The Roofs and the Surroundings of the Temple Cheongryongsa in Seoul

My favorite thing in the Korean traditional architecture is the roof.
The line of the roof seemed to reflect the Korean culture.
The line and the angles are not too sharp like other oriental architectures in China and Japan. It looked humble, but it looked to preserve the warm feelings of Korean folks.

The temple was surrounded by the resident buildings. In my guess, the place where the temple is located was far from the resident area when this temple had been built. But as the city expanded, the temple was surrounded by the resident area.

The pine between the roofs was the traces that this place was far from the village at once.

I photographed the wall of the temple, the roofing tiles and the bricks were piled along the wall.
