A composite from these two shots:-
My thanks to Rebecca Tifft for commenting on the first picture that it looked like an eye, which prompted me to make this image.
Always tried to figure out the hookah, succeeding in burning herself at least three times before she managed to get cannabis into it, light it, and smoke herself silly. Weed bravery at its best! She was now properly giddy, munchy hungry, and ....... off to do what she'd been told to do. Even if she was not particularly thrilled. Oh she'd get her revenge yes... creatively too.
Always was a tracker... and had at least some sense of smell. And she remembered the damnable guard from the scene in the village anyway. She'd simply check the village level by level if she had too. Starting at the lowest level since most everyone was usually on the second level. Least likely to find him there. Which meant she could say she had tried and go home to her tree. Yessss! And then she stopped, her nose twitching. Well fuck. There he was.

Started as three bracketed images taken in infrared using a modified Canon EOS 5D. Plenty of manipulation of the colours to give predominantly two complimentary ones.
I took this shot at the hypocenter of the nuclear blast in Hiroshima, which is the surface location directly below the nuclear explosion.
On Monday, August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m., the nuclear weapon "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima from the Enola Gay, and detonated approximately 600m directly above this exact spot, immediately killing at least 70,000 and destroying 70% of the city's buildings. In short, with a vanishingly small number of exceptions, anybody standing within 3/4 kilometer of where I was standing ceased to exist instantaneously. Of course the casualty numbers expanded dramatically over the coming days, and indeed months.
Truth be told, I'm not a bleeding heart, and can understand those who rationalize the necessity of this event, as much as those who believe it is an inexcusable horror that should never have happened. It did happen though, and the consequences were real and undeniable, and still can be felt when you stand in a place such as this. If you have the means and opportunity to visit Hiroshima sometime in your life, do.
