Two men sit atop "anchor stones" in fields outside Pyongyang. According to the original caption for the image, Korean folklore holds that Pyongyang is a boat floating in the waters of the Taedong and Potong rivers; some interpretations claim the two great stones moored the city, preventing it from floating away, while others maintain that the monoliths served as masts for the "floating island city."
