North Korea is one of the most secretive countries. Ruled by communists, labeled by US as one of the “Axis of evil” and the state sponsoring terrorists (no longer now), North Korea has not been open to the World for people to see.

Found both galleries via this post at DPReview.

Smashing Magazine has a list of 35 extremely beautiful HDR pictures. These are really high dynamic range pictures tone-mapped for displays (like your monitors) with limited dynamic range.
If you are interested in checking out more HDR pictures, please visit Flickr’s HDR group pool.
