Jeju: Part 1

Jeju is an island between the mainland of Korea and Japan. Not having been there in a few years, my family and I decided to pay Jeju a visit this New Year’s Day. We took a bus to the west side of the island to find the tomb of my grandfather, my father’s father. The plot is hidden away in an expanse of farmland and wind machines. This part of the island is surreal; bordered by sea on one side and volcanic soil on the other but with wind turbines stretched out along the horizon. Wild; it all felt like a film location. We didn’t end up finding the tomb that day but the trip was worth it for the pictures. The other half of this series will be posted tomorrow.
