After posting an etching of Palmyra,
a Syrian archaeological site I have missed several chances to visit, I’m back trying to fill in for the missed opportunity to see South Korea later this year.
This temple is one of the fascinating places I’d heard about
for the first time when I was researching South Korea’s ‘painting
possibilities’ in Google Images. Unlike most Buddhist temples in Korea, typically built high in the mountains, Haedong
Yonggungsa is spectacularly situated overlooking the East
China Sea. It was built in
1376, and is one of the major Buddhist temples in Busan.
