This Jeongja is a Korean Pavilion located on the grounds of Government House in Edmonton. tradtionally a Jeongja is built where humans and nature come together.It is built of wood and stone and uses traditional joinery methods to build it.They are usually situated in such a way as to take in the surrounding landscape.
That's an interesting structure to find in the middle of Edmonton. Was it a gift from Korea? It's very pretty and I'm sure the view of the grounds from it must be very nice.
and no visible trash cans and those pesky blue recycling bins. not that i don't like them, only when they spoil your photograph. well, your people must be so disciplined. in here there's a waste can every ten feet or so.
i love the contrast of the pavillion's colour and texture against the very lush greenery; looks so peaceful in there. these are the types of photos that i mark 'fav'. very nice!
@summerfield Well all of our city is not that clean but they do a wonderful job of keeping these grounds very clean. My wife and I go down there quite often. On the weekends it is used as a spot for wedding partys getting their pictures taken
This is very beautiful! The lawn in front of it is so green, too. It looks very serene! Can you step inside it, or is it meant to be viewed from the lawn (or, maybe the point from which I'm looking at it via the picture, a little further away).
