January 1, 2007 - For New Years Day, Solar New Years Day, I took the MRT all the way north to Danshuei Station, and then a bus to the mouth of the Danshuei River where there's a "Fisherman's Wharf" and a beach on the Taiwan Straits. They built a bridge to the Fisherman's Wharf area, but if you consider the topography, this bridge is totally superfluous, as Fisherman's Wharf is connected to land just a short ways away. They built a bridge just for the sake of building a bridge.
I wonder where the name "Fisherman's Wharf" came from. I thought it was a San Francisco thing, but there's also a "Fisherman's Wharf" in Kaohsiung, a newly refurbished, hip, waterfront area. At least they're trying to make it hip.
I had a t-shirt idea for Fisherman's Wharf with Worf from "Star Trek" sitting in a tiny rowboat dressed in fishing gear with a fishing line in the water. I thought it'd be cute.
On the beach.
The mouth of the Danshuei River from Fisherman's Wharf. I think the Fisheye 2 has a higher occurrence of blurry lomos than Bebe did, but OK. It's annoying but I kinda like it, too.

I love these pictures! Your photographs are amazing, especially the beach shot which is beautiful. I have just put some fisheye shots up on my blog but they're not as lovely as yours. I'm adding you to my favourites, I shall be coming back to see more of your pictures!
