Few visual distractions

Kim Il Sung, the Great LeaderThis portrait of Kim Il Song is taken by telephoto lens. It’s on Kumsusan Memorial’s walls; it’s not very large relative to the area it’s on.

In general, there are few visual distractions in North Korea. One or two mosaic portrait of the leaders in each city (a few more in Pyongyang), a few red banners hailing them or wishing for their immortality and well-being; a few posters touting the military and the friendship between all workers, that’s about it.
Here, in general, what you see is what you get.
