North and South







When I was in Wisconsin, it is impossible to see the ocean. Wisconsin did have Lake Michigan. But, a lake is a lake; not an ocean.
Well, this is not the case of Taiwan. Taiwan is like a "whale" in the Pacific ocean. The two photos show the ocean seen from the tip of Ulenbi 鵝戀鼻 (south of Taiwan), and the ocean viewed from the tip of Yeliu 野柳 (north of Taiwan). The persons that having the photo (the lower photo) with me are Meeilei (middle one) and Jau-Fu (Meeilei's brother).
The top photo shows Dr. Chen in a hiking fatigue attire and a back-pack. That photo was taken at Ulenbi 鵝戀鼻. You may wonder how did I get there. Well, I walked from Kenting 墾丁 to Ulenbi 鵝戀鼻. The distance was about 10 Km. I walked in the early morning and the sun was not too hot. The road I walked was along the southern coastal line. With the ocean view and ocean breeze, it was great. In fact, it was one of my favor walks in recent years.
