How about captions, folks.
For every photo.

So we can all enjoy learning as we go, like the first day at play school. Not everyone will recognise every image.

Apologies for multiple single posts but it's easier when mobile posting.

Spent a day in Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima in the summer.

The museum is the single most humbling place I have ever visited.
