Changdeokgung Secret Garden

Matt Tilghman

This is the Changdeokgung Secret Garden, in South Korea. I like Changdeokgung most of all the palaces in Seoul, even without the Secret Garden. I just find it more interesting. It has more little enclaves to discover, and more variety of architecture. But the Secret Garden puts it on another level. Unlike most of Seoul's national treasures, the Secret Garden escaped total ruin from Japanese invaders. I am grateful that it survived, because it is truly a place to cherish.

Color and composition are wonderful, particularly in the first image. This looks like a lovely spot.
