The Peace Dome

 |
| BEFORE | AFTER |
| Visiting the Hiroshima Peace
Park was one of the most moving experiences
of my life. The dome pictured above has been left he way it was rendered after the bombing of Hiroshima as a reminder of the devastation that follows the use of nuclear weapons. |

Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
| The story is about a young
victim of the Hiroshima bomb. While in the
hospital suffering from leukemia, Sadako fashioned origami paper cranes. Hoping that, as Japanese tradition holds, after making one thousand paper cranes, her wish would be granted. Sadako was hoping for a cure. |
 |
At Hiroshima Peace Park there is a
memorial to Sadako. Here people from all over the world, place paper cranes in memory of Sadako and in hope for an end to nuclear proliferation. |
| Garlands of paper cranes and letters of hope placed at the base of the Sadako memorial. |  |
 |
I added a paper crane to the
menagerie. |
