Dreary Sunshine

20140531_131011(0)_1

The seasons come and go, dragging the cycles of blooming flowers along with it.

Most flowers in Korea seem to be really short lived. Cherry blossoms for example, start sprouting slowly. Then, as if by some sort of magical agreement, all the trees burst forth together, blooming for all they’re worth. Before a week is out though, they start fading, almost as fast as an Olympic pace setter.

These little rays of sunshine recently bloomed next to the train tracks. In the thickest strip next to Gwanak Station, I captured this patch. I’d planned to take photos from the station platform with my larger camera, but the view was just not what I had hoped for. The phone, however, did a decent job of capturing the bit of beauty on an otherwise dreary commute into Seoul.

Too bad they will have vanished in a week or two.
