The Serenity of Kaeamsa Temple 개암사

Somewhere just out of JeonJu, South Korea
One of life's treats is when places of delight are shared amongst friends.
I had such an experience not long ago when a native JeonJuen took me to her favourite temple just near her hometown in the countryside outside of JeonJu.
This temple has been in existence for over 1000yrs, it is small but indeed very special.
The setting is serene, tucked under the twin peaks of a mountain surrounded by the forest.
