest shelter in Seoraksan National Park (소락산). In the panorama, the peak to the left of the shelter (without the white spheres) is the highest point (대청봉) in the entire park at an under-appreciated 1709m. And the spheres or more accurately, geodesic domes, if I may? I don't know their function. I was too tired, hungry and stinky to risk expending more energy asking what seemed at the time, a useless question. A good guess is that it has to do with meteorology but my mind's buggy from staring at a computer screen all day that I wouldn't suggest believing me at the moment.
