Gyeongbokgung at night

Last week Gyeongbok Palace stayed open past its usual closing time of 6pm for a series of special, night time, 'not-to-be-missed' events. Eager not to miss such a special opportunity, I went along with my photography pals and my camera in the hope of seeing some pretty sights and to take some pretty pictures. Although it was busy and particularly crowed by the prime spot, 'the lake,' (can't tell you how many times my feet were trodden on... by pesky tripods nonetheless!) the scenes throughout the sunset, the twilight and the complete (natural) darkness were all absolutely exquisite. The beautiful images before me captured my eyes and held me there, mesmerised, for the duration.

I hope my pictures do this spectacular sight justice and I hope you enjoy looking at them as much I as enjoyed taking them :)
