Rocky, Salty and Fishy (Warning: lot's of photos!!!)

[molested_cow1]

Made an unexpected visit to a famous spot in the northern coast of Taiwan. It's Ye Liu, famous for unique rock formations. I really avoid places like this because it's always crowded with tourists and it's almost impossible to get clear shots. We were there just an hour before the park closes, so towards the end of it, I managed to capture some lucky shots.

Then we headed to the fishing port close by to have some fresh caught seafood dinner.

Also, the weather was terrible through out the day until when we got to the park. So, pure luck!

Dried Squid Lamp Shade!!!! Nah, just hanging around.

These are squid fishing boats. The light bulbs attract the squid to the surface at night. I've ridden on one of these boats (converted to private fishing tour boat) and I can tell you that the sea is rough out there for a boat of this size.

Cool rocks!!

Nice overall series. Just way too many to individually comment on. My two favorites are the 1st picture, the sunrise, and the 3 fishing boats. Both are very strong compositions.

Nice. It would be nice to see something in the rock formation ones to get a sense of scale... not to make the compositions different, just for my curiosity at the size of things.

Nice Job!!! I really like the first photo.

Nice, really like the first pictures, the green of the plant make a very nice contrast with the reast of the scenery.
Remind me a lot the australian coast

Gorgeous shots!

The rocks are about 10~12ft tall, not very big. The most famous one looks like a queen's head, but it's always over crowded so I didn't take the shot of it. The rocks are still eroding away and they won't be there forever.

In the first photo, you can see the end of a board walk at the bottom. I guess that's the only reference for size.

Very nice!

Taiwan is a small island. Everything is small, including our rocks. By comparison, this guy, founds in Arches National Park in Utah, US of A, was probably a good 150ft tall, reenforcing the age old stereotype.
