Atomic Bomb Dome

Appropriate that it's posted today, the anniversary of the a-bomb drop on Hiroshima. Tonight there will be hundreds of candles surrounding the dome, and paper lanterns on the river as a memorial. It's a nice reminder of the city I used to live in. It sounds strange to say it (especially today), but we'd often go there after work and have a couple drinks right by the dome there.

are there any pictures of this building before the bomb was dropped?

A handful of images of the Genbaku Dome can be found on the internet.
