Explorations of the Pacific Edge 1

These photos were taken two years ago after cycling through the Old Caoling Railway Tunnel (舊草嶺隧道) into Toucheng, Yilan. The first set of six photos were all shot along the rugged shoreline of the Láilái Geological Area (萊萊地質區) while the last four were captured at Mǎgǎng (馬崗), a half-abandoned fishing village on Cape San Diego (三貂角), the easternmost tip of Taiwan. All were captured in Gongliao. From here the vast Pacific Ocean stretches all the way to Baja California in Mexico.
