Temple and Drinking Fountain
Temple and Drinking Fountain, Republic of Korea.
I have no idea where this was. It was about 5-6 weeks into my journey and at that point, it didn’t seem to matter. I was just seeing…feeling…capturing what was presented to the lens.

Nature’s Child: Thanks for liking my image “Temple and Drinking Fountain”. One cannot walk by such a bucolic scene such as this without attempting to capture its aura. Did I succeed?

Yes, you did capture the aura!
I am drawn to the vibrant colours of the temples aura, so mesmerizing.
The water fountain has it’s own aura of pure white light just off the surface of the flowing water.
I would like to see the inside of the temple, did you enter and capture it as well, or was it too sacred to enter and photograph?

Thank you. I was hoping I did. Capturing something unseen by the eye is difficult. My thinking is that if a photographer feels the aura, it will be portrayed in the image.
I did enter this temple, but I kept my camera in my backpack out of respect. I did capture a close up of the drinking fountain only.

This style of fountain is found all over S. Korea in rural areas, sometimes with one tin cup for all !

Thank you Lezlie. I have a friend who has seen all my Korean images. Last year, she visited Korea and when she came back she told me, “Your Korea no longer exists.” She was wrong…it exists in my heart and soul.

You and your images have made me fall in love with this country. It hurts my heart to think that “your Korea no longer exists”. I don’t want to believe it. This just makes your images all that much more precious.

South Korea, from the 38th parallel dividing north and south to the southernmost tip is the size of Florida. I think a lot of these small countries look towards the US as a template for success. That’s their first mistake…
