Lanterns in Korea

My family is currently vacationing in Korea and greatly enjoying it.  On our first morning we explored our block and found everything from a Buddhist temple to a Dunkin Donuts.

The Festival of Lanterns runs throughout May and many shops have paper lanterns hanging from their awnings.  But look what the temple did!  This large tree is in the temple courtyard area.

As you can see, the display of colorful lanterns completely obscures the branches and leaves above.

There’s also an area of just white lanterns.  Very lovely!

I hope to go back to tour the temple later today.
