Just came back not long ago from Korea. Here are some shots from that beautiful place. A pity it hasn't really started snowing a lot yet, so no snow scenes to show. Lol.. hope you like them!

All taken with my A350 & 16-105mm.


[#1] Visited the DMZ between North and South Korea. Stopped by Imjingak, which is abt 7km away from the DMZ. And there was this lovely cafe set in the midst of a frozen lake.
Posted Image


[#2] This was taken at Panmunjom. The huge greyish-white building at the far end of the photo is North Korea. This is a pano of 12 shots.
Posted Image

[#3] This is Kijungdong, the N.Korean propaganda village where the world's highest flag tower stands. Only soldiers stay there.
Posted Image


[#4] The famed "Bridge of No Return" where POWs were exchanged. The name came from the fact that the prisoners of war who voluntarily chose to go to North Korea instead of staying in the South would be unable to return to South Korea.
Posted Image


[#5] Cheonggyecheon is a nearly 6km long, modern public recreation space in downtown Seoul. That's me and my friend there!
Posted Image


[#6] That's my wife.. and I don't know what she's trying to do.. :P
Posted Image


[#7] This was taken onboard a train from Seoul to Daejeon.
Posted Image


[#8] A pano at the K-Water Dam Facility.
Posted Image


[#9] Some monuments right outside the facility's main building. It was opened by one of the past Presidents.
Posted Image


[#10] Visited the Bupju-sa Temple at Mount Seokli. Out of boredom on the way there, I took a shot of my own shadow.
Posted Image


[#11] Passed by a dry stream, and the lighting at that time was just so so nice! Not sure if I did justice to the beautiful place at that point in time.
Posted Image


[#12] At the temple itself. There was this amazing huge buddha statue there. A pity I was there too late. The sun has already set.
Posted Image


[#13] Just two very tall trees.
Posted Image


[#14] There's my friend again. This time, with a hot Korean girl! Ha!
Posted Image


[#15] On New Year's Eve, we visited the Nagan Eupsung Traditional Village. Beautiful place it is!
Posted Image


[#16] Entrance to the Governor House.
Posted Image


[#17] Same door in B&W.
Posted Image


[#18] Another sunset attempt there.
Posted Image


[#19] An yet another one right before we left.
Posted Image


[#20] Went on a tourist train ride that took us ard that place for an hour.
