Night View from the Rooftop in Gang Nam, Seoul

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

It was very cold day when I asked my friend to open the rooftop of his building.
It was -20 Celsius degree with strong wind.

The reason I asked him to open the rooftop was that I’d like to look at the world in different angle.
Night view is very beautiful, but in down town to take the photos of night view was not easy.
All rooftop of the high building was close in security matters.
So it was difficult to come to the rooftop at night.

In this reason, it was nice chance when my friend gave me a chance to take the photos on the rooftop.

The place where my friend is working is located near the KOEX building in Gangnam.
Gangnam is the center of Seoul in modern culture.

Anyway I took the photos, but it was almost impossible to stay longer on the rooftop due to the cold weather and strong wind.

I took the several shots. Interesting thing was the building was near the temple of Bong Eun Sa.
Strangely enough I never’ve been in Bong Eun Sa temple where is not far from my apartment.

It was mysterious to look at the temple from the rooftop.

When I am looking at the thing with different angles and ways, the thing what was familiar to me is changing it’s meaning and even the appearance.

There are nothing fixed form, everything is changing constantly.
The more important thing is that I am changing without the recognition.
But I try to understand and accept that the changing is the essence of our life.

What amazing pictures! You’re right, life is always trasformation: “Todo cambia” says Mercedes Sosa :)

its not the regular day its those rare days 👍

Wow, you are a trooper to brave those temperatures just to get a few pics. Well, they turned out beautiful. Good job!

nice inspiration :D

very nice view!

Thanks for the post, awesome pictures!

Change is the essence of our lives, @slowwalker. We want to stop things because we can't know things in motion--only things at rest.

People use metaphors to describe this saying, 'Time flies', but this is nonsense. The fact is we are fallible and can't bear very much reality.

I leave you with these lines from Louis Mac Neice:

All is a dilettante’s lie.
Timés face is not stone nor still his wings,
Our mind, being dead, wishes to have time die
For we being ghosts cannot catch hold of things.

Thank you so much for your comment.
As you wrote, Change is the essence of our lives.
I am learning that from the teaching of Buddhism, eventhough I 'm not a Buddhist

What a beautiful view!

Amazing point of view! Not everyone got the chance to look at the view at this angle.

The views from the roof are always fun!
It is fashionable to climb on the roof.
We went on the roofs in Saint Petersburg
