Seoul Olympic Park in Autumn (part 5)

 The sun's about to set and we got to go home.

But, before that.... 

let's take a family portrait, first. 

We got to climb up the hill to go down into the subway station. 

But since the view was endearingly beautiful, I didn't mind walking up the hill. 

The 2nd family pic at the park. 

On my way going up the hill, I zoomed a far away shot of the park down below. 

Eyra & her Mom. 

A vast lawn of green (well, it's changing into orange-hued color)...was enough to mesmerize anyone who loves outdoor activities. 

Wait, what about Eyra & her Daddy? 

The path leading up the hill... 

The sun's hiding behind the high rises... 

and...that's it, girl. 

Hope you enjoy your trip today to the Olympic Park.

Seoul Olympic Park In Autumn (part 4)

One place we needed to see was the lonely tree:)

so, we kept on walking. 

oh, well...Mama couldn't resist herself from not taking pictures along the way. 

what's with the look, Fre? 

oh, my first picture in the park... 

Within a few minutes of walking, we reached the second plaza where the famous 'lonely tree' is located.  

There it was.

More people were pouring into the area... 

wait up, Freya. Gosh..she just couldn't wait. In a split of a second, she was already up ahead of me...running towards the tree. 

I'd better enjoy what the surrounding had for us.

I thought that no one was allowed to be in the perimeter of the tree, but I saw three people were right next to the tree! 

Let's take a pic to capture the moment, gals. 

Finally, with one last persuasion, Freya agreed to stand still and...let me do the job. 

The shadows....

Seoul Olympics Park in Autumn (part 3)

We walked up the hill .... 

to see some parts of Olympic stadiums from atop. 

They're learning a thing or two... 

a bird I didn't know what...perched on a tree.. 

Kept on walking until we reached a pedestrian and bicycle lane... 

that led us to flower beds... 

which enticed anyone... 

to take a moment, step back, enjoy the flower...or immortalize it in picture. 

Okay, Mama's always into flowers.... 

While Freya's been into animals. She encountered this brown rabbit at the park... 

and soon...other people were following along.

they kept on clicking on the shutter ..enough to scare the rabbit away....?^^ 

nope. It didn't budge. 

Olympic Park in Autumn 2013 (part 1)

We've never been to Olympic Park before. 

It's the venue of Seoul Summer Olympic back in 1988. Wow..that was like 25 years ago. 

Since it's Autumn and we did not want to go out of town, yet.

We might as well check this place out. 

Good thing..the line up of trees had turned into colorful red, yellow, orange, and partly green. 

Surely the girls loved to be there.

Especially with relatively warm weather compared to the previous day... 

We got tons of things to check out. And the first thing that I noticed was...this. 

I learned that back in 1988 during Seoul Olympic, the organizers deliberately invited international artists, sculptors..to make something that would stay against the test of time to testify about the Olympic in Seou.

This one was called 'Impersonation Station' --Gee..I didn't know what that means, though. 

Okay..let us take another stroll into other parts of the park....and wow..the trees!!! 

One fine great day to spend an afternoon, eh, girls?

....

Then, we're approaching the main plaza where another artistic stature/statue/work of art was visible from afar. 

 

Didn't know what that was...though.

But it surely meant something. (sigh: didn't have time to check it out)

I must admit that it must've been immensely impressive back in the 1988.
