North Korea and the “Strangest Show on Earth”
October 13, 2010 in Headline
Daytime exterior shots in this series can be as old as August 2010. However, many of the photos are from the recent Arirang Mass Games in Pyongyang in October 2010. For background on the Arirang Mass Games, see the Guardian’s 2005 article “Welcome to the strangest show on earth” which describes the games as “one of the greatest, strangest, most awe-inspiring political spectacles on earth.”
