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.

HL8084, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, on approach to runway 06L at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as KAL73 (Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd.) from Seoul, Korea.
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)
