Daehanminguk digicam:The lost photographs

I've been occupied with so many things Above (and so Below... and before that, on Jeju-do) that these photos from October had gone unposted.

Earlier "daehan-digi" posts were uploaded on: June 10, a little later on June 10, June 26, July 4 and July 17.

Our neighbors' garden, which we've peered at through the window since the spring. The very next day, a cold snap withered the remaining stalks and vines.


This last shot was taken yesterday. The wife of the man above, along with her daughters and friends, prepared enormous amounts of winter kimchi. Many if not most families are engaged in kimjang these days.

When my Lady Friend and I went for a walk soon afterward, the women offered us some of the uncut product: garlic and pepper paste in full effect!
