Genbaku Dome aka A-Dome is one of the few buildings in Hiroshima which survised the direct impact of the first atomic bomb. This building has been kept as is as a symbol of the devastation caused by this weapon.

Welcome to TrekLens Gilles

A poignant first post from you, this famous landmark is always touching.

Nice use of the wide lens, the distortion works ok here - I think you could have moved closer though, perhaps to eliminate the surrounding trees, the building on the left, and reduce - without removing - the empty sky overhead.

I realise that the sky holds some symbolism but I don't think the photo needs to be 50% sky in order to work!
