Thank you so much for sharing this post. I clicked it open out of vague curiosity and found myself strongly moved by the photos themselves. Especially the first one of the temple and the one of your mom taking a picture. I can't say why they moved me so much, but they did. I also loved your observations that even in Korea people don't know what the gates mean anymore and the observation about the horses' trough being a parking lot of old. I loved this post. It made my morning a bit magical somehow.
