While I believe the other photos, something about the photo in post#8 strikes me as being 'contrived'. Too much of a black dark difference between the North and the South, that leaves out even any trace of lighting from Pyongyang. Pyongyang's light, as dim as it may be, is certainly just as strong as some of the rural areas I recognize lit in the south, considering the size of the city and eyewitness reports on the ground.

I think when you scroll down you see more accurate photos; one does show a small whitened area for where Pyongyang should be. Just trying to be objective.

Also adding to the fact that the photo in #8 was apparantly taken at 8:16 p.m. local time in April, one does wonder why there is not even a speck of lighting in North Korea, when the other photos clearly show the lights of not only Pyongyang, but of the port cities of Wonsan and Chongjin as well.

Something still ain't right about that first photo, IMHO.

Why is the lighting also missing from Dadong, Shenyang and Dalian in China north of DPRK, which themselves are no shabby villages but rather streaming w/ light at night?
