Pond and Small Channel in the Villa of the Baek Wun Dong GardensteemCreated with Sketch.

in travel •  6 years ago 

There was a water way from out side through the wall.
The pond was not a large one, but it seemed to have important meaning in composition for the garden and the villa.

In Korean traditional thoughts, the combination and the harmony was one of the most important element.

So to complete this villa, the mountains and the waters must be balanced.

The pond was made in the quadrilateral shape with stone frames.
Water was so clean.

Looking the pond, I sat near the house.
It was so peaceful.
I’d like to stay, if I could.

This villa must be a imitated paradise of Taoism, in my guess.

@slowwalker,
Wow it's a beautiful place and yeah a natural feel so great! You made a nice photography of it and I think they let customers to bath in it!

Cheers~

@slowwalker, You take a captures from different angles. Pond made architecture way awesome. Water supply from outside to the pond. Both ways I looked since where water comes. Garden area impressive and another villa seemed very close to the pond.

Harmony and unity are indeed one of the cultural backbones (or value) of Korea.

The lines of rock, framing the pond and the terracing, the gentle slope of the land and the clear water add to the tranquility of the gardens.

A wonderful day to you.

That is indeed a beautiful garden. Glad that I waited for your post before I leave for my todays walking round. Like always hand voted and resteemed :-)

Wow amazing description of the pond from you, I could almost picture the pond from your description, it's seems like a very old form of pool for royalty, the Baek Wun Dong Garden is simply amazing, thanks for the amazing shots really.

I believe that balancing between nature elements will make us wisely. At least we know if around you there is water it make cooler. It can absorbed hot and become habitat for some plants and animals.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful post and your explanation is very good

This looks very great

Gorgeous and peaceful place, for me water is associated with life, no matter pond, sea or ocean. I love all water arts. The place is build in harmony everything fit together well, little pond the thatched roofed houses and those trees waiting for spring. I am very curious how that place is looking when it is full in spring blossom. I am waiting for a photograph with cherry blossom in your future posts, I always wanted to paint that moment of spring, hope you will have a nice shot for my collection :)
