A quiet and peaceful day like this in AugustThe building was remarkably well preservedBricks and steel withstanding the blastI thought the structure would look more cold than it actually did. It had quite a warm feeling about itBare walls and steel, but quite a friendly and peaceful settingThe city as it has been rebuilt beyond the Dome siteOne of the many statues around the Dome siteThe park around the Dome site is very peaceful and well organizedNature at its best

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.
This building, a former kimono store erected 1929, was one of the few to survive the bomb blast. It now serves as the park’s “Rest House” (visitor center).
