A sense of unrest permeates these photos, @slowwalker. It seems the common people in Korea have suffered through many things over the centuries and in the modern era have had to resist dictatorship and injustice.

The sight of ordinary citizens taking to the streets in protest is an example of democracy in action. Too often in its long history have the people of Korea suffered under their rulers.

Your previous posts about Seoul City remind us that it has always been a fortified city, surrounded by gates and walls, and having to defend itself against foreign enemies. It seems little has changed that way in the modern era.

Your photos are a panorama of a country rising up and taking back its freedom, and they are a testimony to many who have sacrificed their lives.

The politicians and the military have their own agenda, my friend, but ultimately the will of the people will prevail.

A good post today, @slowwalker
