Nightime on the ski slop

Pyeongchang - We had to get some stuff for supper so we walked to the small mall in Pheonix Park and I saw a strange sea creature - it's a sea squirt.  Another oddity is that it was sold in a convenience store.








There are over 2,000 species of sea squirts, and they are found throughout the world. Some species are solitary, while some form large colonies.

Sea squirts have two siphons - an inhalant siphon, which they use to pull water into their body, and an exhalant siphon, which they use to expel water and wastes. When disturbed, a sea squirt may eject water from its siphon, which is how this creature got its name

I took some photos of the ski slope at night from my bedroom.  During this low season, the ski resort does not open for night skiing.
