Do you know this flower means? It is called rose of sharon (Mugunghwa)
It symbolizes Korean. There are many rose of sharons and It is called flower of noble men. Let's know about the flower deeply. The color of this plant is pink and green. In this picture, pink and green are harmonized well, so most of people think, this picture is beautiful. Also You can concentrate on the picture that bees are flying around the flower. It represent the harmonization with animal(bees) and plant(flower). According to the information of flower, the flower is opened during daytime. so We can predict that is a daytime when We look at the picture. Also We can see Korean house with Korean flowers in the photo. The flowers are harmonized with Korean house. because they both symbolize the tradition of Korea. Let's look about the korean house. I am very surprised about theso It improves the identities of Korean traditions. When I took this picture I think that I want to raise this plant around my home.

Caption 3 My idea when I look at the sea
What do you think when you look at the sea. large? magnificent? clear?
I think that sea or ocean hug me soft and comfortable.
When I had difficulties, I asked parents to go to the ocean. I shouted and got rid of
stress. After that the sound that the wave crashed with the rock is very nice.
What color do you like most in ocean colors. I like the light-blue like clear emerald color.
It seems like a melting jewery flowing on the ground.
Also If I see the sea, My greedy, selfish stuff is decreased. Sea is familiar with nature,
not controlled by money, also I think the ocean has the attitude of magnanimity because the ocean look like large tolerate mind. After understand my mind by the ocean, I can also respect other people like the ocean. In conclusion, If You want to relax, or take a rest, Let's go to the sea. What do you think about the sea?
Caption 4 Leadership is different from dictatorship
What do you think about the tiger. I took a picture in the Last paradise in Everland. In that time, the guider explain that they are moving around because they want to save their territory or they want to remain power in their territory. If We compare to a society of some country. Some country which have an autocrat and use the political power. In the world of animals, It can be caused by the law of the jungle. however, If We look at the picture only tiger, It is hard to understand my speaking, however if he consider from many angles, You can understand my speaking.
In my conclusion, In the world of human, the dictatorship will be collapsed someday.
Caption 5 The light and The globe
This picture shows that the "light and globe" but look detaily to the picture. The Korea
in the globe is daytime and the opposite side is night time. however, the Earth always rotate, so the time will be changed. I took picture and touched each place. The place that receive light is hot, and the place that is dark is cold. If the Earth is not revolve, the area that is night time is always hot, and the place that is always dark is cold. However, the Earth is revolving so the temperature is normally controlled and the time is progressed.
Even if strongest elements appears, they can stand out the time because time flew away.
I came to the GLPS and almost after 30 days I will come to my home. However, the time flew away quickly. It means that time effects people a lot. This is a reason why We make plans or schedules. It represents that the time flew away and affect people. In conclusion, this picture represents that We should use times effectively.
Caption 6 the harmonization with trees and flowers
Have you ever gone to the park? If We go to the forest with only trees, I feel boring, or
If We go to the flower garden, I feel not magnicifent.
If the flower and three are getting together, They will complement their disadvantage and getting stronger. This is why I feel great when I saw the garden with trees and flowers together. It is called harmonization. It is similar as chorus. If We harmonize the rythum or melodies well, the sound will be perfect enough, however If We harmonize not very well, the sound will be not good as the sound with good harmonization. It is similar as this picture. The trees and flowers are getting together and harmonize well. so most of people think this picture is beautiful. according to the definition of beautiful is not just the wonderful of trees and flowers, the real definition is that people think it is beatiful because of the well-harmonized.
Caption 7 The Empty stuff on the ground
What do you think about the land that has nothing enough. Lonely or blankful. If I watch
this photo, I can improve my imagination or make a lot of thinkings. If the photo is actually filled with a lot things, We can interrupt the imagination because the filling things restrict the imagination.
Do you know the beauty of blank. First, We can imagine of think a lot. I draw the picture in my brain about the experiences about the field. Also It means the limitless.
Let's concentrate on the empty field. expanding the empty field, there are nothing, I can see that the expand of the field, or I watch the blank A4 paper and I think the space is expanding. In my conclusion, The place which is not filled with anything can be boring however, I can find the advantage of empty picture like this. This picture made me to wonder my experiences with field.


I really liked your photo essay in a sense that you imparted philosophical meanings in each picture. Your photo essay makes readers look back on their lives. :) I especially liked the conclusions on each picture, which grasps the essence of what you want to say. However, your essay could have been shorter. There are some sentences which are unnecessary, and as you have mentioned, "a picture is worth a 1000 words", your essay would have been better if you had cut down your essay to 1/3 of what you have originally written down. Still, you did a great job :)
