Hiroshima, the pictures they didnt want us to see

Here are a series of pictures with description of the suffering after the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I must warn you for our sensitive readers, these are some very disturbing pictures.

I’m not approving the bombings or anything, but I want you to see why the Americans decided to kill so many in advance. I mean NOTHING justifies killing thousands of innocent people.

These are pictures of the Nanking Massacre in 1937, where the Japanese killed and raped thousands in a very cruel manner.

Aren’t we blessed to live in this western society where we feed the hungry and help the lesser fortunate?

Gunkanjima

“Gunkanjima is an island built upon a reef in the early 19th century because of a coal mine in the reefs and quickly became a densely populated island 1 km in diameter and 5300 people living packed together, working the mines.”

Wouldn’t wanna be there when night falls, looks pretty scary, nice pictures though.

Manhattan in the near future?

This is what will happen if we don’t listen to Al Gore and his presentation of the global warming issue, An Inconvenient Truth.
Also check out the whole slideshow, there are some great pictures in there like The rising Dubai skyline.
Now don’t mind me while I go burn some more fossil fuels..

Coffee with a drop of milk

This is a fascinating picture of a drop of milk touching a hot cup of coffee, apparently it took the artist a lot of time to take the picture at the right time.

And here’s an artist that does nothing but take pictures of fluids, with a highspeed camera that is.
