Spring's Almost Over?



This photo by Tak Ki-hyoung was taken on the 22nd of April after heavy showers and strong gusts caused the cherry blossoms to fall from the trees around the National Assembly building in Yeouido. Jackson Pollock could draw inspiration from the pretty picture they make on the ground.

What I'd like to know is where the photographer was standing to take this great shot.  Perched on a tree or does he have access to a high floor on some official building nearby?

Check out this article on where to catch the last sights of this all-too-fleeting season in Korea this year.

Hi Mary,
What's heart-breaking is someone planning to go to Yeouido expecting to see the petals on the branches and finding the rains and winds have beaten her to it.
Ha2.
Regards and thanks for all your comments!
