Old pictures of Suncheon.

My coworkers discovered my blog earlier this week, and I have a feeling they'd be disappointed if I left you with unpleasant Liancourt Rocks news atop it this weekend, so for the second time today I'm going to try to stick something positive above the fold.






The pictures come from this blog, which also has images of Mokpo, Gwangju, and a bunch of other cities throughout the country. My favorite is the one of Suncheon Station, which presents a pretty different image from how it looks today, seeing how the station was rebuilt in 1960.


I took this in April, 2007.

I couldn't find a good shot of both the station and the large rotary in front of it, for comparison's purposes, but I did find a picture of a guy standing in front of it in 1991, as part of an interesting photo essay of his bike trip around the country. There are a few more old pictures of Suncheon, and links to old pictures of other Jeollanam-do cities, in a previous entry about the area's missionaries.
