This is my 1st entry to the new #bwphotocontest (Travel theme). The challenge is organised by @daveks and announced here.

As always, all pictures in the photography section are mine and taken with my camera, a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.

Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul (Korea)

I visited Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul a few years ago during my backpacking tour around Eastern Asia. The palace was built in 1395 and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. It was burnt down in 1592 by Japanese invasions and was in ruins for 300 years until they rebuilt it in 1865. And then again destroyed by the Japanese.

Yes, this was during my first trip to Korea. I actually enjoyed it so much I decided to live there for some time (2012-2013). I have a big collection of photos from both Korea and North Korea (been there as well during those years) which I love to share with a wide audience! :)

You should definitely visit Korea sometime. And let me know if you want to have some insider tips ;)

Sounds pretty awesome, it's cool you go to experience life on the other side of the planet, that must be so different and exciting. I have never been to any country in Asia before, I would love to go though.
I think my husband @matt-a was really wanting to go to Korea, I will let him know to check out your blog, thanks!
