Another palace

This time it is Changgyeonggung, which is linked to the royal ancestral shrines at Jongmyo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The first picture is of the hall containing the throne. Then there are some roofs, and below that is a picture of the very long hall that contains many of the royal ancestral tablets of the Joseon dynasty, which ruled for several hundred years until the Japanese came in the 1900s. The hall was not open to visitors.








Autumn is drifting away now, and the colour is dropping to the ground. Here, there is still some left on the trees. The Korean love of taking photographs of each other in every place that could remotely claim to be 'romantic' is on display.



And here are three pigeons enjoying the lazy Sunday afternoon.



Outside the shrines and palace was a large gathering of old people listening to loud and out of tune performances. This out-of-tunity seems to be very popular. They were dancing too.
