Korean War Memorial

It's been a weird few weeks here South of the Border. Like I mentioned before, Roh's death drew the attention of many away from North Korea's latest saber rattling but as the week drew to an end I found myself more contemplative than usual. The result: a highly surreal visit to Seoul's War Memorial. I can't explain exactly what drew me there but I went as if compelled as the sun set on another week in Korea. Maybe it was the fading light combined with the immediacy of recent events, but it was still sight to behold.*






Thank God for the sweet, simple relief of flowers!
