Damyang Photos

Chris, my colleague asked me to join him with our visitors from Taiwan for a trip to Damyang. Below are photos I took from the place. Damyang is famous for its Bamboo Park and see the products and other collaterals made from bamboo.

I think the Bamboo Festival will be in May, next month. If you can understand Korean - check out their website at - www.damyang.go.kr

There is English section but as usual it is not interactive and just info about the place.

Go and visit the place it is a beautiful nature park. On weekends I learned that performances are held for the public.

Happy Birthday Buddha!

Well my blog is becoming a foto blog. I can't resist but capture the colors and scenes around after the dreary, snowless, and cold winter is a profusion of colors and the freshness of greens.

But, they are here to stay a bit to be offered as bouquet or tree of flowers for Buddha on his birthday. Flowers and Lanterns at the 518 Park

Bagamat hindi sila nakakakita matalas naman ang kanilang kakayahan tumugtog ng drums. Subalit gawa ng kanilang kapansanan hindi nila nararanasan na tumangkilik ng ibang bagay tulad ng ganda ng isang larawan o kaya malasin at danasin ang kapayapaan dulot ng magandang tanawin. Kung kaya't malaking pasalamat nating mga litratista na kaya nating tangkilikin ang magagandang bagay o kaya i-capture ang mga larawan na nagdudulot sa atin ng kasiyahan.
