lanterns on the water.

Candles and paper lanterns float on the Motoyasu River Monday at the Peace Memorial Park in Hiroshima, Japan, in memory of the victims of the atomic bomb that killed an estimated 70,000 people 62 years ago. Prayers were offered for a nuclear-free world at Monday's ceremony. Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba is seeking the elimination of nuclear weapons.
