Unexpected Pleasure, In the lift to the top of the tower
20171021
I like unexpected thing in my daily life, because unexpected thing would’ve brought me unexpected pleasures.
Of course, I meant unexpected things of nice.
Unexpected bad things could be the worst in our life.
In the Lotte Building, my cousin bought tickets for the trip to the top of the building, observatory.
It was about 25$ each.
We waited for the lift. I heard it took only one minute to the top of the building of 123 stories with elevator.
The lift started from under ground. Security process was as strict as airport.
After all process ending, we entered into the waiting room.
There we were astonished.
All walls were covered with digital displays.
Unexpected pleasure was was fantastic digital display.
At first there was a display on the ceiling
Next was on wall of corridor.
The climax was in the elevator.
As entering into the lift, I experienced the another level of display.
Contents were different according to the direction.
It was little bit mild when ascending
It was colorful when descending.
One minute was too short to enjoy display.
I could not feel time was going.
It was so nice that I didn't think ticket expensive.
It seemed that I was walking in the midst of the cloud.
It was unexpected pleasure for me.
I'd like to share this pleasure with you.
Variety is the spice of life. Another great post @slowwalker
What a peaceful and calming photography. Thank you @slowwalker
Very nice pics. What an amazing concept!
They say variety is the spice of life, @slowwalker, and your post underlines that truth.
It is always pleasant to experience a break from our usual routine and visit a magical place.
Normally, an elevator ride would not be exciting but the ride to the top of the Lotte Tower was made memorable by the impressive use of modern technology and digital displays.
It made me pause and think though. Your posts usually depict beautiful ornate paintings that have endured for centuries. What is the projected lifespan of this modern structure and how enduring are ephemeral digital displays?
I feel caught between the permanence of the past and the ephemeral and fleeting culture of the present.
South Korea typifies the world in transition from the quaint familiarity of traditional culture and values to a modern perspective that is sometimes startlingly strange.
I wonder how future generations will perceive us or if our culture will endure because it seems so perishable and impermanent when compared to the past.
Your simple elevator ride to the top of a modern structure was more than a pleasant diversion, @slowwalker - it raised questions in me about the truly enduring aspects of human society and the place of technology in our lives.
A thought-provoking post, my friend.
This building was amazing..you can see a piece of creation in the future.wow..
