Created by Brianna in Milton, Ontario. I think it’s more like an abandoned farm house than a Halloween scene. It even has the birds circling around.

Underwater Ruins, Japan
One of the most hotly debated underwater discoveries dates back to 1995 and is still producing differing theories today. A wayward diver stumbled across the ancient ruin site off the southern coast of Yonaguni, Japan. The site appeared to show huge stone blocks cut into the shape of stairs, paved streets and crossroads. The discovery is estimated to be around 10,000 years old, with many scientists believing it to be the remains of an ancient sunken city. Not everyone agrees though and some experts believe the large blocks are naturally formed and the result of tectonic movement. Whatever the answer may be, it is undoubtedly one of the greatest underwater wonders of the world.

Hiroshima: Like a Graveyard with not a Tombstone Standing
60% of the US people still think this was the right thing to do. (Classic “not in my backyard” thinking).
Today is the 70th anniversary of the first atomic bomb being dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima, by a US aircraft.
The bombing – and a second one on Nagasaki three days later – claimed the lives of at least 140,000 people in the city. Half died slowly, over several weeks/ months from radiation, burns and dehydration.
This war poster makes me think of all those movies where the US saves the world from… aliens, natural disasters, monsters, etc. Ironic.
A Japanese report on the bombing characterized Nagasaki as “like a graveyard with not a tombstone standing”

Old Photos from 335 Yonge, Toronto
335 Yonge St., Toronto is gone now. The former Reynolds Block/ Edison Hotel from the 1950’s, from the 1970’s and thena more recent photo before the fall of one outside wall followed by the fire which finished it.
In the photos it seems to be called the Edison Hotel but most of the news sources referred to it as the Empress Hotel.
