Opening | Wednesday Wonders

An entry for this week’s Photo A Week Challenge: Opening

Or more like two photos.

This week, I am posting two photos. Each with a unique style. Each representing a different time period in South Korea.

Letting the light come in.

Modern eco-friendly designs and architecture means getting the most out of what is present in the environment [1]. This building in Daejeon uses natural lighting in the daytime with its big windows and opening in the ceiling. The frames of such openings are also very unique and interesting.

Where people come and go

This is one of the gates of the Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul taken from inside the grounds of the palace. Gwanghwamun Gate is the main gate of the palace and was last restored in 2006. The gate was again officially opened to the public in 2010. [2]

During the last restoration project, traditional materials were used and its original wooden structure was used. According to Wikipedia, “the aim of the latest renovation was to restore Gwanghwamun to its original wooden construction while paying meticulous attention to historical accuracy.” [2]

At last, a new post! I was having trouble finishing other blog posts so I’m already late for my schedule. Nevertheless, here’s a new entry.

I also made a photo collage for Pinterest using Canva for my Wednesday Wonders entries:

All the photos were taken by me with an iPhone and enhanced using the Lightroom App. How did you find this post? Please leave at least one comment! 

Thanks!
