History

Visiting the Deoksugung palace, you can see some of the guards, dressed in their traditional outfits. This guy is playing the role of the leader of the guards and basically gives all orders to the other guards. He oversees that everything runs smoothly.

These guards stand for hours on end outside these gates and I can't help to feel sorry for them. I thought it wise to capture a piece of "History" as it were a few hundred years ago.

Day 8 of my challenge I decided to do a panorama. This picture was taken at Deoksugung Palace.

"Deoksugung Palace is one of the five palaces from the Jeseon Dynasty which lasted over 500 years."

If you want to find more information about this palace read here.

What makes this palace so unique today as well, is the fact that is smack in the middle of Seoul and the massive modern skyline is visible all around. It also features an art Museum and Modern "Western style" Palace, which was used to sign the agreement between The Soviet union and The USA to "pause" the Korean war.

The panorama here shows the skyline, the throne chamber in the middle and the modern palace on the left side. It was truly a good sight to see.
