The grass was very thin and spotted yellow from a summer long soaking of intense sunshine. Looked like any park in a forgotten neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>..September 8th, 2007 Second time at the epicenter, Nagasaki..<br \/>\nWalked to the epicenter at 6:30AM. A Japanese man walking across the park. Stops and bows in front of the monument. A deep bow. A sign of great respect. Continues to his destination.
