The Aftermath of Fukushima

I found something that really interested me today on my favorite news site source. I've always really enjoyed the "Through Photos" type of articles on the Guardian's website, where they take a story of some kind and tell it through photographs, which I find to be a very effective in showing the consequences of a disaster. The one that I am providing a link to at the bottom of this post shows photos of what the evacuation zones of the Fukushima disaster now currently look like. This includes shots of abandoned towns, abandoned houses, and even of people who refused or decided to stay within the evacuation zones, a couple of which have decided to take on the responsibility of taking care of animals that had been left behind when their owners fled the area. So I have just included a few images and a link to the original article just because I find these images powerful and enlightening.
