Though it was so cold outside the inside the observatory tower was warm by sunlight enough to be there without strong wind. The view all around the tower was wonderful by clear weather,  ships in rows, and islands far. And I could see the Incheon bridge and Yeongjong bridge through telescope. I spent three and a half hours there. Citizens or tourists came to see the scenery from time to time. The old man in wheelchair was one of them and showed interest in drawing and told that he was learning literary paintings, kinds of oriental style painting.  He was there reading newspaper for an hour and left saying 'bye' to me just after I drew him. 

날씨가 여러날 춥지만 오늘 인천연안부두의 조망탑안은 견딜만하여 여러시간 바다 경치감상도 하면서 스케치를 했습니다. 심심치않게 엘레베이터로 관광객들이 찾아왔구요. 그분들을 통해서 이곳 저곳의 지명도 알 수 있었어요. 월미도도 이제는 매립이 되어 섬이 아니라구요. 날이 맑아 인천대교, 영종대교도 망원경으로 볼 수 있어 좋았습니다.
