Hiroshima Peace Memorial, Hiroshima, Japan. 6 August 2018 is the 73rd anniversary of the atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima, Japan during WWII. This site was ground zero on 6 August 1945 when the world's first atomic bomb was dropped in warfare by the B-29 Enola Gay. Originally built as The Hiroshima Prefecture Industrial Promotion Hall in 1915 by Czech architect Jan Letzel, the Hiroshima Peace Memorial is also known as Genbaku Dome, Atomic Bomb Dome or the A-Bomb Dome.

When I shot this view of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, all the other photographers chose the opposite side of the structure to set their tripods. I liked this view the best plus I didn't want to take the same angle as everyone else.
