Small building under construction in temple

[By Byung Hwa Yoo, Geumsunsa, Seoul]

Two days ago I climbed up mountain Bughansan where the Geumsunsa(temple) locate at Jongno to visit my father at the charnel house in the temple. I brought a small wine bottle and grape and ripe persimmon which were his favorites. After bowing and having time thinking of the past I looked around the temple.  The temple was not quiet as before. A small building(Ansimdang) was under construction. I heard that the building would be used for monks and believers. Because I like to draw construction fields I decided to sketch it. It took two and a half hours to finish. While sketching this I breathed fresh air and enjoyed beautiful scenery too.
