6. Looks like the same tree from the opposite angle before being wrapped.
Both are pretty stunning shots.

5. I hope Japan figures out a way to leave this land undeveloped.
Otherwise there will be a repeat of the disaster in the next few hundred years.

7. This will be a wild and desolate place for generations
as it slowly reclaims its beautiful natural landscape. It is already beautiful in a mournful kind of way--like the distant notes of a shakahachi flute.
