The English language brochure from the Atomic Bomb Museum. A lovely, domed structure built partly into a hillside, the museum is well-curated, solemn, and deeply moving -- but also unexpectedly hopeful. It has a great English-language audio guide.
Rather than be endlessly angry -- which they had every right to be -- the people of Nagasaki rebuilt and dedicated themselves to being the last city every to be destroyed by an atomic weapon.
The museum is remarkably balanced. Nobody gets off easy. Certainly not the United States (for obvious reasons) -- but neither does Japan. There's an exhibit at the end about "Japan's 15 Years of War," which points out that Japan was effectively at war for 11 years with mainland Asia, bent on expanding its territory, before it entered a pact of convenience with Germany and attacked Pearl Harbor.
But the centerpiece of the museum is the horrible destruction wrought by the bomb -- from the blast and its intense heat, killing 75,000 people; from the raging fires that followed; and from the radioactive fallout that killed another 75,000 people over agonizing decades.
We didn't take many pictures of the inside -- not because it was forbidden, but because it didn't feel right.
Fellow flickrite steve_cx plays guitar in "The Atomic Rays". Here they are in action at the Cat & Wheel on Cheltenham Road in Bristol on Friday night. Poor light and a crush of people dancing at the front made photography tricky, but the music made up for that.

WHAT IT IS: Atomic Blastoise – it is Rafael’s inspired design based on the recent mega evolution of Blastoise in Pokémon X and Y
WHAT IT IS FOR: it is a personal project of his in which he is simply showing his appreciation for the brand and bending a current style to fit his own with his colour pallet and extra detail. It could also be said to be an insight into modern desensitisation combining something once aimed entirely for children with vulgar language as well as conventions relating to guns and violence.
