Traveling North Korea with David Guttenfelder
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/traveling-north-korea-with-david-guttenfelder.htmlThe Associated Press has received permission to conduct a week-long tour of North Korea. For seven days, photographer David Guttenfelder traveled around the country. The end point of the route was Paektu Mountain, and along the way, the journalist took these photos. It is worth saying that the photographer could not talk with ordinary people who met him along the way, and he traveled all the way under the gaze of the guides.
