In this combination photo, a Japanese survivor of the earthquake and tsunami rides his bicycle through the leveled city of Minamisanriku, Japan, on March 15, 2011, top, and a car drives through the same spot on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012. It has been one year since a huge earthquake and tsunami smashed Japan's coastline, killed around 19,000 people, and left more than half of Minamisanriku's residents dead or homeless. But while the streets are free of rubble, rebuilding has barely begun - leaving those who remain anxious about what the future holds.
