Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. Rain is falling here in Daejeon at the moment, and I hope it clears before tomorrow. We have a long weekend, and there is a world dance festival happening in Choenan, the city next to Daejeon. I should be there on Sunday with my camera ready to capture the costumes and performances.
To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.
Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.
If you do tweet a shot, please use the hashtag #TPThursday.
Here are some of my favorite Korean dance shots…

I hope the rain let’s up.
My knees have sympathy aches just looking at the fellow in the second photo. You’ve got a nice selection of dance shots and I’m loving the colourful costumes.
Leigh recently posted…Travel Photo Thursday: Crowfoot Glacier, Banff National Park
Thanks Leigh! Yes, I am with you on the knees aching.
Love how you captured the movement in these photos. So colorful, too.

Thanks Cathy. You know it’s interesting, for a society that wears a lot of black in everyday life they really make up for it color wise in their traditional costumes.
When I was in Seoul, there was always a samulnori performance on sundays in Insadong. Beautiful stuff.
Denise recently posted…Winter in Switzerland: Pictures take you places
Yes, almost guaranteed in Insadong.
So incredibly colorful. And I love the one with masks.

Love those Korean gal’s costumes even when they’re not dancing. I like beer, too !
haha Mike…beer is always good on a hot summer day!
Lovely, bright costumes you’ve captured nicely. Looks like fun, both observing and dancing. Yet another reason to put Korea on the list of places to visit soon

#4 is my favorite.
Those costumes are beautiful. I’d do anything to watch once of these dance festivals … can’t wait to make my way into Asia someday!

Those masks are actually kinda scary.

These are lovely photographs. The first one almost looks 3D! The color and spirit of the dance and costumes are evident in these photos.
Beautiful photos! I especially like the one with all of the fans.
