GYEONGJU – Seokguram Grotto

Posted in korea, photos, travel on 09/11/2010 04:55 pm by CeD

you reach the grotto after a 15min walk along a nice and refreshing path through the forest, ideally covered by trees, a relief !


A beautiful 3.5m high buddha sits in the middle of the grotto. As the humidity and air is tightly controlled to protect the place, it is forbidden to enter inside the chamber (with one exception : on the birthday of Buddha, when authorities remove the glass wall).
Below are three shots of the colorful prayers hanging all around the grotto. more infos on wikipedia

    Le N&B rends parfaitement. C’était une photo couleur non?

    Coréennes les boules, Pierre, Coréenes :-)
    photo prise directement en Noir et Blanc, grace à mes profils persos enregistrés dans l’appareil (noir et blanc avec courbe de niveaux deplacée pour fort contraste)
    adieu le post-processing :-)
