About the picture? or North Korea?

I see incredible warmth in the picture. That's what the contrast is for.

Heh. I just skipped through it. I assume it's a propaganda parable about the folly of capitalism.

Do you remember that video of that guy dancing all over the world, dancing through the DMZ? That was so funny.

While some pictures may have more "warmth" than others, the overall impression is not warm. I think the austerity and regimentation that lurks behind many of the images carries over into the others, but perhaps that's just me.

you also have to keep in mind that all the nice pics this guy got were of people from Pyongyang, people who are relatively better off than their rural counterparts.

*edit* well, mostly Pyongyang, not all the pics were taken there

Everyone has probably seen this image of N. and S. Korea at night, but: More at North Korea is Dark

I agree. There's definitely a coldness about it.
