On This Day In History
1940: London is devestated by German bombing raids

Quote Of The Day
"Smoke curls among the ruins of East London. Many of the buildings have burned to the ground or split like exploded rocks. Small lights bloom like a sea of candles. Even this rain will never put them all out."
(John Owen Theobald, These Dark Wings )

Just like London, Kobe was devestated by intense bombing during World War Two. More recently, it was devestated once again by the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake. I pray this beautiful city never sees such devestation again.

I returned to Kobe Tower today, this time to ride the lift to the top. The tower has recently undergone extensive refurbishment and you can now walk around outside on the rooftop. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the  incredible view.
