Photo of the Month – October 2026

Echoes of Ancient Korea

A Korean Buddhist temple chime hangs beneath the ornate eaves, carrying centuries of tradition beneath the endless sky. Its graceful form reflects a quiet harmony between faith, artistry, and the timeless beauty of Korea.

This photograph was taken at Yeosu’s Hyangil Hermitage, near Impo in late autumn.
