I have been Gyeongju 3 times in this year.
As I wrote in previous posting, the first visit was frustrated by the cold weather. I could not help coming back home due to the cold weather. It was not easy to push the camera button outside.
Most of photos were taken in the museum.
I planned to drop by once again in warm weather. So it was a warm and perfect day to go to Gyeongju. I was happy. I had walking around Gyeongju all day long.
Coming back to Hotel, I realized I didn’t bring the camera battery charger.
So this was third time to visit Gyeongju.
Seoul where I am living now was warm weather, so I don’t worry about the weather.
Korea is not a large country.
But when arriving at Gyeongju station, I was surprised by the Snow.
It might be the first time to see the snow in Gyeongju at March.
I felt cold. Memory of first time visit occurred to me.
Anyway I decided to enjoy this visiting instead of complaining weather.
At first I went to the Hotel and open the window.
I could see Gyeongju city from above.
My hotel was located in the downtown.
The sight from the above was something different to that of seeing by the street.
There were several colors of roofs.
The scenes of the downtown from above made me to think different side of Gyeongju.
The scenery was so impressive.
As soon as put down my luggage, I went out to walk into Gyeongju.
What I focused first was a ruined house. By the street, the old house was dying.
May be that house was remembering all it’s memory, people who had lived in it, laughing of people, mother’s voice and so on.
Looking at the ruined house, I thought the destiny of people was no different from that of the house.
Life is nothing but a dash to Death.
Turning to the corner, I walked into country side.
As deviating from the downtown, there was quite different scenery.
While visiting Gyeongju several times, it was first time to see another appearance of Gyeongju.
It was not bad.
It is pretty clear that sometimes wondering around without any aim to do gives us some insight for our lives.
Thank you for reading.
Beautiful .. wonderful words
Travel is a life school, good for you
Well done on the pictures .. for more creativity
All people deserve to live in good conditions. I hope all be fine.
It is so special to have a Mcd in a old fashion building!
Indeed the destiny of people is no different from the dilapidated buildings that is "here today gone tomorrow ".Love your unique photo-story historic walkthrough memory lane.
Nice pictures, great work.
Thank you
Its very interesting to visit the same place with different experience, thanks for your sharing to us, great achievement in travel, i like your post and have upvote and resteem your post to more than 1300 my follower, greeting friendship from me @abialfatih in aceh indonesia
Thank you so much
Photos are so sentimental and has a sad story behind 😐
just a story
Yes, it's difficult to take pictures with frost, but what you will not do for a good shot!
Life is so short, we should all live it as much as possible, enjoying all the facilities that life can bring.
Yes we have to
There's a wonderful moodiness to this series – the overcast skies only add to the muted tones of the subject matter.
I'm particularly taken by the shingled roofs – such a traditional, architectural feature contrasted by evidence of modernity – vehicles and telephone lines and the familiar golden arch of McDonalds.
There is a quiet grace in the gradual undoing of the ruined home – an unhurried return to nature. As you said...just as it will be with each of us.
The final image is well-chosen in that I'm left with a curiosity about where that path leads – a subtle desire to meander further down the red length of it – to peer into the little canal that flanks its edge.
Thank you for the brief glimpse into a place I might never have seen had I not stumbled upon your post.
Nice
Thank you so much.
Your interpretation is much better than my intention
nice write up
Thanks @slowwalker for putting your hard effort in the post. Your posts are more interesting than video vlogs. The winter is looking still hard in Gyeongju. Take care of yours. God bless you.

I followed the post through and guess what, it was just like I was by your side all through the tour.
Gyeongju is an interesting place to be,in the summer & winter weather , especially with a camera to capture every single moment telling a story. I could relate to how you connected the photograph of ruined house to life, so practical @slowwalker.

What makes Gyeongju's roof distinct from the others? And what Mountain is it connected to?
seoul city is everybody's dream city ,, with weather suitable for holiday ,, thank you for sharing
wonderful roof and enjoy your last sentence "sometimes wondering around without any aim to do gives us some insight for our lives." yes, agree with you , thanks for your sharing .
Thank you for reading
Good postings of friends although the shooting can not be close but from far visible building a beautiful friend, success is always @slowwalker.
It is so nice to see the place with snow specially in B&W. Life is indeed a dash to death but I figure it is upto to us whether we would like to slow down and take it slowly, enjoying and having fun before we finally reach the end.
Exactly I agree with you
Great place, but that McDonald's sign looks out of place!
Your current narrative is filled with light sadness and lyrics. It's so nice to read, this story set me up in a philosophical way. Indeed, our lives are in many ways similar to life at Home. We are born, we fill our lives with events, voices, smells, pleasant and sad moments. The house lives not in vain, He gives warmth and protection to its owner. So and man, he lives his life, leaving footprint in someone else's life. A person can give warmth and joy to other people. Be for someone a house, support and focus. Our life is short, so we should not waste time in vain. Give happiness and love to your loved ones, and stay in their hearts forever kind and tender memory.
This really sound like a wonderful trip to korea and i guess you enjoy your time there
Each pic looks mysterious, especially the first two.
Beautiful photography thanks for sharing
Lovely photographs...there is beauty even in death
awsum pics
really very impressive .
yeah you are right that life is nothing but a dash to death.
everything lose its charms after a time being.
Hello Slowwalker, I think that Gyeiongju City do not want to let you go thats why you already the third time there :) The colorful houses from above are very nice. The MC Donalds sign between all is quite strange :D cause it looks so traditional, but same in Germany, Burger King and Mc Donalds signs between traditional buildings. Why is government not removing the damage house? The street with the long straight road can make people thoughtful, like: Where should we go next, time is not important anymore. Thanks for this impressions!
hahaha
wow! I'm mesmerised by your writing & photos... I wish I could go there someday....hoping for the best....
칼라사진과 흑백사진이 매우 흥미로운 대조를 이루네요~
폐가가 남긴 잔해가 그저 안타깝게 느껴지네요~~ 쓰레기까지...
지난 주에 새로운 이벤트를 시작해 보았습니다.. 아이들과 당첨자를 뽑으며 즐거운 이벤트를 마무리 하는 동영상까지.. 나름 새로운 시도를 해보았습니다^^ 목요일밤에 찾아와 주세요 ^^
감사합니다.
@slowwalker nim, kamsahamnida for the last time
