Hermit Hideaways

The eerie late-night winter scenes of Namdaemun Market. It was so cold that evening I’m surprised the camera didn’t jam up on me.

I love markets. So much so that I’ll be throwing up a series of photo sets from some great markets I’ve been able to visit in Seoul. One favorite is Noryangjin Fish Market. For these below I wanted to arrive early and snap some of the early risers loading their shelves teeming with bulging ice and steaming fish. Well, sadly I didn’t get quite the angle I was looking for and realized that the place is a muscle of activity at ALL hours of the day. Roping in distributors and wholesalers alike, Noryangjin is the one-stop source for all things fishy in not only Seoul and its outlining areas, but for Korea as a whole. It is definitely a place to visit for those that want to get a little closer to the traditions of Korean culture.
