Taken with my phone. Not bad for a phone camera, and mine is an antique compared to other phones in Korea.
The picture shown is the eastern sea of Korea. It is known for its clean and shallow water that extends far into the sea. It was taken last year in the early morning of October, so, as can be imagined, the beach is devoid of people or any kind of activity. Only the fishing boats in the center interest the eyes. For some strange reason, I've had this picture on my phone until now. I didn't know I had it until I was downloading some images off the phone to my computer this morning. Pretty cool.
There is something to be said about watching an image from your past, particularly when you least expect it. It brings about sentiments that you can't quite express. The picture itself, the image alone, does not speak to anything specific, but somehow the viewer is left with an indescribable feeling.
Images conjured up by external objects have a weird way of speaking to you. For example, as Virginia Woolf once put it, wether it be mental or physical, our mind involuntarily gropes for something specific and, in a rush, they all come together without you realize doing it. Your mind and the cognitive faculty in the brain is, in essence, two separate entities that need each other for uninterrupted harmony.
