Namdaemun Gone

by Kim Hogg on February 11, 2008

Update:

If you don’t read the Marmot’s Hole (which you should, really), here is page he found over on Naver of quite beautiful pictures of the gate in all its former glory. I have some personal favourites (thumbs below link to larger photos) but would love to know which ones you liked. Please leave links in the comments (more than 2 links may cause your comments to go into the moderation cue if you’re not logged in, so give me a few hours to check on them, okay?).

Kim’s picks:

This is so very sad. What a tragic loss.

Hey Michael-

It’s been a while! Hope all is well. It truly is sad. I think I’m going to stop by when I head to Seoul this weekend.

Hey Kim-
How’s Daejeon treating you?

Take some pictures of Namdaemun when you’re there.
