I recently came back from a two day trip to Nami Island and the surrounding area (a lovely rural pension in Chuncheon.) Obviously these aren't taken using my DSLR, but it was nice to capture the gorgeous scenery and different experience of visiting an island upon a large lake in the middle of nowhere using my digicam anyway.

I didn't water mark them because I'm lazy.

The gate at the entrance to the ferry which carries you over to the island. Our friend told us it was a stronghold for Korean soldiers against the Japanese at one point and is named after General Nami who led the troops. There was a rock at the island inscribed with his poetry.

This 'tree' was made of light bulbs.

Standing beside it was a large ice sculpture that was at least 40 foot tall.

The main road of the island - later on we hired a four-person bicycle/kart thing and zipped around the island on it.

I wanted to take this rock home.

These were the island's mascots.

The exit gate down by the small jetty for the ferry. It was a really pleasant getaway and the air seemed much cleaner and fresher than in Seoul. (Although I love my city life too.)

Looks like a great area for relaxation from the industrial/polluted urban areas.

That ice sculpture looks like some ice monster from Magic the Gathering to me!

^ Yeah do those wood blocks tied on string mean anything?

Seems like a very serene place.

As far as I could tell they were all messages for 2009 - like successful tidings etc. The place had a bigger sign saying 'peace and love' in english beside the entrance.
