[Journey to Korea] 양주 천일홍 축제

지난 추석에 어머니댁에서 차례를 지내고 집에 돌아오는 길에 양주 천일홍 축제에 들렀습니다.
추석이어서 그런지 가족단위의 관광객이 엄청 많더라고요. 예상보다 많은 인파에 놀랐습니다. ㅎㅎㅎ

작은 지역 축제임에도 불구하고 외국인들도 많이 보이더라고요.
유명한 축제도 아닌데 외국인들이 어떻게 알고 찾아왔는지 신기하더군요.
사진으로 남기고 싶었지만 초상권 침해는 피하고 싶어서 사진을 찍지는 않았어요 :)

사실 축제기간은 9월 24일까지여서 행사는 끝났지만 여전히 꽃은 만개해 있었습니다.
천일홍 축제의 메인은 천일홍이지만 다른 예쁜 꽃들도 많더라고요.

그중 제 눈을 사로잡은 것은 위 사진에 있는 댑싸리와 사진에 담지는 못한 핑크뮬리였습니다.
핑크뮬리는 멀리서보면 분홍빛 안개 같아서 묘한 매력이 있더라고요 ^^

다음에는 핑크뮬리만 찍어서 올려보도록 할게요.

[Below is a translation for introducing Korea to foreigners. Please understand that I'm not good at English and I have a lot of mistranslation by using a translator. If anyone can help to correct mistranslations, welcome.]

I visited my mother's house in last Chuseok and stop by the Yangju globe amaranth Festival on my way home.
There were so many family-oriented tourists that it was because it was Chuseok. I was surprised at the crowds more than I expected.

Even though it was a small local festival, there were many foreigners.
It was not a famous festival, but it was amazing how foreigners came to know.
I wanted to take them pictures, but I did not take them because I wanted to avoid infringing on portrait rights

In fact, the festival was until September 24th, so the event was over, but the flowers were still in full bloom.
The main flower of the globe amaranth festival was globe amaranth, but there were many other beautiful flowers.

Among them, the flowers that caught my eye were the Kochia scoparia(above picture) and the pink mulleis that I didn't take pictures.

The Pink mullies looks like a pink mist from afar and has a strange charm.

Next time, I'll take a pink mule and make it public.
