On the evening of June 4th, 2025, I met three or four cats at the entrance of Songdo Yongkung Sky Walk in Busan. They didn’t run away but naturally let me photograph their various poses—lying down, hiding behind posts, resting on chairs. They stayed with me until I finished, then walked away gracefully. Their unexpected gentleness filled my heart with gratitude.
On the afternoon of June 3rd, 2025, I explored Haedong Yonggungsa Temple in Busan. This seaside temple attracted many visitors, but my biggest surprise was finding three small monk statues in a quiet corner. With poses covering ears, bowing in thought, and covering eyes, they teach the Buddhist wisdom of “hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil.” From the traditional Korean gate to the Eighteen Arhats at Samcheonggung Pond, from the Guanyin statue behind the dragon to the great egret I met on my way back, this journey taught me that the most precious discoveries often hide in the most overlooked places.
At the end of May, I climbed up to Apsan Observatory in Daegu. I sat in the cable car station café, looking out through the big windows at the city below. The sky was clear but a little misty, which made everything look soft and dreamy. From the top of the mountain, I could see
On May 29, 2025, after leaving Dongseongno, I visited Gyesan Cathedral and March 1st Movement Road in Daegu. The weather was perfect that day, with gentle sunshine falling on this land full of historical meaning. Though Gyesan Cathedral is not very large, it has a beautiful European-style pointed tower design. The statue of Christ at
On May 29th, 2025, I visited Yakryeongsi in Daegu, a charming district steeped in traditional Korean medicine culture. The day was blessed with gentle sunshine and clear skies, with a soft breeze that made it perfect for leisurely strolling and photography. The streets had a pleasant flow of visitors, maintaining a lively atmosphere while preserving
On May 28, 2025, after finishing my photo session at E-World, I visited Daegu 83 Tower. The late afternoon sky was getting cloudier, and light rain began to fall, but this weather made me even more excited. There were very few people around the tower, which gave me plenty of time to compose my shots
On May 28th, I visited E-World in Daegu and spent a wonderful time on this sunny day. The sky was bright blue with gentle sunshine, making the whole park look especially beautiful under the lovely weather. Unlike other visitors, I didn’t wait in lines for exciting rides. Instead, I brought my camera to find beautiful
On the early morning of April 21st, I waited for the sunrise at Chaowu Pier. I arrived at the scene around 4:30 AM, quietly waiting for the sky to change. Close to 5 o’clock, the sky had already turned from the darkness of night into a soft blue color. The lake surface had gentle ripples,
On April 17th, 2025, I spent a peaceful morning photographing at Siaosyueshan Tianchi. Under soft morning light, I captured images of a Coal Tit, a Flamecrest, and had a memorable encounter with a Formosan Reeves’s Muntjac near Ruixue Pavilion. Through careful observation at a respectful distance, I experienced a delicate moment of trust between human and wildlife.
In mid-April, I embarked on my very first firefly photography adventure. I chose several renowned firefly viewing spots in Taiwan: Dongshi Forest Garden, the Water Alley of Sun Moon Lake, Sansheng Yuan Area, and Changyuan Canal Ecological Trail. These locations not only offered abundant firefly populations but also provided open views to capture the starry
