Unintended photos from the most isolated country in the world

A press tour of Pyongyang, North Korea took an apparent wrong turn, and reporters likely saw much more than North Korea's government intended.

From the article:

The photos...offer one of the world's few glimpses ever into the stark, Stalinist emptiness of Pyongyang daily life. But they are also a reminder of the totality of North Korea's isolation that its tiny leadership could, save this small and momentary lapse, seal off 25 million people and 45 thousand square miles from a world that is more connected and transparent than ever.
