Autumn over the Ruins of the Millennium Kingdom

There was a Buddhist temple called Mangdeoka 망덕사 望德寺 in present-day Gyeongju. It prospered during the era of the Silla Dynasty who enjoyed the millennium. 

Since then, the temple have turned into ruins. The magnificent buildings have disappeared, and now only the remains are a faint testimony to ist history. 

The silver grass begins to bow, boasting a yellow color in the thickening autumn.
