Two Ads I Saw at Subway Station

wait...this is not the one I saw at the station, but I bumped into this ad on the subway. This tells about ..wow...this is interesting....each region's best produce. wow...I think I could refer to this ad..and this picture to know what the specialties of a specific region are. Hmm..but..it's so darn cute and small. Too small to read.^^ People would just shrug it off..and would not notice it. 

The second one is about a charity campaign to warm the hearts of the passers by or the commuters. A story of an orphan who had to live with his (supposedly) grandmother and had to sustain on his own life. A help would be a warm blessing for him. 

I wonder how he's doing now. Hope things got better for him and his grandma. 

* but..one thing that quite intrigued me was ...whether...the same ad with the same picture will be used (again) next year? or..was there any chance that this particular ad was already used in the past?

either way...that would be so....oh, well.

Just hope for the best for the boy.

A Glimpse of A Bridge and Its Wonders Beneath

Moments as I was walking .....passing through the bridge and...enjoying what's underneath.

A recollection of what's in store from a simple walk home from work.^^

The fish-net-like suspension. Dizzyingly high.

A gem in winter...found underneath the bridge.

A gem in winter...found in the city night lights.

A gem in winter...found in the unique design of the bridge. 

A Night View of A Library/Art Center @ Seoul Dream Forest

No one was visible. Gee...the winter ..cold snap...really refrained lots of people from going out, especially at night like this. It's so darn cold, alright. 

The night was bright...starless. The lights in the library were lit on, for sure..since it opens until 9 pm as usual. But, then again...I didn't find or see any single soul. The positive sight" it's giving me a creepy feeling, yet a feel-good notion that this was probably a new thing to see at this usually-crowded library in summer.

Again....with the starless night as its backdrop, the library and the observation deck (beyond) were like a solitary building ..where one could even meditate.ㅋㅋㅋ

Free access. Lots of facilities to pamper anyone enjoying this public space. What's more to expect from this venue..a perfect one for family or group outing? 

*But, not during this particular weather, apparently. 

The plus side? the whole place was all-MINE. I could freely take pictures and pictures..without anyone passing me by....^^

The observation deck and the library.

Cafe. La Foresta....named after the place where it is located. A seemingly cozy and warm place to hang out and to chill out.

Seoul Dream Forest's gate....with its blaring sign.

Hazy Part of Seoul from Observation Deck @ Seoul Dream Forest

Finally....I made it....reaching the top floor at the observation deck after taking a 45-degree-slanted elevator. It wasn't that much, though. It's just a bit eerie considering no other person was at the deck. It's an evening ...winter night.

Seoul...the northeastern part of Seoul was visible from here. What's visible from there? hmm what else but apartments? yup, the quintessential part of Seoul is apartment..apartment and apartment complex. ...which sprawling across the city everywhere we lay our eyes onto.^^

I love this particular picture simply because I saw one particular red-and-white chimney protruding behind a hill.^^ Loved it.

The hill. The forest. The city. The night lights....in one frame.

IRIS? yep...this particular place was the location of a Korean TV drama titled "IRIS"

These were actually chairs....I found on the observation deck.

Deliberately put them in a row and then let my camera saw the city right through them. And..this is what I got from there.

The night's getting merrier. Though no other visitors were coming..and boy..it's creepy inside...but boy...the view outside was okay, though.

But, too bad..the glass on the deck was a bit dirty. I couldn't get a clearer picture of the night view. I wished they'd cleaned them up, though.

But..all in all...for a glimpse look of what Seoul may look like...okay-lah.

Of course, it cannot beat the view we'd see from Seoul N Tower which gives us 360-degree of the whole Seoul, but this is ...after all...a free view!

Yup..going up onto the observation deck at Seoul Dream Forest is completely FREE. 

Seoul and Train Tracks

From the 8th floor of Cheongnyangni station. I was dragging myself...literally speaking haha...to make me see what it would look like from above...the train tracks I pass on a daily basis.

I mean...yup...these are the rail tracks that he subway I ride everyday pass on by.(??)

It doesn't look that much....simply a barren-looking lines of tracks....well.for some maybe...

but..for my weary eyes...that needed something to see....

...finding this spot...and take a moment to see what's beneath...was a truly 'okay' time for me who needed something to distract myself from routine daily commuting.

It just so happened..that a red train passing me by...under...

again..an empty tracks in winter....oh, no...it's not empty..there's one subway...on the left side.

A blue sky really beautified the scenery. Indeed, had the skies not been blue, I wouldn't have dared myself ....going outside onto the 8th floor to enjoy the moment.
