Satellites uncover North Korea
By Adrian Brown
BBC News
North Korea is one of the most secretive states in the world. Its citizens cannot travel abroad and have little, if any contact with those who visit their country. The few tourists who do make it are carefully herded to a handful of destinations and rarely get off the beaten track.
Yet, thanks to satellite imagery and the internet, North Korea's secretive world is gradually being unveiled. Here is a series of remarkable photographs showing aspects of North Korea's hidden world that are rarely seen by outsiders, as well as some unusual views of more familiar sights.

Chia Head could. He is a fortified bunker deep underground.
Maybe he can take his own life there just as Hitler did. One can only dream....

I'm thinking star party. Be sure to get all the paper work in order or off to prison for spying. Imagine the deep kimchi for owning a telescope and a stout tripod.

This demonic tyrant makes his people eat grass so he can raise ostriches and have a big army to protect his tyranny.
Funny how that sits all right with this world, but Saddam Hussein’s tyranny didn’t. Strange.
