Anarchaeology

Here is Namdaemun all closed on a Sunday morning.

And here's the Golden Plot. You can see some drainage.

And some old bricks.

The one part that was preserved was this old basement they found.

And this port-a-potty.

Lots of cameras everywhere.

Closer look at the basement.

Nice big tree.

Another even closer look, now within view of the CCTV.

And here you can see the stairs down.

The backside of the buildings that have prevented development of the Golden Plot.

Not far away, the Pai Chai Institute.

And some civil unrest at the edge of a large urban renewal project, dwarfed by a titanic cop.

Closer look at the evictee building.

This area is a major historic site with a significant tree in the middle, but it's been sitting for years like this.
