First a series of pictures from the Changdokkung Palace grounds in Seoul - - -
In the park behind the palace you will find "Pivon" - the "Secret Garden" - which is considered the most beautiful garden in Seoul.
Later - when I find time - I will add a lot more pics from the palace itself - and it's surroundings - but for now, I just add these few pics - transferred and improved - from my old - now dead - website to this new and better one - - -

This is all I have ready by now - , but as mentioned - I have tons of stuff from Seoul -, and these few pics are just what I could save from my old website until now - - -
The pics turn out well enough after a spin in Photoshop, ACDSee and Adobe Lightroom - - -
