Hiroshima Genbaku Dome
Hiroshima Genbaku Dome, the well known scene of the destruction caused by the first Atomic bomb dropped on Japan at the end of World War II. Every year in August a ceremony is held to remember the lives lost and to remind the world of the danger of atomic weapons.
A quiet and peaceful day like this in August
The building was remarkably well preserved
Bricks and steel withstanding the blast
I thought the structure would look more cold than it actually did. It had quite a warm feeling about it
Bare walls and steel, but quite a friendly and peaceful setting
The city as it has been rebuilt beyond the Dome site
One of the many statues around the Dome site
The park around the Dome site is very peaceful and well organized
Nature at its best
A beautiful summers day on the banks of the river
A nice sculpture reminding us of the loss of life

I got the same peaceful feeling, futuristic setting.
The Children’s Peace Monument, erected 1958, in memory of Sadako Sasaki who died aged 12 from leukemia contracted when she was exposed to the bomb’s radiation at age 2.
