Looking toward Hakushima from Hiroshima Dai-honei Outer Moat.(Black building in the background is the Post Office Hospital). Note the trees in foreground. Trees which are black are burned, the grayish ones are unburned. The spotty objects on the surface of the river are Lotus plants. These were burned. The G.H.Q. building about 30 meters from the foreground trees were not burned, though crushed. The bridge in picture is intact.
