Green Island, Taiwan (too many)

[molested_cow]

Little island off the south east of Taiwan. It's made of volcanic rocks and looks like the island was burnt, so it's also named as "burning island". The island is famous for its natural beauty, coast line and coral reefs. It's also home to "Plum flower deer", a species native to Taiwan. I don't think they were native to this island, probably brought here to populate. They do farm the deer for meat, really tender but lean!

The island is packed with tourists in the summer. Everyone rides a scooter, every tourist rides a scooter. It's the main form of transport, but since the scooters are old and crappy, they are not exactly environmental friendly and certainly not quiet.

I missed the clear night with stars, but managed to catch sunrise on both mornings. Sunsets here wasn't good because the west is the main island, so too much clouds crowding over the horizon. Also, one morning on the salt water hot spring by the coast enjoying sunrise with hot babes in bikinis around me, except that I wasn't the guy she's with.

way too many to comment on but #18 is actually a gun emplacement. It no doubt runs ~40' deep as well. We have the same bunkewrs along the California coast

The other image I'd like to comment on is the deer chained next to the motorcycle....is the deer a form of transportation?

 

[molested_cow]

Nah, but they do nick name 50cc scooters as "little lambs".

 

[Trever1t]

Yeah, figured but really, why does it have a nice collar and why is it chained in the parking area?

 

[molested_cow]

It's chained to the front of a store as an attraction. People will stop to see the fawn, but no one really enters the store.

Oh, lol!

So, how did you get shot number 1? It looks to be a 360 from above, but I don't see any tower, ladder, etc. Cool effect.
