Destroyed Industrial Complex on Terraced Hillside, Hiroshima Area, Japan, Post-Atomic Bomb, 1945
The wreckage of an industrial facility built into a terraced hillside outside Hiroshima is shown in this photograph taken after the atomic bombing of August 6, 1945. A collapsed steel support tower and a water-filled pit dominate the foreground, while the ruined foundations of structures climb the hillside beyond, with distant smokestacks marking the site's industrial character.
