If you live in Seoul, you’ve no doubt noticed it’s snowing outside.

Getting home won’t be fun this evening. Take care on the roads tonight, everyone.

    Ah, that's something I miss.

    Still, I don't envy you the uphill trek you'll have to make in Haebangchon.

      I live on the other side of the street near Gyeongnidan, so no uphill trek for me.

        Oh, that's good. I don't live there, but a few times I've had to hike up that hill going toward Namsan and then over to Huam-dong, and the slog is no fun in the snow. On an icy day it can be impossible with a car.

    Wow! I love that shot!

    The contrast of colors and the mood are great..

      Thanks, sir. One of the girls at the office volunteered to model the umbrella, so she gets most of the credit.

      So it was a manufactured piece? I like it even more! It adds an element of thought, construction, and composition to it.

    Nice composition. This may be the first shot of Bukchon that I actually like.

      Thanks, sir—it's the view out our office window.
