Came across this spider (Trichonephila clavata, I believe) missing three legs in the middle of Seoul. It was seemingly doing alright, though, having stashed away some insects for later.

A yellow-black spider with a fairly slender body in its web.

Same spider, now pictured from straight below, the missing legs more apparent.

It's #ThrowbackThursday, so here's one of my favorite shots from a trip to Korea a few years ago – a brown-eared bulbul enjoying the sunrise from its perch on the roof of Omokdae, a pavilion overlooking Jeonju's hanok village. Been slacking off on the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Went for a 104-kilometer bike ride (new personal best!) to 1. acquire some especially tasty chocolate croissants and 2. look at a 1000-year-old church (German Wikipedia: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/St.-Candidus-…) that was closed the […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Two fresh entries in my continuing series "oh look, it's my bike in front of a cute hut in the forest".

Wide shot of a kinda-overgrown path leading to a small white hut (against which leans a black bicycle) in the center of the frame, tall trees in the background. Sunny.

Similar composition to the previous shot, but with a brown wooden hut, less tall trees, a meadow in front, and an electricity pylon on the right.

Felt compelled to go remind myself that water does, in fact, still exist out in nature. Hoping for some rain later today.

Looking out over a shallow pond beyond a wire fence. Bicycle handle bar (also, hand reveal!) visible in the bottom quarter of the frame. Blue, slightly cloudy sky. Some ducks on the pond. Hills in the background.

Similar shot, but a bigger lake instead. Overcast. No hand!

One of my favorite parts of cycling in the forest is coming across little huts like this. Also, sneaking in some sweet potato fries on the home stretch. (With zero rain in weeks, it's dusty out there.)

I'm such a fan of trains (and public transportation in general), but that gets a bit difficult when you bike somewhere for three and a half hours and your one-and-a-half-hour direct train back gets cancelled, leaving you with a two-and-a-half-hours two-transfers alternative where one train just […]

For #ThrowbackThursday, here's a whole lot of water. It's been about two years since I've seen the sea – the Yellow Sea off the western coast of Korea, that is. Not this one, which is the North Sea as seen from a dune near the northern tip of Denmark a few years earlier.

A vast expanse of deep blue water. Some off-white, uniform sky in the top third of the picture.

Bike commuting is alright. (At least when the weather's nice and there's time for a bit of a side quest on the way home – today, I picked up a Too Good To Go bag from a bakery I'd never been to before, which set me up for visiting one of my favorite viewpoints in the forest.)

Bit late for #ThrowbackThursday, but anyway, here's a pigeon I saw sometime in 2022. (Not sure whether something was wrong with its pupil or if it just had a wood-pigeon-esque black spot on its iris, but either way, it looked a bit crazy!)

Got myself some wheels. (Until I borrowed one a few weeks back, I hadn't really ridden a bicycle since I've been like 15. Now I've bought this one! It's kinda nice! Just gotta figure out how to use it to transport a telephoto lens across gravel tracks without breaking 1. the glass or 2. my back.)

It's #ThrowbackThursday, also known as "Noah longs for Korea vacations Thursday". This time, some phone shots from my first two trips in 2016 and 2019. (Details in alt text.)

A bridge across a pedestrian street. On it, two kids looking down at the scenery below – a guy playing guitar in front of a mural with some onlookers – and sketching it. More people further back. Sunny, but winter. This was nearby Bukcheon Hanok Village, I think.

Monami Curry's then-Insta-famous half-half curry: Two kinds of curry on one plate, separated by a rectangular block of rice, garnished with two fried potato slices and a bit of tomato.

Royal graves in Gyeongju: Unnaturally steep and round 10-ish-meter-tall hills with (because it was winter) patchy grass. A lightpost between them. Blue sky.

A cityscape, deep navy blue, bisected by a river, red sunset just above the horizon. It's the sunset view from Namsan Tower in Seoul!

Northern lapwings I saw at the lake the other week. Incredibly agile fliers and really noisy! (The third shot's white-balanced way differently, I know – I experimented a little. In situ, the sunset tinted everything orange as in the other three.)
