No Nukes (repost)


No Nukes (repost)
Originally uploaded by nofrills

* This is a reposted picture, many times again, as I don't want this one to slip away.

Original post, which is now five years old, is here, and another post here, and here, and here too, each with some comments. (Thank you!) This page is the most recent.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
A thirty-year-old sign of "no nukes declaration." large letters were possibly hand-written, in a very beautiful authentic style.

"No Nukes Declaration" can be seen in a lot of cities around Japan, because Japan is the first country that was nuke-bombed (in 1945).
peace. :-)

Feel free to use this pic on your blog if you like.

It's a pity I couldn't get a decent shot with John O'Neil on the right. (I tried, but it turned out horrible. I was pogo-ing.)
