Monsoon Sorak

At the end of June, just like clockwork, the monsoon rains move up the Chinese coast, past Hong Kong and Tawian, and eventually make their way to Korea. They bring with them soaking rains and cool temperatures, perfect for growing rice and flowers, and as you can see, turning what are normally trickles of water into roaring cataracts as the water roars off the pourous limestone that, try as it might, cant hold any more water.
These pictures are from a pretty rainy day in Sorak-san national park. The rivers that you can see are usually no more than a thin ribbon of water, you can walk across them with just a little leap adn kick of the foot.
