Discover the most popular landmarks and neighborhoods in Suncheon

This was captured a few afternoons back at Suncheon Bay here in South Korea. Upon arrival it was raining and didn't look like holding up. I was rather disappointed as there was a hike to a lookout that I was keen to shoot with the setting sun. In need of coffee, we headed to a nearby cafe instead. Not long after placing our order I noticed nice light hitting the interior of the cafe. I looked out to see the sun fighting its way through the grey. With only 20 minutes before sunset I was torn between chasing the light or enjoying a warm cup. Like always, the light of course won me over and I found myself charging up the hill like a mad tourist. I stopped to capture this on the way. Somehow I managed to make it to the top of the 2km hike, much to the disgust of my calves, and I managed to witness a site I really thought I wouldn't see. I've lost count of the times the sun has broken through the darkest of skies. You can't ever doubt. #goldenhour #sunset #suncheon #korea #travel
