Hiroshima pictures

This is the cenotaph. Looking through the arch, there is a casket containing all the names of the people known to have died in the bomb; the atomic flame (which will only be extinguished when the last atomic weapon on Earth is dismantled); and in the distance, the atomic bomb dome.



This is the atomic bomb dome, formerly a council building. It (mostly) survived the blast by being underneath the hypocentre. Everything else was reduced to rubble.
