The Tragedies in The Beautiful Autumn Leaves
Before beginning the post on the temples, I’d like to introduce my lovely park where I am staying.
It is the Yangjae citizen’s forest park in Seoul.
This park is really beautiful really in Autumn. Autumn leaves in the park are one of the best among the parks in Seoul. In this fall, the Autumn leaves in this park was much more beautiful than those of other places.
In this fall, the temperature fell dawn very quickly, so colors of Autumn leaves were not so wonderful even in the most famous place for Autumn leaves.
So the Autumn leaves in this park was even better because of the sudden decline of the climate. The heat of the city seemed to make the autumn leaves in this temple colorful.
While walking along the road, I could find the monuments on the other corner of the park where I did’n get there until now.
The first monument was for the special force during the Korean War 1950-1953. They had fought during the Korean War as the irregular forces behind the enemy territory.
The second was made for the sacrifices of the explosion of the Korean Airline by the North Korean Terrorist crime in 1897 AD.
The third was for the sacrifices of the disastrous collapse of the Sampung Department Building in 1995 AD.
I didn’t expect to meet the tragedies of the Korean contemporary history in this unexpected place.
Now I could understand that our peaceful life was surrounded by those tragedies.
Autumn is clearly seen every where in the post. Amazing colorful photography.
@slowwalker,
Seriously until today I didn't think Autumn got such varies of colors! I never see Autumn at my place! So this is a bless! Thanks for those great and amazing photography of the nature around you!
Cheers~
A beautiful post, @slowwalker.
I find the fall season to be colourful but solemn. I think it's reflective of life in the sense that there is a beautiful sadness that permeates nature - the ancient Romans called it lacrima rerum which literally means. 'tears for things.'
So, it's particularly appropriate that you visited a war memorial in autumn, a time when the mind and senses grow naturally wistful and we reflect on sober things. It seems paradoxical that the death of leaves be accompanied by such a blazing burst of colour as if nature is saying that seedtime and harvest are but two aspects of the same thing.
Your photos were lovely. Have a pleasant day, my friend.
