Snapshots of Hiroshima

A-Bomb Dome (The bomb exploded directly above this building. It was the only structure left standing in a 3-mile radius after the blast)
Paper cranes are a symbol of peace and can be found throughout the city.

    Love this entry. I am a big fan of the pictures as I've never been to Hiroshima (and it's sort of in line with my blog!) I'd love to get out there someday. Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. :)
