Evening in Urakami
Taken from Mt Inasayama, I wasn’t quite able to get an angle free of the tree on the left, and a crop would take out some of the most important parts—the Peace Park and Hypocenter. This area of Nagasaki was obliterated and completely flattened (vanished) on August 9, 1945. It’s beautiful now from near and far, but definitively guilt- and sadness-inducing for a moral American when walking among the important sites. The visit worth it and very moving, as was Hiroshima several years prior. The Hypocenter is the green area immediately to the left of the red cube of a building just left-of-center about two-thirds of the way down picture.
