[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"Jikjisa is a head temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. It is located on the slopes of Hwangaksan in Daehang-myeon, Gimcheon, in the province of Gyeongsangbok-do. It may be one of the oldest temples in South Korea.

Jikjisa is relatively well-connected to train and bus service. Jikjisa Station is located at the foot of the mountain, along the Gyeongbu Line railroad. It is served only by the local commuter trains, which run twice daily in each direction.

Jikjisa is believed to have been first constructed by the Goguryeo monk Ado in the year 418, long before Buddhism gained general acceptance in Silla. Jikjisa was largely destroyed during the Seven Year War (with Japan) in the 1590s. The rebuilding lasted from 1610 to about 1670."

This is the park & artificial waterfall, at the entrance to the temple, at the foot of the bg mountain, a 10 minute walk away.

Hi Chris,

The presence of the persons has an effect of scale. The point of view leads our eyes toward the mountains which is giving depth to the composition. It is also showing the details and colors of the park. A good managemnt of the light which is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Pierre

Ciao Chris, splendid composition with wonderful waterfall, fantastic colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

What a beautiful park. I always think things like this don't really exist in South Korea. I always thing of just large cities. This is a beautiful place and you've done a great job of capturing it.
