Viking Longship Parade in Jeju Square

Wooden planks of a Viking longship stretch across a public square in Jeju, carried by figures holding burning torches that flare against the clear mountain light. The dry season air hangs heavy with a light drizzle that beads on the dark hull. Above the procession, the sky transforms into a dense canopy of suspended giant fruits and lanterns, hanging motionless like static satellites. These massive spheres cast shifting shadows on the wet cobblestones below. The crowd moves with wild, untamed energy, their silhouettes sharp against the bright, unnatural canopy. Raindrops rest on the carved dragon head at the prow, glistening under the glow of the torches.
