the Inheritance, Changkyunggoong Palace Seoul Korea 2006

It's awsome for me all the time to see the voluminous roof with such elegant lines and arcs..
.

I love to see this turtle neck at the very corner of the roof..
Wishing long live to King.. the Turtle errects his neck high to the heaven..
.
The plates are for Ranking for the King's cabinet. They needed to be standing insides the position plates with the King sitting on top..
.
Enterance gate to king's office..
.

The ceiling of the King's Office.. shows a couple of legendary birds.. BongHwang..
.
The glittering chair for my Majesty..
.

The young couple might be listening to what the old pine tree are telling on the history of the Yi Dynastry.. hopefully lots of lessons to carry as well..

  1. Me and my family are going to Korea in Feb. and we cannot wait. We are living on Okinawa and we couldn't decide where to take our next trip, but we finally decided.

    I love the shots you have taken. Thanks for sharing.
