Postscript (PS):

  U.S. Navy photographer Lt. Wayne Miller photographed the city of Hiroshima on September 8, 1948, covered in debris from the destruction caused by the August 6, 1945, explosion of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. There are nearly 200 A-bombed trees that survived the direct exposure of the atomic bomb. Many of the trees did not survive. Within a two-kilometer radius, 170 trees have been recognized and labeled as living witnesses to the horrific events of that late summer. These trees, and an unknown number of smaller plants, have withstood or recovered from the effects of heat, motive power, and radiation. The annual rings and shapes of the trees record the events they have endured. By looking at the annual rings and branches of a tree, one can read the story that the shape holds.
