Winter runs through the stones at Taejongdae,
Chilling the strata, turning them blue.

A rugged, towering rock formation standing along the coastline, with dramatic layered cliffs stretching toward the sea. The sky is overcast, and the rough textures of the rocks contrast with the smooth water below.
Close-up view of stratified rock layers in varying shades of green, brown, and white, showing the geological complexity of the cliffside. The layers appear weathered and cracked in places.
A balanced stack of smooth, rounded stones placed on a bed of gray pebbles. The central stone has concentric patterns, while smaller stones rest atop it, creating a simple yet natural sculpture.
A lone sailboat navigating across a calm, expansive ocean, with a small rocky island featuring a prominent beacon in the distance. The sky appears overcast, casting a muted tone over the scene.

Sunfire on the heights of Mount Geumjeong.
The last of the year, before the chill comes,
And the world goes dark.

A sunlit hiking path winding along a hill, with the golden grasses and trees illuminated by the soft evening light.
Sunlight filtering through the mountains, casting a warm glow on rocks and trees, creating a serene landscape at sunset.
Golden sunlight shining over a grassy hilltop, with a bridge and cityscape visible in the distance, evoking a peaceful evening scene.
A stunning view of the sun setting behind mountains and a river winding through the valley, casting warm colors over the landscape.
Waves crashing against rocks in a turbulent sea, with white foam contrasting against the dark stones.
A group of candles lit in prayer, their flames reflected on a glossy surface, casting a warm and serene glow in the dark surroundings.
