weekly photo challenge: gone but not forgotten
Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park is dedicated to the first city in the world to experience a nuclear attack.
As with all memorials, it serves as a reminder. Although all those lives are gone, they are not forgotten. The war is also gone, but will not be forgotten.
Towards the centre of the park is a monument that holds the names of all the people killed by the bomb.
The monument is aligned in such a way that when we look through the arch, we see the Peace Flame and theHiroshima Peace Memorial (i.e. Genbaku Dome or A-Bomb Dome).
The dome marks where the first atomic bomb exploded on the morning of August 6, 1945. It is the skeleton of the actual building that was there that day. What we see is what remained and has been preserved.
See the Weekly Photo Challenge for other bloggers’ interpretation of gone, but not forgotten.

weekly photo challenge: humanity
“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” – Mahatma Gandhi
The weekly photo challenge asked for us to share our interpretation of humanity. And these wise words from Mahatma Gandhi came to mind.
We took this photo only recently when we were in Geneva, Switzerland.
Have a wonderful weekend!
We welcome your comments!

weekly photo challenge: dialogue
The instruction for the Weekly Photo Challenge was:
It’s your turn now: for this week’s challenge, bring together two of your photos into dialogue. What do they say to each other?
These photos were taken from either side of the defensive walls of Castelgrande at Bellinzona, Switzerland…
“So are you in? Or are you out?”
You are welcome to leave us your thoughts here.

weekly photo challenge: fray
Fray has several meanings and we’ve chosen to go for the battle-fight definition for this week’s photo challenge!
This was taken in 2009 while passing through Yellowstone National Park!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
