we are taking a walk today along the wall of what appears to be an ancient mountain fortress.

You are our guide, @slowwalker, and as we continue our trek we catch glimpses of vistas from the hillside houses.

Many of these houses are colourfully painted and murals adorn the steps. The prominence of the church tower reminds us of the ever-present reality of religion and spirituality in the past and present life of Seoul.

A walled city is a safe enclosure and a symbol of our need to preserve the treasures that lie within. I am reminded of the Bible verse in Isaiah 61:4 - They shall build up the ancient ruins; they shall raise up the formerly ruined cities, they will build again the places devastated for many generations.

The photos that guide us on our journey are truly lovely, @slowwalker, and capture the soul of the city itself.
