pungnaptoseong (풍납토성)


for half of the field trips with my school, we drive by these statues, and i always want to take photos...sooo, the weekend of my birthday, i did exactly that...they're really close to pungnaptoseong, which is the remains of what used to be a wall fortifying what eventually became seoul...



i can see pungnaptoseong from the windows in my flat, and the weather was wonderful, so why not go for a walk? i love setting up my camera and taking photos of myself with the timer...it's shallow, i know, but i love it, and do it all the time when i'm around something or somewhere i think is photoworthy...it's the whole "i want to prove i was actually there" mentality, i suppose...i don't have much to show for my life other than proof that i've been a whole lot of places...at least, more than most...



pungnaptoseong...as you can see, there isn't much left...and it must be mowed regularly...you can't walk up on it, only around it...so i decided to do so...the eternal hunt for the perfect photo i suppose...
