Enchanting Seoul: A Snowy Night in Myeongdong

The moment we stepped off the plane at Incheon Airport, a sense of enchantment washed over me. The sight of Seoul blanketed in a pristine layer of snow felt like a personalized welcome, especially since it was my first time in South Korea. The city seemed to radiate a warmth that transcended the chilly air.

Later, as we ventured into the heart of Myeongdong, the bustling night market pulsed with energy. The snow continued to fall, casting a magical glow on the crowd. Laughter and lively chatter filled the air, creating an atmosphere of shared joy and wonder. I felt a sense of camaraderie with the people around me, as if the city itself had embraced us as part of its vibrant tapestry.

Driven by an urge to preserve these fleeting moments, I constantly raised my Sony A6700, its Sigma lens capturing the essence of the scene. Every click of the shutter immortalized the delicate snowflakes, the joyful expressions, and the enchanting ambiance of the snow-kissed city. Through my lens, I sought to convey the magic of Seoul, a city that had welcomed me with open arms and painted my first visit with unforgettable memories.
