멀리 효사정이 보입니다. 옛 효사정(孝思亭)은 조선 세종 때 한성부윤과 영의정을 지낸 공숙공 노한(盧閈 1376~1443)이 노량진 한강변에 정자를 짓고 3년간 시묘를 했으며 모친을 그리워했던 곳입니다. 현재의 효사정은 일제 강점기때 일본신사가 있었 곳에 신축된 정자로 서울시의 우수 경관 조망명소로 선정된 곳입니다.

Yesterday I went to Seoul Grand Park for sketching. I just enjoyed the scenery and doodling the animal. On the way coming home I saw the three persons on wheel chairs. I sketched them. The third person was reading book drawn in the right bottom of the paper. They seemed to move to some place together.

A few days ago, I took a trip to Turkey with BH Yoo and several Korean tourists. A number of cultural heritage and architecture are dreamy and mysterious. I was deeply impressed by Byzantine style and natural resources. It was a meaningful tour for me to get an opportunity to sketch well-known sceneries.

It was rainy and windy day when we visited the St. Sophia Cathedral, Istanbul, Turkey. As we see in the photos of the cathedral the inside was great and beautiful. How majestic it was! The red flag is of Turkey. Oct. 29 was memorial day of Turkey.
