Beautiful photos today and yesterday, @slowwalker.

This temple seems imbued with the spirit of Korean folk culture as I understand it.

The openness of the architecture is welcoming and seems to say YES in a distinct and unmistakeable way.

I agree with you that the patterns are subtle and unassuming and seem to convey an air of freedom, almost of whimsy.

This is a temple that is peaceful and comfortable - a temple for the people, it seems to me.
