survivors - the A-bombed trees of Hiroshima


	HI! This site is about some little known survivors of the August 6, 1945 A-bombing and resulting fire-storm in Hiroshima, Japan. A number of trees survived and are still going strong. This is a work in progress. I plan to assemble a collection of photo essays on them as time permits. Enjoy! Sept. 1999
	Trees are listed by their distance (in meters) from the hypocenter, location, and then tree name.
