Legs and Borders

Right next to Auschwitz and Pripyat ; if it only was easier approachable; it should be a must go destination for anyone. This place bares an unbelievable historic value, luckily it is being preserved with great care. Museum in Hiroshima goes into a lot of detail about the history and circumstances of the explosion, you can spend hours walking around and reading materials about it, there are many items salvaged from the site like actual human remnants, personal items, bricks, tiles, melted glass jars - all bearing effects of the disaster, some of them you can touch and inspect yourself. There are also survivors, now volunteering at the museum answering the important questions. It's all very well organized and you can walk away with a lot of information's of what actually happened here. Thousands of people visit the museum daily which is quite comforting, as the knowledge is passed on to the young, few of which fell into tears right in front of my eyes. A watch belon...

Tokyo Metropolitan Central Wholesale Market commonly known as the Tsukiji Market is the biggest fish and seafood market in the world it handles over 2000 tons of marine products per day, some call it a grandfather of the fish markets. It opens in the early morning, about 5 AM for the tuna auction and a limited number of 120 tourists per day is allowed inside, position in the queue counts. I didn't manage take part in it, as the metro did not operated that early. Tourists are also not allowed inside the main market before 9 AM, but for some reason (did not plan it) i got inside about 6 AM and had a good hour stroll before getting kicked out by the security, it benefited with some shots from the rear side of the market, usually out of reach for the tourists. Happy days, even though people i photographed that day look tad serious, but they must have had a busy shift. Thanks for watching.

While traveling in Japan i have been lucky, honoured and humbled to take part in 68th Anniversary of Hiroshima bombing, kept on the day of the explosion right next to A-bomb Dome . Thousands of lanterns had been flowing down the river, pictures does not give it justice as it was happening in stages, not in one go. It is believed that the lights guide the spirits of departed back to the other world. You can find more in-depth report about Hiroshima and it's tragic history here . Thanks for watching.

My second and last exploring stop during the stay in Japan. Online resources were giving me different perspectives on the way site is being protected. Some talking about cameras, motion sensors and angry security, trying to rip you off for damaging the premises, while others telling a story of a pretty easy and straight forward to do site. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst as they say, i assumed that the first scenario is the case and approached Dreamland quite cautiously. Did a few rounds around it, looking for mentioned devices and personas, had a brief brake after bumping into a Japanese clacking security device at one of the side roads, that scared the crap out of me (but trucks been using it, so i assumed it was placed to protect something else). Eventually i got inside with eyes and ears peeled to anything suspicious. Chosen the roller-coaster for the first stop, as it had good view range in case something was about to happen. Unfortunately it didn't, so no copy/p...
