Today in fine weather we went to Seokguram Grotto and the nearby temples in the mountains above the town of Gwanju in South Korea.

The view over the valley:

Looking from next to the grotto itself (we weren't allowed to take photos of the buddha - some temples allow it but these specifically ask you to refrain.)

The large bell at the lower temple - the higher one you could pay 1000 Korean Won (about $1) to strike the bell with the hammer - this meant there were too many people around it to photograph it.
