During South Korea's rapid economic development in the authoritarian 1970s, 80s and the newly democratised 90s, supply of housing could not compete with demand, and just as in post-war 1950s Europe and many developing world countries today, many newcomers to Seoul had no option but to fashion their own homes from available materials. Soon vast shanty towns emerged, clinging to the steep mountains that encircle the city. Now though, China has replaced Korea as the low-cost manufacturing centre, brands such as Samsung, Hyundai and LG have become market leaders, and Korea has joined the privilidged ranks of "developed" countries. As incomes in Seoul have risen, these original shanties have mostly either been demolished to make way for new apartments or else been turned into proper homes made of brick and concrete as seen here. The street layout and community atmosphere largely remains though, these "villages" a defining part of Seoul's urban character.

"I snapped this photo after a nightly hike and waiting a few freezing hours by the side of Bow Lake (Alberta, CA). My plan was to snap the first rays of sunlight being reflected from this winter's first snow. Once the sun came out, my fingers were so cold, I could barely operate my trusted Rollei. But when I received the photos back from the lab a few weeks later I was so over the moon that all the shivering and frozen fingers had been worth it."
