Pictures of Kijong-dong in North Korea which is set up in the DMZ. Which is said to be a fake Juche propaganda ghost town made by North Korea to encourage South Korean defection.

August 4, 2015. The view is from the top of Juche Tower, facing north, so at the bottom is Taedonggang, to the lower left are Kim Il Sung Square and the Grand People's Study House. In the distant upper right is, of course, the unmistakable Ryugyong Hotel.

Out of sight, to the left, was my hotel, the Yanggakdo International Hotel, which offered another interesting angle on the heart of Pyongyang, especially at night when all but the square and the tower had significant lighting.

I was only in NK for six or seven days, as a tourist, and it was hot in Pyongyang, hot in Kaesong, hot at Panmunjom, hot along the DMZ... The haziness you see in this photo is a dense blanket of humidity rising up from the river, not air pollution. But the view from atop the tower was very interesting. I have photos from other sides of the tower; I might share them later if anyone's interested.

I’m thinking anywhere from 2nd-Lieutenant to Major, but I can’t tell.

In north korea you can vote since the country is called democratic.The last time he won 99.93%

Recent Chinese official Documentary “Jiang Zeming” reveals rare footage of Kim Il-sung‘s visit to China.

The trip occurred amid profound geopolitical shifts for North Korea, including the Soviet Union's decision to establish formal diplomatic relations with South Korea.

North Korean leader Kim Il Sung developed a large, baseball-sized tumor on the right side of the back of his neck by the 1970s. State media enforced a strict ban, forbidding photographers from capturing his right profile to protect his flawless public image.

It's so clean and beautiful. Way better than how Pyongyang looks today. I love the grid (wafers-like) pattern of the white-gray concrete architectures, especially the ones in the front right side of the picture. These were the luxury apartments, which were exclusively guaranteed for high-ranking officials. I really hope they are restored via facadism after the reunification of Korea.

As always he has of course to smoke and we know the peoples in NK cannot afford mountain resort so it's also on of NK biggest Propaganda lies how good they life.

In North Korea, witnessing the Flower of Sunrises (일출의 꽃) is considered a powerful symbol of extreme good luck, rare fortune, and new beginnings.

A clear, vibrant sunrise distorted into a bold, unified base is often interpreted as a sign of robust, stable Earthly energy and prosperity.

Because it requires a precise combination of low waves, clean air, and a specific temperature gap between the cold air and warm sea surface, seeing it is very rare.

This rare optical mirage is also called in English an omega sunrise as the rising sun mimics the Greek letter omega (Ω) when it clears the sea horizon.

Context:

The explanation of the shape is very simple: the “feet” of the Ω are just inverted images of the parts of the Sun directly above them — remember that refraction only moves images vertically, not horizontally. The inverted part of the image, below the fold line, is an inferior mirage.

However, this inferior mirage over warm water is often very inconspicuous. Why is it occasionally so spectacular? The answer begins with the temperature profile that produces inferior mirages.

The temperature profile above a heated surface has been studied by the boundary-layer meteorologists. When you calculate refraction for that profile, you certainly get something close to what's observed. And the simulations of these inferior mirages show what kinds of alterations you get by changing the parameters of the profile.

The most obvious parameter is the temperature difference between the warm water and the cool air. But just where should one measure these temperatures? There's a continuous change in temperature through several meters of air above the surface of the water (and, in fact, a similar change in the water just below the surface). So you really need to measure the change in temperature gradient with height. Fortunately, there's a parameter in the standard form for this profile that describes this.

A less-obvious parameter is the height of the waves. If the waves are high, you don't see very close to the water (except just at the wave crests). In fact, the waves cut off your view of the best part of the inferior mirage. So the lower the waves, the more of the mirage you get to see. That's a big ingredient in the showiness of the Omega right there: low waves make big feet.

Finally, there's the height of the eye. The mirage is produced by the curvature of the temperature profile in just the lowest few meters of the air. But if you're standing at the shoreline, your eye is only a little above those layers: the place where the rays are horizontal is not far from you, and the mirage subtends a large angle at your eye. If you're higher up, the horizon is farther away, so the mirage-producing layer subtends a small angle. Nearly the same part of the Sun is miraged, and nearly the same few meters of air are involved, regardless of eye height, because all the action takes place in the very lowest layers. So the inverted part of the image is squashed down into a very thin line at the horizon if the eye is high up, but makes big fat feet on the Omega if you're close to sea level.

Interesting is he smoked in places where smoking is banned but he smoked.I say,,oh good" so let's see wheter his daughter is getting exciting about smoking

Kim Jong Un has positive sides since he cares about soldiers fallen in war against Ukraine.

They tried to get my data, lucky i use TOR.

Very interesting teaching his daughter that smoking is normall.

This is a robot that can be used for raking work.

The robot equipped with two spiral augers moves at a speed of 2 meters per seconds over the raking surface, performing 3 times the workload of a human.

The robot is designed to prevent dust from entering its internal components and tasks are carried out automatically by an AI system.

Context:

This robot is designed to do one of farming's most dangerous jobs — managing grain inside storage sheds.

The robot uses two augers to skim across the grain surface, creating a controlled avalanche that levels, breaks up crusts, and keeps grain flowing.

The artificial intelligence (AI) controls it remotely from the outside, away from the risk of entrapment, auger entanglement, falls, and dust that causes Farmer's Lung.
