Second Part of Looking around the tombs of early BaekJae Dynasty
Seokchondong BaekJae dynasty tomb area seemed to be something special in its location. I had posted about the location of graveyard in Korea some days ago. In that posting I wrote most of tombs were located in the mountain.

But Seokchondong BaekJae dynasty tombs were located on the flat area. I don’t know the reason why. It is little bit different to compare between early and late BaekJae dynasty tomb location. In GongJoo kings’s tomb was located in the mountain area as below and it was believed late BaekJae dynasty.

The flat area where the tombs were located in was a nice park to many people. The tomb area was widely open, so everyone could enjoy walking and taking a rest.
I saw many people rest in the tomb area. The tomb area was all but park.
Grandmas get together under the trees.
someone prepared for lunch and took a lunch together.
Strange thing is that male is alway alone anywhere.
But look ! grandmas, they are not alone anywhere.
Solitude and loneliness seems to be the destiny of male.
But daddy and son were always friendly and happy anywhere in earth. They were busy to take dragonflies
.
Pigeons were gathered around me. Maybe they want something to eat from me.
In one corner, I could see old clay pieces in excavation site.
The pattern of the pottery seemed to be so old
It was too much hot, so I ran into the Cafe and ordered ice coffee.
I ‘d like to visit another BaekJae dynasty tombs far from here. I gave up and took a rest for a while.
I went last summer - amazing holiday. Do go everyone !
Nice pictures, but maybe you need to play with the in camera white balance a bit, and I say that because of the yellow tint. I like nature and historic sites a lot, so when you combine them is perfect.
Thank you so much
Nice captures.

Usual this places look a bit depresing but this one not :)
Thank you
so much history surrounds you, @slowwalker, that pieces of ancient pottery that would be treasured in North America are discarded on an excavation site and people turn the tombs of early BaekJae Dynasty into a park site. Such irony here.
I've noticed before in your photos that there is a traditional separation of the sexes in Korea. I'm thinking back to your post on a traditional house with a shrine and the ‘Ahn Chae’ where the lady of the house lived. Perhaps this could account in part for what you observe regarding the solitary men, although I suspect by nature women tend to be more social.
Your photos were tiny pictures, glimpses into day to day life around Seoul and they highlight how people enjoy the outdoors and relaxing.
Without family life, solitude and loneliness would seem to be the destiny of the male, @slowwalker :)
Hahaha
Thank you @johnjgeddes

People look so happy and relaxed. Beautiful place. I would love to visit there once.

A wonderful post about the past and the modern and their combination. I like your posts, life in Korea is so different from life and Ukraine, although there are also many common things!
Ukraine is my bucket list
Its nice to see old women cheering. All the pictures are just great as always :)
