We got our first real snow of the year in Seoul today.
To mark the occasion, I shot some photos in Bukchon Hanok Village during my lunch hour. Enjoy.
Then there’s always the full-size slideshow.

Yow, beautiful! and Yow, fast posting!
I, for one, would like one day of not having real snow.
Those are mighty fine pics, Robert – thanks for sharing. It brought back lots of winter-in-Korea memoeries, I could almost taste the hot boricha.
Looks like the adjuma in picture two is flipping you off. Nice pictures, it takes a professional to avoid getting telephone wires in a picture.
During my ten years in Korea, I have never, ever, wanted to live in Seoul, until seeing these photos. Thanks.
Excellent composition in pix 1 and 5. Good stuff!
Beautiful, and they look good on the front page.
Beautiful – now I want to visit Korea more than ever. Is skiing expensive?
