Changdeokgung Palace (part 2)

...was ready to leave when I spotted another chimney to get myself drawn into.
Right..the sun was shyly shining behind the clouds...when I spotted a chimney...
...kept on walking through the hall over the hall...spread as far as I could see...
The roofs of this particular palace seemed to be the only roofs crammed in one palace..different from what I saw in other palaces in Seoul. I could be wrong, though...
But..boy..oh boy..this section in particular was the only spot that caught my attention far longer than the other sections in the whole palace.
I mean..I could enjoy the intricate designs, the ornaments, the colors, the laid bare red bricks ...the carving on the roof tiles...
This is quite something new for me..since I always thought that the color of red usually dot the whole palace...but I was apparently wrong.
The distinguishable colors of green, red, yellow, pink(?), black...indeed beautified this particular section at Changdeok Palace.
Who would've thought that I'd spent another 30-minute..and counting....again and again..in this particular spot at the palace.
That's nothing sort of new...considering myself as a chimney lover.^^
The quintessential ornament in any palace in Korea. 
Blue skies with friendly clouds...accompanying me continuing my lone journey into the palace lot.

A Brief Re-Visit to Hanok Village

 Delve into the details of Hanok...that's what I wanted to recapture.
But then...it was a hot yet bright day.
See? It's seamlessly beautiful.
Then...it's time to go into the house.
First. ..the door handle caught my attention. See how it aged...
A peek into the kitchen.
And the wooden handrails over the rooms...
...and then a look into the interior of a room.
It's unmistakably so.Hanok.in.style.
A look.out.to.look.at.
Another door handle. Wait..it's the same as the previous one. Only...this time..I took the picture from inside the house.
Yup...it's another doorknob.
Wooden ornament and an iron latch (?)...
An old dilapidated wooden floor only accentuated the oddness of the house...which is great!
What would a hanok without these kimchi earthenwares?
