Hot Summer and a Magpie

in #travel7 years ago

The most important thing in our life is a our ordinary daily life.
We can enjoy our common daily life peacefully in a very narrow circumstnaces.

Around the Korean Peninsula, the words relating the war are spoken by mad north korean young leader Kim Jeong Eun. On the neswpaper the analisys articles were written.

I 'd like to continue my posting peacefully.
But if that mad guy threat our peace, I will take my gun and sword aginst mad guy for our children.

Today I am posting with my earnest hope to continue and enjoy this some boring and not a special daily life.

It was really hot summer.
I had been wandering for several days near the East Gate. There were so many things around the East Gate.

Near East Gate I was looking around the water gate which had been built 600 years ago.

It was well preserved even though it was located in the center of Seoul city. It had been outside area of the Seoul, but The area of watergate became the center of Seoul as Seoul was getting bigger.
The watergate was connected to the wall

As walking along the wall, I saw a magpie sitting in the middle of the tree.

A little boy was taking a photo of magppie. It was really hot summer, so the magpie seemed to escape from heat.

The magpie is a resident bird in Korea.
The magpie is believed very clever. The know how to escape from hot summer.

I took close photos of the magpie.

It was too hot to continue to trek the Seoul.
As soon as taking the photo of the magpie, I returned to home to rest.

Upvoted!

I wish you peace and happiness.

Showing you kindness and I hope you can show kindness back to me.

Peace!

yes I agree, the ordinary life is that what is making our life so special, even a breakfast ritual, like my butter and jam bread , I just love it :) how much degrees were it today in Seoul?

normal weather
thank you

Man i always enjoy reading your post and watching capture in pictures. you such a good writer and photograph. thanks for taking your time posting your work on steemit

Thank you for reading

take a lesson from the magpie and the little boy, @slowwalker.

When threatened with storms or oppressive heat, the wise magpie seeks shelter and doesn't panic or fly away even when the boy comes near...and sometimes boys possess dangerous toys :)

I was impressed with the construction details of the water gate - the boulders lined the bottom so the flow of water would not erode the soil and the water gate would last, as indeed, it has.

I am glad you can take solace in the routines of daily life amidst the gathering storm that threatens the region. I leave you with this encouragement, my friend:

I am not concerned with great matters
or with subjects too difficult for me.
Instead, I am content and at peace.
As a child lies quietly in its mother's arms,
so my heart is quiet within me.
trust in God
now and forever!

Thank you so much as always

Beautiful bridge it has a sense of roman empire, i really like to see nature in the middle of buildings.

that's good scene

Yes sir really good pics the bridge looks similar to one in my country where simon bolivar fought calling the boyaca bridge

kim jeong un will die like gaddafi

Some amazing shots as usual mate!
Don't worry about this bastard, he will end very soon!
Peace and love must be reigned all over the world!
@progressivechef

Do not use gun with gun, no one win war. Young people are send to die.

수원에는 낮에 비가 내렸습니다.
슬로우워커님이 찍은 까치가 반가운 손님(비)를 몰고 왔나봅니다.

날씨가 조금 시원해지네요
입추가 지나서 그런가요

such a lovely place to visit, great photos and details, thanks
good day to you!

thank you,

This bird is very often I see in the forest, in the language of Aceh this bird is called ''cici''

cici pretty name



That final shot of the bird looks like a tricky one but you absolutely nailed it.
Keep smiling and staying positive! :)I'm glad that you are staying optimistic, peaceful and jubilant @slowwalker despite the animosity and negativity that is brewing. Great Photographs @slowwalker.

Thank you so much

That is a very pretty tree and I love all the walking space where you are. Smart of you to seek the cool of your home--just like the magpie was seeking the cool of the tree's shade.

This handsome man will bring you luck)))

Thank you once again

Beautiful travel place and good photo shoot. Korea is one of the most beautiful tourist attractions. I will be there

Welcome anytime.
I will show you true face of seoul

Yes, thank you. I wait for your post again and ready to upvote and resteem.

It's great to know about this unique and beautiful bird -- MAGPIE. From where I live, Kingfisher is famous mostly. I have never heard about MAGPIE until now and I am glad to know about it :)

Yes. Magpie is living mainly in korea, japan and China

Good to know sir. Thank you :)

Very insightful post. The Magpie realizes that he must take care of himself with what is available.

Yes it is very smart

I like the tree on which the magpie is sitting. We have lots of birds here who visit our property every day. They always remind me to appreciate my life and my reality. I whisper "Thank you for visiting us" whenever I see them outside my kitchen window

you live happy life

It is nice to read your posts and see how much you appreciate your daily surrounding. We here have much to appreciate from our lives. I no longer live in a city like Seoul. I am now in a place surrounded by nature. I love my life and I try to remember how much I should appreciate whenever I read of other people's struggles.

It is amazing too see how the present city synchronize with the history of the people. They look and feel great together, even it is, like what you have said, built 600 years ago.

The way korea preserves their historical landmarks are truly impressive. I hope we adopt that kind of preservation too.

Very nice pictures

Thank you so much

Thank you so much

I want you a peaceful and enjoyable life in this beautiful nature...

It looks like it's a historical monument, or indeed a new build in the wake up to the tourist attractions

It was excavated not for long ago

Meaning it could be a tourist spot, from the pictures I see, the location is strategic as well, while the hole that I see from the photos is similar to the drainage hole.

Hopefully not a drainage hole

Beautiful! This looks like a great place to go!:) Please check my little journey that I made soon. I hope you enjoy my photos. @nakedchef89

i agree with you. it is the ordinary that makes our lives extraordinary because our 'ordinary daily life' has the tendency to impact meaningfully even in others. thanks for sharing @slowwalker

Thanks for more good content my friend @slowwalker!!
