Here are a couple of pics of the pine trees near the beach in Gangneung (Gangwondo Province). The area is layered as follows: ocean, beach, military chain-link fence, pine trees, road, and then either more pine trees or rice/onion fields.
The military fence was put up a long time ago to protect against invasion from North Korea, and most of it still exists, stretching a long ways (80 km?)up to the border. Parts of it have been taken down, however, to increase access to the various beaches, and most of the observation towers, bunkers, etc. are no longer in use.
