All for the love of Buddha

Buddha's birthday is a national holiday in Korea.  Next week on the 28th, he's turning 2500 years old (give or take a couple decades).  In celebration and anticipation for it, Seoul had a few late night festivities going on including the lighting of Gyeongbok Palace for five days and the Lantern Festival and Parade.

Friday night, sunset hike on Gaewahsan Mountain, making that my fourth climb in 7 days.

View of West Seoul as the sun sets.

Zoomed in on a mountain side filled with thousands of azalea flower plants.  One of the most breathtaking places I've ever been.

Faking a reflective pose along Cheongpyeong Lake.  Such a beautiful place.

Obsessed with spring time in Korea.

Getting late, but I can't seem to stop taking photos.
