Hiroshima Part 1

I went to Hiroshima for the first time back in March. The pictures are long overdue, but here they are

The A-bomb Dome (Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Promotion Hall). The blast was almost directly above this building, so the section under the dome remained intact

I'll be in Hiroshima prefecture in Sera Town for Jet. I'm looking forward to visiting the city. I've already been to the genbaku sight in Nagasaki. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures.
