The trail up the small hill at Waujeongsa is lined with some very interestingly designed pagodas.
In April, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, they become magical!

My name is Joseph Bengivenni but I usually go by the moniker Ox Herder online. I’m a Canadian artist, photographer, and writer who has been living in Korea since 2005. During that time, I developed a deep appreciation for Korea’s mountains and the ‘Sansa’, Mountain Temples, found within them. In recent years, I’ve focused my efforts on documenting Korea’s official list of traditional temples and hermitages. Of the 991 on the list, I’ve currently visited 560 of them. I consider it my life-long pilgrimage. Follow me here or @oxherder.photography on Instagram as I continue this ongoing journey. View all posts by Ox Herder
This is stunning! We have cherry blossoms here, but alas, no pagodas to complement them so deliciously.
We even had a cherry blossom festival here last week on Salt Spring. It was great fun, with a shakuhachi flute player and ikebana demo, a talk by a Japanese landscape architect.
what a scene! i’m sure Caspar David Friedrich would have unpacked his paint-brushes here.
Beautiful! No Cherry Blossoms here… It snowed yesterday! 😦
so beautiful…! Thank you, Joseph!

What a magical shot – thanks

Sorry, I just realized a whole week went by, and I didn’t respond to any of you…
ZDS – Any chance the Japanese landscape architect could design a pagoda? ^_^
Evelyn – I had to look up Caspar David Friedrich *^^* Thank you for sharing his name, aren’t his images amazing?!
Genju – being from Nova Scotia, I can empathize! There’s a reason besides the cherry blossoms that I love the spring here so much, it doesn’t let the winter linger!
Renée & Micheal – thank you, too! ^_^
