Note that who ever totals the most points at the end of the year, I will purchase for them a Korea related book or DVD of their choice using the proceeds I have accumulated by people purchasing books from Amazon.com on my website.
Sonamu?
No. Jeongipum Pine Tree.
I should say no double dipping, but I'll give it to you. 🙂
Yes this is the Jeongipum Pine Tree at Songnisan Mountain one of my favorite areas in Korea. This tree is hundreds of years old and is famous in Korea as being a royal tree because King Sejo considered the tree royalty because according to legend the tree obeyed a command by King Sejo to move a limb that was blocking the road on his way to Songnisan Mountain.
The poles you see holding the tree up is because of a massive snow storm that had damaged the tree.
