Hiroshima

Doc and I took the Shinkansen train to Hiroshima and visited Peace Memorial Park and the A-Bomb Dome.

The Cenotaph, a memorial for victims of the bomb


This tree was about 1,300 meters aways from the epicenter of the bomb blast and survived with burns down its center. It has been replanted at the Peace Memorial Park.
