A Korean friend gave us a book of photographs by Bae Bien-U, called The Beauty of Korea – it was made for a Korean ‘beauty and health care provider.’ It is full of pictures of breathtakingly beautiful nature scenes.
Back home Bae Bien-U is famous for his pictures of pine trees. I looked them up on his website and I totally see why. These pine forests are Lord of the Rings stuff, half-friendly, half-frightening.
Especially today, a day after the big earthquake in Japan, my thoughts about the Power of Nature seem to fit the mood they evoke.
If you click on the images they will be enlarged. Or go visit Bae Bien-U’s website, ‘a point of contact between the heavens and the earth’.








Prachtig!
