There really isn't so much to do in Korea other than go to Fortresses and Temples. These shots were taken at the Hwaseong Fortress that is a world heritage site. Kind of depressing but it was built to honour a king whose son was murdered by a neighbouring king. This is the gory part - they buried him alive in a coffin filled with rice!

It looks so amazing there! Such interesting architecture and clothing. The bright colors are so fun!
Oh, not such a happy story, but what a fabulous place and culture to explore!
Oh, how awful! The fortress is beautiful though. I really like these men's uniforms. I am so jealous you have such an amazing place to explore, so full of color and patterns!
That is a tragic story. What a beautiful place though. I love the b/w on that first shot.
Those two bnw's are just gorgeous! I love your shots like this.
