This tree is a guest tree from my past. I took this picture in February, 2010, at the Geumsan Temple in South Korea (금산사), where I was staying for a 5-day “templestay” – a kind of intensive lay Buddhist monk experience. It’s the entrance area. The temple is one of the more famous ones in the peninsula.

Caveat: Poem #2500 “Keeping count”
ㅁ Twenty-five hundred random poetic objects: some are good; some aren't.
– a pseudo-haiku. This numerological poem is actually not accurate – I know this for a fact. There have been several instances of “hiccups” in my numbering system, such that actually this poem is probably 2502 or 2503…. But it’s too difficult to go back and re-number everything.
