GENIE (Air-2A) Unguided Strategic Air Defense Air-to-Air Rocket
On July 19, 1957, a Genie was launched from 18,000 feet by a F893 Scorpion aircraft and detonated over Yucca Flat as part of Operation Plumbbob. This was the first and only U.S. made nuclear tipped air-to-air rocket test detonation.

The atomic cannon was built by the United States in the mid-1950s to hurl nuclear shells far enough that they wouldn't kill the people who fired them. The first atomic cannon went into service in 1952, and was deactivated in 1963. A single 280mm shell was fired seven miles at the Nevada Test site on May 25, 1953. Twenty Atomic Cannon were manufactured; at least 8 appear to have survived the Cold War and are on public display today. The largest atomic cannon sits atop a hill overlooking Fort Riley, Kansas.

At the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, Albuquerque, New Mexico. This museum also covers nuclear theory, uranium mining, powerplants, and such peaceful pursuits, but I am more interested in things that blow up!
I liked how lucky I was to shoot this as the smoke had an interesting shape.

Atomic Testing Museum documents the work conducted at the Nevada Test Site and its impact on the nation. This interactive museum houses artifacts on loan from personal collections, the Smithsonian Institution, Lawrence Livermore Laboratory and pieces of the Berlin wall and World Trade Centers.
Next to the top-of -the-line Nomad, the Blackeye is a little stiffer, a touch more aggressive and better suited to sporty intermediate and advanced skiers. With adequate dampening and grip for quick red run skiing the Blackeyes look sleeker and feel the most solid in the range- in fact I think for most men the graphics alone will instill a bit more performance in you than the rather wishy-washy graphics on some of the lower models.

Also known as Hiroshima Peace memorial, this is one of the few buildings surviving the atomic blast. Standing 160m from the hypocenter it was destroyed in seconds.
Stands there to remind the world of the terrible consequences of atomic bombing.

this is concept for geo/organic design. i chose an atomic bomb since during our times we are in constant state of fear about nuclear war given the current events. i put the peace sign as means to the irony of peace through pointless conflict
Today marks the 73rd Anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing. While in Hiroshima last week I was able to walk the grounds around the only building left standing from that horrible day. Hopefully the world has learned from this tragedy and we never repeat this horrible act again.
