Seoul Riverside & Bridges

A sweeping panorama over the western Han River, where the World Cup Bridge's single white pylon anchors the frame and the traffic on the riverside expressway never stops. This is Seoul as a working city: commuters, cargo, and the endless choreography of a metropolis of 26 million.

The live webcam's height gives it drama in all weather: monsoon clouds stacking up in July, hard winter light on the water in January, and on the clearest days the mountains that ring Seoul standing sharp on the horizon.

Sunset is the money hour: the expressway turns into twin streams of white and red light, and the bridges switch on one by one.
