(CNN) - French photographer Raphael Olivier is constantly in search of arresting visual stories -- and travels far to see them in person.

Between commercial work, the Singapore-based photographer will often travel to far-flung or remote locations to produce personal photo series.
In the past, he's explored the messy, mass urban jungleof Chongqing, China as well as the country's incessant drive to build -- resulting, at times, to eerily deserted ghost towns.
But this July, he turned his lens to a different country, visiting North Korea on an architecture tour organized by Beijing-based Koryo Tours.
Posters note:  There are some interesting architectural photos there.  They kind of remind me of Third Reich architect Albert Speer's photos.

Thanks for posting this. Very interesting. It looks very plain and sterile. Kind of eery.
