It is hard to find places in Korea that are quiet and still. Because we live in a very busy, urban neighbourhood, there is always noise and activity and lots of people around. So sometimes we crave our canoe and a quiet Ontario lake, just to find some quiet space where we can think and reflect. Today we were blessed to spend a few hours at a lake east of Daejeon that offered some precious stillness. The sun was shining and it was so warm we only needed sweatshirts or light jackets; we drove up to the lake and walked amongst the pines and dunes until we couldn't even hear the odd car driving on the lake road. It was divine and perfect, and a reminder that we need to find green space on a more regular basis. What a beautiful way to wind down and relax. (In the last photo you can see some "humps" on the hillside, as well as some markers; these are traditional graves and they are common on mountainsides and hillsides throughout Korea.)
