WHY?
This policewoman supervises the non-existent traffic. She’s doing her job, no questions asked. ‘The government will provide’, is North Korea’s motto.
WHAT?
Have you ever tried to take a picture in Pyongyang? There’s always someone to ‘help’ so you don’t make ‘mistakes’. When my tour group was permitted to walk around a little, it was a rare opportunity to shoot normal Koreans in the street.
