Cherry Blossom Picnic

Seoul has exploded into cherry blossoms and it's beautiful. Hundreds of families were out today to stroll through the tree lined streets to admire them and to take part in the festival. It was mayhem - no chance of a quiet picture whilst kids were scrambling into the trees and Dads were bringing out the telephoto lenses. Some pretty extraordinary poses were struck and some interesting angles achieved with photographers all elbowing for space. This picnic by the River Han looked far more peaceful to me.
