Sunday, December 2: Jakesprinter’s Sunday Post challenge for this week is peaceful: in a state of tranquility.
Two years ago at this time, my son Alex came to visit me in South Korea. We found many peaceful places in our travels around the country. It was freezing cold, as Korea tends to be in December. Because it was winter, most of these spots were quite deserted, and truly peaceful (“handsome boy” visits korea: motherhood revisited).
the tea plantations near Boseong, South Korea
Suncheon Bay Ecological Park
Songgwang-sa Temple, otherwise known as “Extensive Pines Temple”
Great peaceful images my friend ,Thanks for posting 🙂
Thanks, Jake!
Love the grasses- great color!
Thank you! I love ornamental grasses anytime, but these were especially beautiful b/c of the sun setting. 🙂
Lovely peaceful photos. Much different than the City of Seoul, although there was much beauty there.
Thank you, Carol! I don’t like any of the Korean cities with their bland, characterless apartment buildings. But I do love the countryside. It is very beautiful in spots. 🙂
Lovely peaceful pics of a place I’ve never visited. I’m sure you have great memories of your son’s visit, Cathy. 🙂
I do, Sylvia! So many great memories!
Beautiful photos, especially the last two
Thank you so much traveller2006! And thanks for visiting my blog! 🙂
For me the ecological park just sums it all up!
It certainly does, Dallas! The fact that any country sets aside and protects an area like this is wonderful. I wish this was the case in every country!
These are wonderful, Cathy. Lovely and very peaceful. 🙂
Thank you, Robin!
That centre photo’s a stunner, Cath. Korea looks very exotic.
Thanks Jo! That day at Suncheon was one of my favorite days in Korea. There are many exotic sights there, but there is also a lot of ugliness, especially in the bland skyscraper apartment buildings that are ubiquitous in every big city (for Korea’s 48 million residents in such a small space!)
I love the first photo – it’s almost surreal. 🙂
Thanks so much Elaine. I loved those tea plantations and the topiary in Korea. 🙂
Love the “Extensive Pines Temple” with the water.
Thank you, Rosie. I loved that place except that it was FREEZING!!
