This is a tiny version of a photograph by Danish Siddiqui (there’s a bigger version here), one of a series he took of the Pyongyang subway (he also took these while he was in N.Korea). He’s a terrific photographer-journalist, part of a Reuters team that won a Pulitzer prize for its coverage of Rohingya, but for me because of the chess-figure reflections and the colour, as well as the subject, this picture transcends most Reuters pics, which set out to be documentary. For that it reminds me of Fay Godwin’s well-known Meall Mor, taken near Glencoe in Scotland (here it is on Google Maps), that’s more than a postcard landscape.
