The Nuclear Shadows of Hirosima

 The Nuclear Shadows of Hirosima


The heat from the explosion was so intense, in fact, that it bleached everything in its blast zone, leaving eerie nuclear shadows of human detritus where citizens once were.

Such shadows weren’t left by people alone. Any object that was in the way of the blast was imprinted onto its background, including ladders, windowpanes, water main valves and bicycles.

Many of them remain on the walls to this day.

Hiroshima, Japan, Aug 6, 1945
