Today is the 15th day of the 8th month on the lunar
calendar - the day Korea celebrates Chuseok - The Harvest Moon
Festival. Besides filling ourselves with foods that simply ooze with
deliciousness such as traditional rice cakes (Songpyeon) and playing games with
our family, we also go out to see the full moon. Traditionally, the agrarian
society made wishes to the moon for health and prosperity. Nowadays,
though, many simply enjoy watching the moon, as I did today.
There
were more people out at Yangjaecheon than usual, having a fun time with their
loved ones under the gorgeous luminosity.
Just visible above the trees
Shining
bright over the apartment blocks
So many people under the bridge, simply having a chat or a laugh
together.
The colors of the stream this evening were so harmonious, composed and
relaxing.
A green
bus makes its way under the moonlight
A wild
raccoon, according to passersby. It's hard to imagine such a creature among the
sprawling Tower Palace buildings.
Wishing
you all good fortune <3
beautiful pictures!
