The Amazing Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliffs...

The clouds opened up as we left the Yongmeori coast. And that was the ideal weather to head to the Jusangjeolli cliffs, along the Seogwipo coastline...



But our joys on seeing the clear blue skies were..., were indeed shortlived!


Dark clouds appeared from the southern horizon and were heading towards Jeju...



Volcanic rocks everywhere...


At the base of this cliff are the imposing stone pillars called the Jusangjeolli. These stone pillars piled up along the coast were formed when the lava from Hallasan mountain erupted into the sea here. These stone pillars are shaped in geometric shapes like cubes or hexagons and look as though masons had carved them out. The views of the waves crashing into the cliff are breathtaking! 



Coins being thrown here for wishes to come true!


The science of the formation...





The weather has changed dramatically in just 20 minutes...



These actually look like columns constructed by humans...



These cliffs are rugged...


But there is beauty in ruggedness...



The colour of the water also amazed me...




But the place was noisy and teeming with Chinese tourists...


Marveling at Nature's creation...
