Leaving the Palace Gates

Matt says that once you've seen one palace, you've seen them all, but I adamantly disagree. I think this country has a subtle, hidden beauty that is not only hard to find most of the time, but is revered by the very people who, for the most part, are not so reverent. It was a joyful day on Sunday, punctuated by the fact that the sky was clear, the wind was warm, and I got to see all of this before it was too late. Gorge, as I like to say :)







A river runs through it (the moat, of sorts, that runs the outside of the palace)



Look at those colours! So beautiful!


Yours truly, loving the day.



And this caught my eye on my way out to catch the subway. These are the palace walls, visible from the street outside. The newness of the colour green is magnificent and the juxtaposition of the rough wall and the gentle plants with the sun hitting my face...outstanding.
