Autumn at Night in the Palace... ...

A stroll in the palace at night...
Enjoying the autumn view at night...
Amazingly ....splendidly....arranged lighting cast on the linebup of trees
Doksugung Palace at night was like a completely different palace I never knew.
The gate wouldn't really tell what's inside...but once you're inside the complex,
You'll wish you had more time.

Daehan Empire History Museum at Night

The Daehan Empire History Museum...
..is the restored palace of the Korean Empire 1897~1910.
It's one place to go to learn about the lives of Korean imperial family as well as their culture during its heyday 
This building is actually named Sekjojeon 석조전 with a Neoclassical architecture.
It caters the wholly needs of the families...in terms of grand dining hall private library...
The current feature is the result of massive restoration since 2009...and opened for public in October 2014.
...so..it's practically a new place to hang out with Korean modern history.
Oh...it's a three floored palace where Emperor Gojong....along with his...
..families...staffs...lived under one roof.
I managed to see the back of it...and wow...it looked cool...yet..I didn't see many people there...which was quite an advantage, actually 
I bet it's due to the rain...and...that not many people decided to go to the palace at night.
...but...for those wanting to experience something different...
...with only 1,000 won or not even $1...
We could savor the different side of Korean history...in style.

A Blend of Past ~ Present

As I was walking into the Doksugung Palace, I noticed a uniqueness that I could only see from this side...
...highrises as the background of the palace seemed to be a must-be-pothographed section of the palace.
It's nothing particularly great or wow-ing...but..there's a sense of calmness in the midst of the city...
...since just a few minutes earlier, I was right at the center of Seoul with its traffic and all, but.... 
..look at this...
I love the blend of Traditional and modern world in one place!
....and as I kept on walking into the inner part of the palace....I found even more amazing view.....enjoyable only at night!
....Doksugung in a different perspective....
Thanks to my Sony Alpha camera...that accompanying me all along.
