Trees that survived the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, Japan\, are known as \;hibakujumoku. Some 77 years after the nuclear blasts\, these survivor trees continue to signify the vulnerability of life in the face of nuclear threats. Tagged and carefully tended\, each is a witness to a catastrophic encounter with \;nuclear attack.

\n\nAn exhibit opening on Aug. 6 &mdash\; the 77th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing &mdash\; from 4 to 6 p.m. will feature a talk by the photographer\, Katy McCormick\, at 5 p.m. The event is free of charge and open to the public.
