A Nice Shot,

if I do say so myself.


Yesterday I went to check out a Seoul district known as Noryangjin.  It's famous for its huge seafood market, but I've visited the place before, so this time I wanted to explore the side streets and back lanes of the area.

And just beyond the busy, fancy facades facing the main streets, it was largely a collection of quiet, time-worn neighborhoods filled with a mixture of older and newer buildings, hole-in-the-wall stores and residences, some few of which were actually derelict and cordoned off.
















Going down one quiet little alley I came upon something unexpected:  a number of alley cats over the stretch of a couple of blocks.  And I don't think they were feral either, because they all looked to be reasonably well fed and cared for.  Could be, they belonged to human families that didn't believe in confining them to a few rooms all their lives.





My suspicion got a boost when one of them came meowing over to me and acted all familiar.












I so wanted to stay longer and play with this cutie, but... ah, well.
