Strolling Around the Neighborhood With Fujifilm X-M5
Ghost

My condition isn't very good.
I have a meeting with the business side tomorrow where I'll have to talk for about 5-6 hours straight, but my physical condition isn't great, so I need to do something about it.
If I walk for about 20 minutes towards Hongje Station, there's a local bathhouse that even appeared on TV for its incredibly clean facilities. I should go there to warm up and get a healthy scrub.
I'm taking out my small Fujifilm X-M5 with the Fujinon 27mm F2.8 prime lens.
It's about one subway stop or two bus stops away, but the weather is nice, so I'll just walk.
Eunpyeong-gu has become a neighborhood with many cherry blossoms at some point.
Abundant cherry blossoms are visible everywhere.
The forsythias have also bloomed quite a lot.
Although the X-T50 clearly has a better sensor and almost double the megapixels, the color rendition on the X-M5 seems richer and better.
Once I take pictures, it's hard to tell that these two models are from the same company.
Before, only mountains were visible around this street, but now apartments have been built so beautifully, matching the height.
The sky is clear and the temperature is cool.
I wish the weather was like this all year round.
These were cherry blossoms seen from a new apartment building along the way. If they were going to plant them, they should have planted 2-3 trees, but with only one, it looks a bit plain.
I have to pass through the market towards Hongje-dong.
There are fruit and vegetable markets lined up, but I'm not sure if they are particularly cheap.
I don't know who their main customers are, but I rarely see individuals buying from them.
Perhaps because it's a holiday, many restaurants seem to be closed.
Before COVID, many used to open on holidays, but these days, most seem to operate only until Saturday and close on Sundays.
Inwang Market is also quiet.
It seems they are going on a spring picnic; I thought, 'Are there still picnics like that these days?'
When I was young, I didn't particularly like going on trips in groups like that, but after living a repetitive life of work-home-work-home every day, I sometimes feel a bit envious now.
