Hiroshima: Crane on dome - Iraq war protest

Paper Cranes are the symbol of Hiroshima so it seemed approprate that we saw two cranes atop the dome


Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum

Pavement art on the Promenade of Peace

... and a contemporary protest against the Iraq War (part of world wide demonstrations on 24th September ... we heard of large demos in Washington, London as well as small ones in Tokyo)

the demand for peace never rests ....

Hi Mark & Maree,

I am so glad you made it to Hiroshima. It's my favourite Japanese city!

And now for something completely different;

I thought you would appreciate this:

1. Go to google.com
2. Type in the word “failure”
3. DO NOT click search
4. Click “I’m Feeling Lucky”

:)
