South Korea – Peering into North Korea (Photo-Of-The-Week)
These sculptures face north, sitting atop a hill above the DMZ, which separates North and South Korea. The park was constructed to console those North Koreans who are unable to return to their hometowns because of the division of Korea since 1950. Imjin Peace Park. Near Paju, South Korea. Photograph taken February 7, 2009. [Click the photo thru to Posterous to see a larger version.]

Thanks, it came out rather nice, but the challenge was I had to wait nearly an hour until just that moment when there was no one walking in the shot. I’m sure you know that feeling.

Unusually tear jerking for one who understands the symbolism of these sculptures. Awesome shot Andy
