Hiroshima

From the beauty of the gardens and temples in Kyoto to the ugliness of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. There's not much more to say than what the pictures show. At the time the cities population was 350,000. 140,000 died from the bomb. The rusty tricycle is from the grave of a three year old. He was buried with the tricycle in his backyard because he like to ride it so much and his father thought he was too young to die. Years later he was buried in the family grave yard. The little girl is Sadako. She was two when the bomb was dropped. She is famous because she tried to make 1,000 paper cranes when she got cancer at the age of 11 because she thought it would allow her to make a wish. She never got to 1,000. There is a children's monument in her honor. The night picture is the atomic dome. The building survived, but as you can see, the dome was destroyed.
