The Korean Flickr Tour blog put my tomb photos in its post celebrating the selection of the Joseon Royal Tombs to UNESCO’s list of World Heritage Sites.

Your shots are composed better than most of the others for one and the lighting is more effective. Congratulations.

P.S. I notice on Hyojong’s shrine there is a Japanese-style to’rii gate that is *very* similar to the to’rii used at Japanese Shinto shrines in Japan.

I wonder if anyone has thought of this very much in Korea because I also noticed that someone put an exact copy of this gate up in front of Kang Kam’chan’s shrine out at Nakseongdae.
