Steps in the secret garden, Changdeokgung palace
Caption / Description:

Steps down through part of the secret garden to the rear of Changdeokgung palace, in Seoul, South Korea. The rear garden of Changdeokgung was created at the same time as the palace, in 1405. Very little landscaping has been done to the garden, and structures in the garden were built to blend in with the natural topography.
