Chungju before the rice harvest |
Chungju in winter |
exbuberant summer growth |
heavy with grain, ready for the harvest |
neat paddies in every available space |
rural village between the city and the university |
fallow ground after the harvest |
the biggest created lake in Korea is just upstream on the Han river here, but Jojeongi Dam is just downstream too |
I cycle to the university most days - almost a 20km round trip |
parts of the river are idyllic |
a narrow unlit bridge - the backroad to town and scary on a bike at night |
Chungju city across the river |
