Two Different Worlds

A pinecone on a fence.

Autumn leaves on a fence.

Some recollections of what the gone 2015 autumn was like. 

Bonghwasan: Re-visited: Some More Pictures

It's just 160-meter high mountain or hill~so to speak.

..with steps like these all the way up to the top, this is completely different from any mountain hiking back home in Indonesia.

...so...it's like a walking or strolling in the woods. oh...I was...taking a picture of the tree....when my wife snapped a picture of me^^

See? Seen from.these signposts...the distances to other posts were not that far.

Yet....it's full of adventures for those two girls. . . Eyra and Freya....^^

...this is the tree I took a picture of...

...and it's amazingly pretty.

...not that interesting to the naked eyes...but when I took.a closer look onto it...hmm..the concentric rings seemed to be so intriguing.

...not to mention the logs....wood....trees...as they were...in the woods a.k.a.city forest of Bonghwasan.

*Take Subway line 7 exit 2 or 3...turn at the first alley leading up to the hiking trail.

On the Top of Bonghwasan (part 4): Mom and the Kids

Looked like they're discussing about a foliage they found earlier.

They're having fun...eating cheesecake.

..a slice of cake to share...^^

It's nice to share something eh?

We're at the top where Bongsudae was located....

...a Taegukki...was flapping on its pole...

...oh...another discussion about an autumn leaf!!!^^

....continuing....

...oh....they hadn't finished. ..not just yet...

....oh Boooyyyyy....

Ok...let me explore more....I found this pine cone perched on a rooftop of a Korean traditional house.

...yup...we're then having fun at the side of the house...

....the weather's too nice to just quit for the day...

Freya seemed to have endless ideas of how to make the best of her time...

....but we got to descend from the top since it passed 6 pm...

...so..bye bye Bonghwasan. Cu again...maybe in Winter in snow???

On the Top of Bonghwasan (part 3): Me and The Kids

Bonghwasan....justb1 km away from our apartment. Meokgol station line 7. Exit 2 or 3....and walk up to the first alley leading to the mountain.

Eyra and Freya were having fun....seemingly.

But I'm sure they're so. Afterall..they're having the hiking experience with their Daddy.

Freya....geee...I love her expression...

뭘 쳐다보고 있나?

아빠와 함께 하는 등산은 최고였죠?

아빠도 신나게  시간을 보내서  ...해피다.

이렇게 니가  서로 사랑하는 모습을 보고 나니...

Kami senang melihat kalian berdua jg senang....

Semoga selalu ingat momen monen ini...

....oiuy...ini pohon di musim gugur yg sempet Papa foto saat kita turun gunung.

Bonghwasan ....《part 2: From Atop

Senja terlihat dari atas puncak Bonghwasan.

Sayang banyak awan jd tak terlihat mentarinya.

Namun tetep bs melihat Seoul yg padet banget.

It's a good thing it's not that cold...

...so we could at least stay on the top for 30 minutes or so.

The sun was about to set...

...then we found a stupa-like monument...

...which turned out to be...Achasan Bongsudae 봉수대. What's this?

It's an ancient military communication system using smoke as signals to alert other troops or guards about the approaching arrival of enemy/enemies.

But....of course it's all in the past. We don't need it^^

A stupa-like from afar.

We're glad to let the kids know about....though a bit about history...

...while enjoying the natural surroundings.

Eyra.....right at the side of Bongsudae.
