Nagasaki Harbor

Nagasaki is a Japanese city on the northwest coast of the island of Kyushu. It’s set on a large natural harbor, with buildings on the terraces of surrounding hills. It is synonymous with a key moment during World War II, after suffering an Allied nuclear attack in August 1945. The event is memorialized at the city’s Atomic Bomb Museum and Peace Park.

Nice capture of the rebuilt city. Incredible to think of the past horror there.

An exceptional view of this city and harbour; looking at it one would not imagine the misery of that earlier period. V

Great POV on the martyr city (first time in XVI-XVII centuries when christians were persecuted and killed by numbers and of course at the end of WWII).

It is a comprehensive reconstruction. Is there no residual radioactivity to deal with?

Wonderful perspective and shot of the harbor. I could still see the result of the bombing when I was there in 1966. V
