Interesting - in most cases, the other folks standing in the pictures with Dear Leader are looking a little... tense.

Good to see their prisons have electricity I suppose.

Sun lamps for the people! The urban shots are so bleak it reminds me of winter.

Pic #16: hardly a light on in any of the windows. Do people actually live in those hi-rises? It all looks like an empty facade, not counting the spark of life on the street below.

Aside: Now I know what I'll tell my kids if/when I have them. Any time they act up I'll show them pictures of North Korea's cityscapes and tell them that if they don't behave I'll send them off to stay with Uncle Kim.

Anyone recommend any good books about North Korea? I feel like I should really know something about them before they finally go full on mental.

Check this out:

From Wikipedia: An image of the Korean Peninsula at night rendered from DMSP observations. The disparity in illumination levels is an indication of the difference in population and energy between the North and South.

Looks to be Pyong Yang (sp?) and military installations. Maybe a port here and there.

I think the most interesting part of this is that you can actually see a majority of the border line extremely crisply. It's like when you're a kid and you think the equator is physical rather than mathematical, only this really is physical.
