Korea in the Spring: Scene 1


Korea is enchanting in the spring. The days are warm, the nights are cool and nature seems to whisper of the centuries gone by.
Scene 1: Changdeokgung Palace. The palace was constructed in 1405, destroyed by fire during the Japanese invasion of 1592 and then restored in 1610. The Palace which includes a "secret garden" was included on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 1997 for its outstanding architecture and a design that is in harmony with the lanscape.

Beautiful pictures and lovely time of year. I love spring. Maybe next spring will be my trip to Korea! Is there a Scene 2?
