Seeing imaginary figures in cloud formations is a child’s game. The Atomic bombs dropped over in August 1945 created clouds of massive size and powerful beauty while concealing the consequences to Hiroshima and Nagasaki far below. World War II would soon end. Nearly eighty years later we are trying to prevent these extreme measures of defense. Reconciliation brings the wish that we may have the peace to ponder clouds like a child.
