Gyeongbok Palace, Seoul Korea

This is a tranquil image of Gyeonbok Palace located in Seoul Korea. The history of this place goes back to 1394 when King Taejo of Chosun built the palace. The buildings on the palace grounds are beautiful and the paint is intricate. It is a must see for anyone visiting Seoul.

The second view shows the cherry blossoms in the early stages of blooming. It is interesting trying to imagine the palace when it was used as the main palace of the Chosun Dynasty.
