Excerpt from english.cha.go.kr/chaen/search/selectGeneralSearchDetail....:
Geunjeongjeon is the main hall of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Officials assembled in this hall to wish the kings a Happy New Year. And this place was also used by kings to conduct state affairs, hold national ceremonies, and receive foreign envoys. It was built in 1394 (the 3rd year of King Taejo). Kings in the early years of Joseon, including King Jeongjong, ascended their thrones in this court. Its name, Geunjeong, literally indicated diligent politics, which was originated in the belief that the more rulers are diligent, the better they rule over the state. It was burnt down during the Japanese Invasion in 1592, and rebuilt in 1867, the 4th year of King Gojong. Geunjeongjeon is a second-story building that contains 5 rooms each in the front and side. The roof is ‘八’ shaped from the side. The stone platforms in front of the hall are carved with various animal ornaments, including 12 Chinese zodiac signs. The throne is centered toward the back of the hall. Behind the throne, there are folding screen and canopy located over the throne. Various wooden poles support the roofs. The stones, indicating the rank of officials, are placed on either of the corridor from Geunjeongjeon to Geunjeongmun Gate. The rings used to tie the sunshade are still remained in front of the court. Small rooms for servants on both sides of Geunjeongmun circled around Geunjeongjeon. Geunjeongjeon in Gyeongbokgung Palace shows dignity of the palace and is considered as a magnificent building that was losing its sophisticated touch after the middle of the Joseon Dynasty.
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.

Various comestibles in pans and buckets. I believe bean curd on the left, sprouts, beans, some kind of leafy vegetable on the right. Note the dried fish above.
After getting tired of eating the same old philipino food, Japanese sushi, and viet pho, i wanted to try a Korean dish.
All I gotta say is, 13 dollars well spent.
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.
“Home isn't where you're from, it's where you find light when all grows dark.”

“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
