Winter now clenches the Korean peninsula with all its strength. While we take shelter in the warmth of our apartments or cars, grimacing at the mere thought of stepping outside, we forget that little by little, winter brings a transparent and glistening argument: ice.

This month, I want to invite you to one of my favorite activity: contemplating seasonal changes. My life has been following seasons’ tempo so let me convince you that nature’s immanence can still be ours.

In the very heart of Seoul is a place few think of as a haven of peace and natural beauty. I went there during fall sunrises, here are the images.

Today will be a trip, organized not geographically, but from details to grand views. I hope you like the voyage through this horizontal world.

The first boat is comfortable and fast, and the second boat is slow, loud, and doesn’t even have chairs. At the end of that second boat ride is Gureopdo - 굴업도.

Today I will bring you to 3 waterfalls that make the holly grail of waterfall touring in the north of Korea.

I sense that there is a similarity between waterfalls and an artist’s life, and by extension, life in general. They taught me a lesson I hope can also serve you.

Another year has passed, my wife and I have been keeping up our tradition of taking monthly post-wedding photos in our wedding gear. So, without further ado, let’s take a temporary break from my beloved nature and revisit this year.

Wildflower bushes gave place to flower trees. I went up in the hope of discovering more pink beauties. This blog is about what I found at higher altitudes.

Let the colors and shapes of this whole spring day in the Korean forest reach the impressionist part of your soul.

“On Jeju, there are 3 “things” you will find everywhere: wind, black rocks, and women.” This post is an homage to this marvelous island.

Winter in Seoul is boring. Korean landscape, as a whole, is very bare in winter, the air dryness is so harsh that there is no other color in nature, aside from brown and evergreens’ needles. Even evergreens are less green. This is my attempt at embracing those issues rather than staying home hiding from them.

Summer is approaching its end in Korea, it is typhoon season. Very soon it will be very early fall bringing mountain morning fog. I want to show you some images from both these spectacular times.
