Autumn Day and Night of the Lotte Building in Seoul, Korea

in #culture7 years ago (edited)

It was Saturday evening. I had walked around the lake Seok Chon where the Lotte Tower was located at. There was well maintained road to walk around the lake. It took approximately an hour to walk around. Last weekend I had enjoyed this course with my cousin. At that time we had climbed the top of the Lotte Tower 123 stories skyscraper.

At that time I didn’t take the pictures of the Lotte Tower. So this Saturday I decided to go and walk around the Lake once again.

The Lotte tower is the highest building in Korea.

It was told that the Appearance of the Lotte building was similar to the tower of Sauron which you could see at the movie ‘the Lord of rings’.

What do you think about their similarity? In my opinion, they are as same as the twins.

I’d like to take the pictures of the Lotte Building day and night.
Last weekend I could take the photos of day

So I had taken the night photos of the Lotte Building at this weekend.

When I arrived at the Building, It was about 5 o’clock. It was bright and there were so many people walking around the Lake.

I had lived near the Lake more than 40 years ago. At that time there was a all but wasted land. There was no houses and roads here. I from time to time had walked around the Lake alone.

It was unbelievable this area had been developed like this. Now the area around the Lake turned into the center of shopping and living.

With time passing, the road got to darken, and this scene was so nice.

While walking along the road, I heard some beautiful voice far away. I got to there and found the open-air concert had been being performed at the corner of the Lake. A woman singer sang songs there. It seemed that the Lotte Building company was offering the open-air concert.

Over the night it looks a bit similar to the Sauron tower from the Lord of rings.

Incredible photos. Thanks for the tour of Korea!

South Korea is rapidly changing, @slowwalker, judging by the number of construction cranes on buildings in the background of your photos.

Traditionally, one would only see cranes as decorative features inside temples or buildings. lol.

What has happened to quaint, ancient Korea with its temples, shrines and city walls?

This new Lotte building is magnificent - one of the five tallest buildings in the world

I learned that its stunning avant guard style is actually inspired from Korean ceramics and calligraphy, so maybe the ancient roots are there beneath the glitter of the lights

Than you for your comment.
You know korea very well than korean

Well, it's like living in Toronto - the tourists go to all the spectacular places the residents never visit. As for me, I'm an armchair traveller, but in my stories and novels I only write about places I've been

armchair traveller, lol.
Your novel is good material for me to study English.
I was searching new vocas meaning with dictionary.

you do very well, @slowwalker. I used to teach a TOEFL course to Hong Kong students seeking university admission. You have more facility with the language than they did.

BTW, I forgot to vote on your post - I remedied that now -must be distracted today :)

Really I like your post.

awesome photo ;)

Like the 1st & 2nd photos, the 5th & 6th (night shot), and also the final picture is really illuminating & special.

I went through a similar thing - the town where i was attending high school suddenly was getting a lot of development and IMPORTS (of people who moved in)... and was a bit of a Shock to me.

Especially as there were so many NEW Buildings going up - and the Traffic increased four-fold ! People were zig-zagging all over the place in that community.

It's Quite an Adjustment to make, is it not??

Anyway, well done!

Wow. You share such great posts! I wish you'd take me with you...@slowwalker
I love Korea as well...
Will be visiting there soon. Perhaps see you there haha

nice post

One comment to rule them all! :D
No, I am just kidding/joking! :D

That lotte building was wonderful..It is truly a beauty of the future.

Wonderful pictures from a phantastic city. I heared that this city has so many cultural things to visit. It is an active city, very activ, but not as hectic like Tokio in Japan. The thing that is not fine is the fact, that Seoul is very close to the border of North Korea, so if the situation in the current conflict will escalate, then Seoul is a place where I not want to be.

fantastic images! Would love to see you share some of your work in #steemcreations

A loote tower close to a kake named Seok Chan, wow! It is really wonderful place and I can imagine from here the beauty of lotte tower. Thanks for sharing with me. Have a nice day.
Regard from Indonesia.

Okey @slowwalker, I am waiting for it. Thanks

The building is so high.

Just as I am now! :D

@ slowwalker
So amazing! Just by looking at photos you can feel calmer, it's probably 10 times more beautiful in live. Joy for the soul, visual and acustic. <3 <3

You should have bought some part of the land 40 years ago. ㅎㅎ

Beautiful tower

These towers are acceptable.

But I prefer these...

I have sent a transmission that you may find interesting.

I love the photos of the tower. I would like to visit that area and take a walk around the lake. It looks so serene and peaceful with nice fresh air :) Thank you for sharing

Ahhhh a great place for visit i have also watched the movie 'the Lord of rings’ and after watching your post i can say that these two towers one in korea and one in the movie of the lord of the ring are so similar ..

Wow .. there is you share such a great post ! Thank for sharing!

WOW!! Fantastic!! The Lotte building at night is beautiful!!
I especially like the second from last photo!!
For your information: The Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) play in Korea in what is called the LOTTE Championship at Ko Olina Golf Club. I watch this on TV and enjoy it every April. The Korean women are very dominant on the LPGA.

Yes, It is strange how korean girls are playing golf well.

I think Se Ri Pak winning Championships inspired a generation of talented girls. And they sure are very good golfers!! I enjoy watching the LPGA, and the Korean women are on top allot!!

It's my dream to one day visit and go on the top of the Lotte building mate! I have been to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and this one looks awesome too!
Great pictures as usual!

I have been there Dubai
that was amazing to me

Oh really!? This is great that you've seen Dubai and its huge buildings!
