Sunset on Baekyang Mountain

It was the last Saturday before the solstice.

In the late afternoon light, Baekyang mountain (백양산) was gorgeous, an explosion of beautiful reds and deep browns.

From the summit of the mountain, the view of the setting sun was unobstructed.
Beyond the Nakdong river (낙동강), it crept towards the horizon, colouring the sky with red, orange and yellow hues.

When it finally reached the horizon, it kissed the Pacific ocean.
It then disappeared for the night.

After sunset, in the last light of the day, the summit of the mountain contrasted beautifully against a dark blue sky.
Below, dozens of ships were waiting near the port of Busan, and the city lights shone beautifully in the early night.
