What epic photography through the gardens, details about the buildings, yes keeping with detail even down to the fish in the pond.

Seeped with splendor, detail, balanced life with privacy utilizing nature most definitely a wonderful visit, thanks for taking us along @abitcoinskeptic

@tipu curate

Thanks a lot.🤗

It was a nice tour. I'd like something a little more indepth, but getting invited inside is difficult.

Whenever I see a pond I always have a close look.

Gardens and buildings very unique to the region, seeing balance in design you were lucky to go in many places just don't allow visitors.

The climate is really great here, but then again I'm from Canada, so don't take my word for it.

Even though it's not natural, I think gardens are really important because plants need their places to grow, too. Like a plant zoo.

not a fan of politics but this is one beautiful house 😏

Agreed. And, the tour wasn't very political considering where I was. I'm so used to seeing temples, palaces and fortresses, this was a little different and more relevant.

Wooow, there are so beautiful and vibrant landscapes, you just took them perfectly!

I like to visit nice gardens. Because people cannot picnic or walk onthe grass, it looks fantastic.

In my country should put that rule... everyone walk on the grass, so sad.

Beautiful, neat and tidy as befits a president's domain my friend!
Glad that the weather was your friend on the day and sad that they wouldn't even allow you guys into the the state room.
But security being what it is all over the world, one cannot blame them.
Besides Covid could also present a danger, but be it as it may, at least you guys enjoyed the trip!

I was a little disappointed we couldn't go in, but you are right about security and now disease concerns.
There is a museum down the street with a lot of photos and a replica of his desk area. One time he did one of his speeches from there and no one noticed the difference.

Ah! If only you could have gotten a photo of that desk area lol.
Maybe you can get a special clearance afte4r this Covid thing to go in there, but I don't think that it is likely.
Did you visit that museum for some shots?

Actually there are a few replicas of his desk around various museums. That museum is unique because you can see his house from the roof. I have a picture of myself at one of them but it's located much further from Seoul. I didn't feel like posting it on Hive since I have no desire to become president of Korea. I think I will have to buy a better camera lens if I want to take indoor photos. My phone is better for this.

So? You have no desire to become the president of Korea?
Do you mean that if you post the picture that people might start to think that you are the president?
It could be a good idea to give you some political clout when you go shopping hahaha.

I see lately that phones take great indoor photos and you are right to stick with it. I borrowed a friends phone to take a photo of a beautiful old ox wagon and it turned out that I took a selfie and not the wagon lol.
Too many small buttons and cameras on those phones, as how can one have a camera that is at the front and another one that is at the back? Who takes photos behind their backs?

Now I know why it's called the "Blue" house. I always hear about it in Korean dramas and series. It looks magnificent! I was supposed to visit Korea last July but my trip got cancelled due to the pandemic. I will definitely be adding this to my itinerary.

A lot of the dramas either just refer to it or show the inside. They also call it by the Korean name, Cheongwadae and Blue House is just its English name.

I recommend you visit on the same day you do a Gyeongbokgung Palace tour since the bus leaves from there anyway. Just make sure you reserve in advance. Luckily there are spots available for foreigners which are much easier to get.

I loved every picture in the blog, glad you are back. And that this trip is one i got to go on aswell. The blue house is my favorite but this had also could have been a treetuesday blog. The nature and gardens are well ytaken care off
Have a great weekend

Haha thanks. I'm not really back though. Still only publishing one blog every couple of weeks. I'm just so busy with other things that are more important.

The blue house is surrounded by a nice lawn and gardens. The president deserves the best. There were 3 trees I really liked in the garden.

I hope you have a nice weekend, too!

I hope your own garden is flourishing too and you love only 3 the area of the blue house is massive! And I love that you said it’s great that it’s so quiet and people aren’t allowed on the lawn

Ok take care of real life and stay safe
