A Korean Icon by Nathaniel Merz

If you follow any of the popular Korean photographers on 500px or have seen their work on the front page, you have likely seen this location before. It is a reservoir in South Korea and is a very(!) popular spot for photography here especially in the Spring. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quite lucky enough to catch a beautiful sunrise when I visited this spot in 2015 as the sun never broke through the thick clouds and haze on this particular morning so I had to make due with the calm and cool pre-dawn light seen here. If you haven’t seen shots from this location before you will likely find a few if you search here for Korea and look at the photos with the highest pulse.
