The north is a beautiful place in winter. But all that snow can get a bit... white. Thank god for film and its ability to color in the mountains. See photos of my winter hike after the jump. Brrr... Prepare for Lomographic frostbite!

Want to be hardcore? Want to test your endurance? Then why not climb a 1,157.2 m (3,797 ft) mountain in the middle of the snowy winter cold. And why not get lost in the mountain while you are at it, hiking through the fresh snow only to end up at a Buddhist temple where monks proceed to give you chocolate and drive you off the mountain. Yup, my hike on Yongmunsan Mountain (용문산) just 45km out of Seoul, definitely gave us an exciting day trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
