The Garden of Morning Calm was named after an old nickname for Korea – The Land of Morning Calm. This is Korea's favorite arboretum. Millennium Juniper tree at the center of the garden is estimated around 1,000 years old. Millenium Juniper chinese tree symbolizes the Garden of Morning Calm. The Garden of Morning Calm is also known as a filming location for the popular korean drama of Park Bogum and Kim Yoojung called “Moonlight Drawn by Clouds“. Located at Gapyeong, this place is especially beautiful during the summer when it is lush and green. It is the oldest private garden in Korea and is composed of around 20 gardens. Held at the Garden of Morning Calm, the Lighting Festival is the biggest festival of lights in Korea. The Garden of Morning Calm was thought of by Professor Han Sang-Kyung, whilst he was serving as an exchange professor in the USA.

Wonder what the little girl behind bars did to get thrown in the klink? Obviously, the pipe-smoking old teacher-sage doesn't take any crap from his young pupils. Photo by Herbert Ponting, 1903.

Back in the good old days, the Koreans were ALMOST as superstitions as the Japanese ! That's alright, just keep praying to your Idols, and don't worry about the Christian Missionaries who hypocritically insist on using a WESTERN CALENDAR whose MONTHS of the Year and DAYS of the Week are all named after PAGAN EUROPEAN GODS !!! These same missionaries also want you to become Christian so they may introduce you to the eternal happiness of Santa Claus, Christmas Trees, and the Easter Bunny. Did I say EASTER, the Pagan Holiday of Sex and Fertility ? I always knew there was something I liked about that Holiday ! I guess Easter Eggs are Christian, too. After all, the New Testament Book of 2nd Hezekiah tells us that the baby chick breaking out of the colored eggs symbolizes Christ coming out of the tomb and conquering death. WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY ? The nation of Korea has NOW become the most "Protestant" Christian Nation in all of Asia ? (The Philippines already has the award for being the most "Catholic" Christian nation in Asia). Wow ! Yes, Virginia...there IS a Santa Clause ! Now, where did I put my lucky American Rabbit's Foot , and my Irish four-leaf clover ? ************************************ Flickr poster WOLFGANGKLANG has commented on the above : "......Regarding your pic: 100 years later. Now KOREAN missionaries are everywhere in the world. Especially in critical countries like Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia and so on. I guess those things are Sowing and harvesting !......."
