autumn views

A Korean proverb says that during autumn the sky is high and the horses get fat. Autumn has come to the field, too. The above photo indicates the paddy field near 영해면 Yoeonghae-myeon county subdivision of 영덕군 Yeongdeok-gun County, the eastern coastal area. Yeonghae offers a panoramic view of the plain along the coast. Since the ancient times, this small town has been inhabited and regarded as a central place in remote mountain, coastal and field villages around it. So, many historical sites are scattered across this area.

The above one shows the area where the stream near Byeonggog enters the sea. Byeonggog is at the north end of the plain, Yeonghae at the south end. A flock of seagulls are standing along or flying over the stream.
