Busan from the hill

Busan compressed into one view: harbour, dense city and mountains behind it.

Field note

Why I kept it.

This is the sort of view that explains the shape of Busan better than a map. The city fills almost every flat strip between the water and the hills, then stops when the terrain makes the decision for it.

I took the frame because it shows all three systems at once: city, port and landscape. The strip of sunlight on the bay keeps the middle of the picture readable.
