Devasted areas in the Moto-machi area just south of the Hypocenter.	Atomic Bomb-blasted tree
Debris behind the Anglican church.	A small church leveled by the blast from the right side.
Cleared streets	The twisted wreakage of one of the warehouses at the Hiroshima Harbor
The partially destroyed building of the Hiroshima Gas Co. .5km from the hypocenter.	The view from a bridge looking south, south east toward the Hiroshima Prefecture Industrial Exhibition Hall. Beyond the Hall is the Hypcenter. This view is taken less than 250 meters from there.
I believe, although I have no proof, that this is the area that had held the Hiroshima Army Barracks and Field Hospital.	The Anglican church to the north of the hypocenter.
