'Chuseok' is Korean Thanksgiving. Some circular flower wreaths here, taken in the main street of Danyang, a resort town, reconstructed when damming of the Namhan River flooded the old, original town, in 1986. Source: http://www.lifeinkorea.com/Travel2/nchungchong/83

"'Chuseok' (Korean: 추석), originally known as Hangawee (한가위) (from archaic Korean for "great middle"), is a major harvest festival and a three-day holiday in Korea celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Like many other harvest festivals, it is held around the Autumn Equinox. As a celebration of the good harvest, Koreans visit their ancestral hometowns and share a feast of Korean traditional food."

Good morning, Chris!

Great capture with a wonderful cultural motive! I like teh superb show of colors in the shot with nice sharopness and from a well chosen POV. The DOF is kept very well.

The character looks originally from "Kanji" language?

Very well done, my friend.

Very attractive display Chris. Are they real flowers? I can't quite make up my mind if they are or not. (No I think not!)
But still a nicely composed image with teh sharp flowers and colours showing off well,

Thanks for both the excellent photo and for sharing the details of the harvest feast of another culture. The repetition of colorful wreaths is nicely framed and super sharp. TFS

Chris as it is fall here, the colors in this photo are something we are seeing at this time and well represented by this.
Good use of the frame space and notes to explain what it represents.
