Little Korea, NY, at night.
Como no quedé muy satisfecho con la de ayer, esta te la dedico Si o Si.
Para ti David:
From an overnight trip to Yangdong Maeul (Village) near Gyeongju, South Korea. Yangdong is a village that is preserved for historical and tourism purposes. The lady in the photo is making silk thread in the traditional Korean fashion. Although not obvious from the photo, the blue container on the right side is full of silk worms being heated to force them to produce the silk. As they mature and no longer produce the silk the lady plucks them one at a time with chopsticks and places them in the wicker basket in the center. She then replaces them with other, fresher silk worms contained in the green bucket. And all of this while turning the wooden wheel with her left hand.

For something different (for me posting on flickr), here is a photo taken at the Korean War Memorial in DC. This is a simple pic taken when the background trees have no leaves.
Set in a wooded area behind the hills near Camp Casey, actually near the base of a feature known locally as Mt. Soyasan. Some friends of mine and I hiked up its rather steeply angled slope, which is rather bare on the side facing Camp Casey, but we were delighted to find beautiful mature vegetation on the opposite side. At the base, in some clearings, lay a small retreat. There was a cave from which flowed a small stream; a Buddhist hermit had once resided there. It was wonderfully peaceful. This is the interior of the Jajaeam Temple. It is a Buddhist shrine established by St. Wonhyo in the 14th year (645 C.E.) of Queen Seondeok's rule during the Silla Era. (internet sources) I believe that the temple has since been enlarged and the interior much changed. (scanned from a 35mm slide)

People killed to uphold the regime
People killed in the Rwandan Genocide: apprx. 800.000 – 1 million
People killed in Cambodia by the Pol Pot regime: apprx. 1 million
People killed by the regime in North Korea: apprx. 8 million (counting executions, starvation, and the Korean war).
From my archives of photos past; from rural Korea of decades long forgotten. This aging place has more character than a $1.5 million house in Northern Virginia. It takes a lifetime to build character.
We know that if our earthly house—a mere tent that can easily be taken down—is destroyed, we will then live in an eternal home in the heavens, a building crafted by divine—not human—hands. ~ 2 Corinthians 5:1 Paul wrote in metaphor. The original body, the ego, is corrupt. If one permits, embraces the process, God transforms one into an incorruptable dwelling place, a work of art.

“After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
