On Flickr, Don O’Brien has posted a set of photos taken of Korea in 1945.

Be absolutely sure to give them a look. Yahoo! Korea linked to them today.

Wow… pretty cool.

Everyone in my family that can remember those times have now passed I’m afraid, with the exception of my father who would have been 4 years old.

I have Digital ICE on my Nikon Coolscan. That stuff works real well.

Oh… btw… I wonder when we’ll see signs like this in Seoul any time soon?

Wow. I’ve seen a lot of great old photo sets of Korea, but this is one of the best ones yet.
