How could you not want to take a shot of that?

KEVIN'S WALK BLOGS
BIG HOMINID'S TEES
WHAT CORN AND PEANUTS ARE HIDDEN IN THE WARM AND STEAMING PILE?
Vapid cultural commentary, pungent reviews, sundry Korea-related musings, fartological/scatological humor, political flatulence, and nondualistic Zen excretions in prose or poetry form.
Got a beef? Write the Hominid at bighominid@gmail.com, and put "HAIRY CHASMS" in the subject line, or your mail will be automatically trashed by Satan, my beautiful but deadly spam filter. Assume your mail will be published (editing at my discretion), unless you specify otherwise. Welcome to my backside.
BLOGROLLING POLICY: I don't do mutual linkage, and I have no problem with asymmetrical linkage: I link to bloggers who don't link back, and that's fine by me. Please DO NOT ask to be linked. Please DO NOT expect linkage just because you've linked to me. Also, if I don't link to you, please do not assume I think your blog sucks.
COMMENTS POLICY: My blog is my house; I'm responsible for keeping my dwelling clean. Commenters are guests, and guests of this blog will be civil, succinct, and relevant. All comments are subject to approval; I reserve the right to publish or not publish—in a pristine or altered form—all comments (and emails intended as comments) that I receive. Act like an asshole on my turf, and I'll make you look like the asshole you are. Be cool, and we won't have a problem. Simple, yes? And before I forget:
NO ANONYMOUS COMMENTS. Take responsibility for what you say. Screen names are OK, but no sock puppetry. Use the same SN consistently.

Dude, you would not believe how many people I saw taking pictures of the clouds when I left my office early yesterday evening. You would think that people have never seen clouds before.
We do get these from time to time, and I will admit that I have taken pictures of them before as well. Yesterday I did not. I just enjoyed them and thought of my favorite descriptive phrase for clouds like this: 夏雲多奇峯.
That's the thing about living in a place with millions of other people: it's nearly impossible to have an original idea. If you get inspired by the heavenly light around a cloud, you can bet that there are at least thousands of other people who've been similarly inspired. Maybe there's something reassuring about all of that shared experience, but it's also a bit oppressive to realize just what a regular prole you are.
The Google Translate rendering of the Naver entry for that Sino-Korean phrase (하운다기봉) is: "A word that refers to the abundance of strangely shaped clouds in summer." I'm guessing that a lot got lost in translation.
