North Korea at Night



This is an amazing photograph I stumbled across on this site. It was taken by a satellite in October of 2000. While Kim Jong Il is spending billions on his military and chemical and nuclear weapons (not to mention his affinity for lavish living, such as expensive wine) his country of 23 million people does not even have light at night. The website notes that the lights in the Sea of Japan are fishing vessels which use bright lights to lure squid. Yes, a satellite photo of Asia shows fishing vessels with more lights than the entire country of North Korea. It's hard to comprehend. Please pray for the people of North Korea.
