Hi David - another fascinating look into a mindset stuck in a time warp, the image of the pistol pointed at the "doves of peace" speaks volumes, wow, what a bizarre place, it's hard to beleive it exists and it's not a Hollywood creation.

It's like something from a Star Wars movie except that it's real.

I'd guess the majority of people there don't realize what a bizzare society they live in (then again, neither do we...) Thanks, David, for making the place more real for all of us!

Regards, Ken.

Hi David,
Another fantastic shot from this huge event. It's very well composed and good quality image.
As for the politics, the globa security also noted on a different page (news section): "The U.S. seeks to solve the nuclear issue by force of arms. This compels the DPRK to do its utmost to legitimately defend itself from the U.S. military threat. It is the best way of averting a war and defending the sovereignty and dignity of the country and the nation to cope with the U.S. military threat on its own initiative and by its own efforts."

Thanks for the post, David! Your DPRK series are one of my favorites on TE.
Best Regards,
Skye

The tiny soldiers in the foreground emphasise the scale of this performance. Good composition

Another really interesting shot... Thanks for sharing all this information and pictures of North Korea with us, it's really rare, to see pictures like that (at least for me *g*)

Hello David,

having read a lot, your description seems to lack a little bit of historic background. At least it should be noted that the Korean militarism isn't acountable on itself only, but up to a big portion dependent on the behaviour of the international community -- namely the United States.

Concerning the photograph: it is well created, as with most of yours! Keep up the good work and thanks for teaching about foreign countries!

Greetings from Germany,
Maik

David,
Good photo, nice colors. North Korea is a very closed country. I am suprised they didn't put you in jail and execute you for taking pictures. I think North Korea is suffering from a "Hey, look at me, I'm somebody" lack of confidence. They are NOT a major industialized country and would probably not exist if not for the help of other countries. They are digging themselves a hole with the recent missle snafu. I know you didn't need to get an earful from me, I like your picture and I'm not holding anything against you but I consider you lucky to capture such an image.
Nice work, I like the wide format.
Scott

Hi David, Ideal POV for this unusual scene. Good clarity and colours with excellent note. Good details both visual and written. TFS. Murray.

This is so absolutely unbelievable - cult of personality, truly interesting and deeply frightening the same time, must be the fascination of the evil that makes us all look at these pictures with such interest - and such feelings.
Great Shot!
