Wow, they look deadly serious. Ooops, bad choice of metaphor. Great shots, lots of color.

Thanks, Stan. These are volunteers who donate their time doing these things, and they were taking the role quite seriously!

About a month and had a great time of my life there.... So many places to go and see, so many different food to taste...

I only had about 15 minutes in all to take pictures of the royal palace guards above at Gyeung Bok Goong, as early monsoon rain started falling and they had to cancel the ceremonies...

Wonderful series of images, colors are so vivid. Number 4 is I miss Korea after seeing your images, such a wonderful place to photograph, so many moments to capture. Thanks for sharing.
