Video: do you know South Korea?
Do You Know South Korea? from David Dutton on Vimeo.
Guilty as self-charged: I did not realize how utterly gorgeous South Korea is until watching this video. And since the creator's intent was to share the essence and beauty of South Korea with viewers, I have to say: job well done. I have friends who are from South Korea, friends who have lived there, worked there, and played there, but I haven't yet been there. I love the juxtaposition in this video of the bright city lights and jagged, breath-taking countryside. The colored leaves are gorgeous, but they're only a fraction of the video footage. The music is excellent, the shots are incredible.
Have you been to South Korea? Do you feel as though this video captures the country? If you haven't been to South Korea, does this video make you want to visit as soon as possible (because it makes me want to visit as soon as possible).

This is a very beautiful video...and it it does capture...what ...a lot of Seoul?...or downtown area of the largest city? This did not capture the beauty AND poverty of the "regular" folks of Korea OR the area's they live in. Try visiting the farmers and see their modest homes and businesses and schools, that is very different than your video.

I cannot wait to visit Seoul! I'll be flying out Sept 10 and staying at Camp Stanley for a bit before I go up to Casey for a year closer to the DMZ with the Army. Bringing along my D7000 and glass/accessories to photograph the year. Really excited to visit some new amusement parks too, and especially excited to be close to Tokyo and Hong Kong for some new Disney park experiences on extended weekends.
