If you`ve been to Japan you`ll recognise lots of these images, if you haven`t then this is a great video showing many different facets of Japan.

Of the 800 plus photos i took from the Hiroshima and Kyoto trip a while back i found a few nature and wildlife ones i was quite happy with.

This bird was in a stream near Gion City in Kyoto.

There were plenty of trees flowering in the grounds of Nijojo Castle in Kyoto.

A-Bomb Dome

You can only really understand the devastation that hit Hiroshima by going there as i suggested a few weeks back. The A-Bomb Dome was one of the only remaining structures that survived, if only partially.

In the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum there’s a scale model of Hiroshima before and after.

A-Bomb

Widespread destruction with only several buildings still standing.
