The Appearance of Things Look Different by its Viewing Angle.

in #culture7 years ago (edited)

I went up to the highest place in Bukchon village to look down the roof of Bukchon village.
Suddenly I wondered how the roofs would be seen when I look at them from higher place.
History was laid down on the roofs of the traditional house.

The shape of things changes depending on the viewing angle. The roofs of Bukchon village viewed from above was different from the one seen from below. When I look up from below, especially the Cheoma(eaves) made me think the traditional house as authoritative.

But as soon as the viewing angle changed from higher to lower, the roofs came to me with much more friendly.

Overlapping view of the traditional houses was much more impressive. It has the beauty made by the duplication of the pattern

When I lift up my eyes, the latest buildings of Seoul came to my eyes from far away. It told me the importance of harmony by old and new.
The beauty comes from the combination.

It was much better than just having a new building.
Everything should be harmonized. There is no exception.

Everything looks same in the world. The shape of things changes depending on the viewing angle.

To be precise, the appearance of things does not change. Only the angle of the eyes is changing.
The mind changes everything.

Did you enjoy the roofs ?

I have experienced this fact myself. At the Palace of Nations in Geneva Switzerland a conference room is having the ceiling painted in different colors and depending of the angle from which you look at it, you see mainly one color. The purpose of this is to demonstrate that different people from different regions of the planet can see the same thing in different ways and we should not judge the way people perceive it. Anyway, great article !!

Nice post
Thank you

May the sky be clear above you,
Let life be kind in light,
Live, surrounded by friends,
And all of you good health and warmth!

Great shots!
I love Korean architecture, your traditional buildings looks so different than our traditional buildings in Denmark :)

Thanks for sharing :)

I love those roof architectures. They remind me of Kung Fu movies where the actors chase each others right on top of them :-)

Wuuhaaa! And then it´s just a Snickers-hungry Mr Bean. "You are not you when you are hungry!"

Thank you again @slowwalker!!
Your posts are always thought provoking.
I like the way you see things, always with introspection.
Then you want to view another angle, always thinking and imagining.
You create value here on this platform with every post.
Yes, indeed I did enjoy the roofs, and your process of thinking and viewing them!!

I like the photos. On some of them I could feel that I am sitting on the top ;) I like your post. Up & Resteem ;)

Thank you

You welcome ;)

I wonder how long did you ascend there. When you look at roofs closer it really looks peculiar and eye catching. Their style attracts and makes me want to travel to Korea and dive into their culture.

You are right.
You can enjoy the culture in korea
