These are beautiful but it feels weird the lack of people in them. I can see a few people and vehicles if you zoom in but the emptiness of the streets in every image is surreal to me.

A written notice by Saarland’s public television: “We are filming the beauties of your town today. Please remain within your houses.”

The streets were probably cleared out for a military parade or something like that.
@HiddenLayer5 @201dberg I think there is a specific reason because Pyongyang’s streets are usually filled with cars.
