The Han River stretches wide and gray-green under an overcast April sky, with Banpo Bridge extending across the water toward Seoul's southern districts. Namsan Tower is visible in the center distance, perched on its hilltop above the apartment skyline, providing the familiar anchor point for Seoul's geography. The bridge's concrete pillars march in steady rhythm across the frame, their repetitive geometry creating visual order across the river's expanse. A red CGV cinema sign on a building near the north bank adds the only bright color accent to the otherwise muted palette of grays, blues, and greens. The water surface is choppy with wind-driven ripples, carrying none of the mirror-calm reflections that the Han shows on still days. Viewed from Banpodaero on the southern bank, this perspective captures the river in its most characteristic mood: a broad, working waterway dividing the city into its historic northern and developed southern halves, more infrastructure than scenery, yet undeniably the geographic heart of Seoul.
