Baekje Flags Photo

Photographer’s Note

공주시
Gongju was formerly named Ungjin and was the capital of Baekje from AD 475 to 538. In this period, Baekje was under threat from Goguryeo. Goguryeo had overrun the previous capital of Hanseong (modern-day Seoul), which forced Baekje to find a new center of strength.

In 538, King Seong moved the capital to Sabi (in modern-day Buyeo County). However, Gongju remained an important center until the kingdom's fall in 667.

Here you see the wall of the old forteres of the Baekje ol kingdon

Kalispera Dominic,
Great framing: I really like the way the flags march up the diagonal of the fort as they alternate with the tree. Color, detail and the note are all excellent too.

Une composition orignale avec ces drapeaux ou bannières qui dépassent du mur. Mais ils sont peut être un peu petits dans l'image.

Bien cordialement,
