..July 2010 One legged torii gate at the Sanno Shinto Shrine in Nagasaki..
Hidden under the camphor trees on top of the hill. A piece of the world that survived the unthinkable.
I stumbled upon this interesting multimedia project by Isai Hashimoto. It shows the location of the 2,053 nuclear explosions that have occurred around the world from 1945-1998.

The things you find and tell us about, Paule…I’m getting my education!
A stark reminder of the horrors the people faced all those years ago in Nagasaki. If only more reminders had been left as they were.
Very good sujet, bravo!
