Seoul Palaces

I’m still bashing my way through the umpteen billion photos I took during the Korea trip. The latest up on flickr is a set of the palaces of Seoul. Rather than try and explain thousands of years of Korean history (other than “They built it, the Japanese burnt it to the ground. Rinse. Repeat,”) Wikipedia has great articles on both Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung, two of the Five Grand Palaces built during the Joseon Dynasty, that I visited whilst I was in Seoul.

Stairway to heaven
