44 days and counting.


Cold and dark sunset.


The sunsets in Seoul are breathtaking. When the earth rotates to where the sun's rays are passing horizontally west to east across the city, the particles in the atmosphere glow bright orange. Sometimes the haze is thick enough to hide the sun before it reaches the horizon. When this happens, it quickly dissolves from a sharp orb to a murky light source; within minutes of the transition, the skyline becomes the dark foreground for a vivid introduction to night.
