Chubby Weight lifter!! @ Jamsil

Walking towards Seoul Tower @Jamsil. Encountered this chubby looking statue.so cute that I couldn't refrain myself from not taking a pic.

Not many people. ...

I just loveeeed the branches of the trees in winter.

롯데타워가 보인다. 맑은 날속에 멋지게될 건물.

자전거들이 나란히 서서 얘기하듯^^ 

2015년 설날 오후 3시경.

Seoul Olympic Park in Autumn (part 6)

 We're already at the rear entrance of the park where we got to cross the bridge. I think it's the first time that I noticed this kind of arch-type bridge in Korea. Though small in size, still I found it romantic. 

oh, talking about romanticism, a couple was walking on the bridge when I was about to take a picture of Eyra. 

This was a perfect blend of nature, modernity, and ....arch-type bridge. 

what a great day it has been. 

just couldn't get enough of the bridge... 

a look through the bridge... 

A reflection of colors..

..

cars, bicycle, pedestrian, colorful leaves... 

Just when we thought we couldn't any more space to see..we found this spot.

... 

and this one, too. 

the Olympic Park was indeed a great place to hang out in the afternoon. 

Right, Ma? Well,judging from the looks, it sure made you ticked with excitement, right? 

One more moment being captured through the cam.

Happy Autumn Day.:)

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....

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.
