I took this on the evening of August 6, 2005, the 20th Anniversary of the Seattle From Hiroshima to Hope Lantern floating ceremony, at Green Lake. It was the 50th anniversary of the detonation of a nuclear bomb at Hiroshima. Thousands of people gather on the northwest shore of the lake, make small donations, pick up their lanterns, have them blessed by a Buddhist monk, bring them down to the shore, have them lit, and launch them, with prayers for peace.The 23rd Anniversary gathering is tonight.
