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.

Copenhagen living
Today’s photo is of the neighborhood just to the north of my place in Copenhagen last summer. I found the streets to be quite charming. At dinner time children could be seen playing in the streets while parents drank in the sun at picnic tables in their front yards.
Upon doing a little research I found out that the area (also called Farimagsgade) was built in the 19th Century. All of the houses are fewer stories than what you find closer to the city center. It was thought that no one would want to live so “far” from work in central Copenhagen when these were first built. Now, with Copenhagen’s biking system, these are some of the closest residences to central Copenhagen in which owners don’t have to walk up dozens of stairs and have other people living above and/or below them.
Originally, two or three families lived in each house. Now, only single families live in each unit. I’m guessing the prices are very high, and the cars parked out front attested to the wealth of the residents.
Cathedral Rock is likely the most recognizable of Sedona’s many red, sandstone formations. My favorite thing about this image is the memory of my condition at the time I took it. We were on our way down after reaching the end of the trail. I had a really bad headache until we began our descent. I took this when my head was experiencing a bit of a post-headache euphoria.
Today’s photo is of a non-famous angle of famous Kakuenbo in Shosenkyo. The famous vantage point is this one.
My random, desktop image of the day is from a few summers ago. We were on our way to Hawaii. To anyone under the clouds, it was merely another overcast day. From above, though, it was lovely.
