(1) In the distance is Cheomseongdae, a 7th century astronomical observatory whose construction was ordered by queen Seondeok. It features 365 stone blocks representing each day in the year. It is the oldest remaining astronomical observatory of East Asia. (4) An old (Silla period?) stele encapsulated in a traditional sacred kiosk or shrine, inside the Gyerim forest in the middle of the historical sites of Gyeongju. Both shrine and forest have a very mystical atmosphere. (5) (6) Wolji Pond. Remains of a 7th century palace dating to the Silla dynasty.     

(2) The horse had to serve as a portrait model again. There were a lot of flies around, and every time it chased the flies away I took the picture. This resulted in some funny creations. Here it was more elegant.
