Midnight Shopping

Meeting friends. Running Late. Need some bracelets to match my outfit. And there they are. Sparkling little things I see from the corner of my eye. 5,000 Won, and they are mine.

참새방앗간

These seemingly little places always intrigue me. A staircase leading down to room filled with tables and little stools. Laughing people and empty bottles of soju that later that night will be stashed in the empty crates outside. Smiling old ladies that will work the entire night and make cheap but delicious plates of food to keep their guest from getting too drunk. Yes, intriguing little places.

Quiet Hongdae Night

I took this picture on a cold winter night, the Christmas lights were still up – a day later they were gone. I hardly ever walk around this part of Hongdae. I am usually on the other side, the side where on hot summer nights drunk people quietly sleep until they are sober and young boys that just turned 19 go clubbing for the first time.

But this side is nice, so close to all those people having fun yet so empty and quiet and far away from everything.

Sign

This sign has been standing at the entrance of the forest for quite a few years now, but I never paid much attention to it.  I wonder what it used to say, because I don’t remember.

Spring

The proof that spring is coming, some blooming flowers alongside the road.

I choose you

Usually the subjects of my photos are animals, flower, plants or trees but sometimes I like to play around and play around with the way I edit my pictures (I use picasa for those who are curious). I like how this picture came out, no I don’t like it, I love it!

Like I said in a previous post, I like to see the beauty in things other people might see as ugly or gross. I absolutely love how the lichen has different textures and colors and gives this otherwise boring pole a pop of color.

Laundry.

The weather has been incredibly strange the past week, we had snow, but also incredible nice days. One of those nice days I went out with my camera and take some pictures. This one is at my neighbors house, drying the laundry the old fashioned way.

At sunrise

On day in spring, on a early Monday morning I took this picture of the neighbors cows standing closely together under the tree that I always thought was magical. Like one in those fairytales, or better Pocahontas. I like how it forms one big tree but actually, it are 2 trees standing so closely together that over time their branches have intertwined.

Barbed Wire

For the longest time I had an obsession with barbed wire. Not because it was scary, or it was emo, or cool or anything else. Just because I thought it is extremely pretty. At first you might think that those steel cables literally cutting through the landscape scaring every one of the property – or force them to stay inside are not really nice, but once you take a closer look you will see the beauty.

Such as in this one, fragile threat from a spider nicely spun together to catch flies or in this case, the morning dew.
