Seeing me, seeing you. Being watched by a North Korean soldier.

Looking across to North Korea

The huge flagpole that North Korea erected in its propaganda village
The bridge of no return again. So called because after the Korean war the North Korean soldiers captured by the South were allowed to choose weather to stay in South Korea or return home to the North. Once across this bridge and past the military checkpoint at the other side there was no return. Nobody has dared cross this bridge for 50+ years.
