Notes From the Road


Photo Stories #4: The Nuclear Issue

Alex Metcalfe July 26, 2017

There are a lot of arguments for nuclear disarmament. The loudest I heard was stood among the elderly Japanese of the Hiroshima Peace Park, as they spoke of the sudden flash and the day the world truly changed. 

I reflected this upon a sobering sunset at the Itsukushima Shrine.

It's a little hut nestled on the white sands of Gili Meno, with a palm frond roof and bright red plastic stools for chairs. Luxurious spas and retreats stand either side. But Ketut and her daughter, Leyly, run the best food on the island.
