My random, desktop image of the day happens to be from 7 years ago today, when I hung out in the rain to watch a bit of the 2010 Tokyo Marathon. Today was the 2017 version.

The wheelchair racers (車いすマラソン) lead the pack.

原爆ドーム

Hiroshima Peace Memorial Atomic Bomb Dome Genbaku Dōmu

Hiroshima Peace Memorial (AKA Atomic Bomb Dome or Genbaku Dōmu)

When I visited the Atomic Bomb Dome in 2013, work was being done on it. The construction was not to bring it back to its former, pre WW2 state; instead, it was to keep it from falling to pieces during an earthquake.
