This photo, taken Sept. 28, 2026, shows a pine tree near Mount Nam in the ancient city of Gyeongju, North Gyeongsang Province, southeastern South Korea, which has a marking to show it needs cutting down due to its infection with pine wilt disease. The mountain is called an open-air museum packed with more than 150 Silla Dynasty Buddhist relics and designated part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. (Yonhap)
