Since the Placemark: North Korean Nuclear Facilities of Yongbyon / Google Earth are really nearby, I suppose the area is just completely polluted with plutonium and the images show nothing but the natural colors that should be expected under such conditions

Damn, I knew somebody would call me out on that Killing Fields reference. Anyhow, I’m pretty sure that’s the wall there. Mine fields are what I was thinking of, though I don’t know if you could identify a mine field from this distance.

Uh, the Killing Fields were in Cambodia. You mean the Demilitarized Zone.

BenQ:
Not sure what kind of planes those are, but it must be training day. One of those two planes on the runway can’t seem to steer properly…

Taken in winter and appears to be ice. At the right angle you can sort of see clouds reflected in the ice. This is probably the same as other places that have shots of water where things are reflected back to the camera.

I have browsed a bit on North Korea and come up on an airfield.
Does anyone know what type of (presumably old) planes those guys flight?

There’s a lot of this going on in Asia in general, some parts of the coast of China are also “inverted”, with blue fields and the like.
