I came across one of these photos today and thought it was absolutely beautiful. I couldn’t find a gallery. So, I decided to create one from various news stories; photos of remembrance and a tribute to peace.

Missed the event by a few days again. 3rd year in a row! Will be near Hiroshima on Saturday. Beautiful shots Aimee. Love the last one with the young boy praying for peace. Thanks for sharing.

The little boy praying is my favorite one, I’ll add a few more if I can find them. With the headlines today these photos had a peaceful affect, a reminder to always hope. Maybe you can light a lantern when you go to Japan Elliott :)
