Vertical City

This is the very first view I had when I walked into the hotel in Seoul, Korea: view from the 39^th floor overlooking the entire city!  Although, I was too tired from the 13-hour  flight / one hour on the taxi from the airport to the hotel, I had to take these pictures. It was important to capture that particular moment for me to remember for years to come: my tiredness from the trip, and how that feeling matched the gloominess of the city at the moment.

Seoul is known to be a dense and populous city, however, seeing the density from the 39^th floor  gave me a whole different perspective: people working out and  hanging out on green roofed buildings reminded me of the word, “vertical city” I had learned years ago.
